The Welcome to Cambridge event , hosted by Personal and Professional Development PPD includes a welcome from a senior member of the University and the opportunity to network with other new colleagues, whilst learning some key facts about the University.

Refreshments will be available during the event, with updates on the wide range of opportunities and sources of support offered by the University. Welcome to Cambridge is held once each term.

If your waters break before 34 weeks, you'll only be offered induction if there are other factors that suggest it's the best thing for you and your baby. You may be offered an induction if you have a condition that means it'll be safer to have your baby sooner, such as diabetes , high blood pressure or intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy. If this is the case, your doctor and midwife will explain your options to you so you can decide whether or not to have your labour induced.

Before inducing labour, you'll be offered a membrane sweep, also known as a cervical sweep, to bring on labour. To carry out a membrane sweep, your midwife or doctor sweeps their finger around your cervix during an internal examination.

This action should separate the membranes of the amniotic sac surrounding your baby from your cervix. This separation releases hormones prostaglandins , which may start your labour. Having a membrane sweep does not hurt, but expect some discomfort or slight bleeding afterwards. If labour does not start after a membrane sweep, you'll be offered induction of labour.

Induction is always carried out in a hospital maternity unit. You'll be looked after by midwives and doctors will be available if you need their help.

If you're being induced, you'll go into the hospital maternity unit. Contractions can be started by inserting a tablet pessary or gel into your vagina. Induction of labour may take a while, particularly if the cervix the neck of the uterus needs to be softened with pessaries or gels. To obtain the effect, experimenters need to use strong mood inductions and weakly cued or free recall tests of memory. Ontological categories guide young children's inductions of word meaning : object terms and substance terms.

Nevertheless, we believe it plausible to hypothesize that infants can exploit multiple partly predictive cues in input speech to form initial inductions concerning linguistic categories.

Although ultrasound has no proven effect on neonatal morbidity, it provides more accurate estimates of gestational age that prevent unnecessary inductions for post-term pregnancy. Proofs are mainly simple structural inductions. Parts 1 and 2 are routine inductions. However, a major limitation of this study is that it did not involve a clinical sample and did not measure problemsolving before the rumination and distraction inductions. Relatedly, the third set of unexpected findings concern the fact that high levels of trait rumination did not interact with the effects of all inductions on all outcome measures.

The proof is by some easy inductions. Speculations and facts on the possible inductions of chirality through earth magnetic field. After this task, participants in the experiment were able to make grammaticality judgments about new strings of letters based on the inductions they had made during the learning phase.

The logic of backwards inductions. The proof is by induction on the derivation. See all examples of induction. These examples are from corpora and from sources on the web.

Oxytocin is naturally produced by your body to help the uterus contract. It may also be called by its synthetic name, Pitocin. An amniotomy is where your care provider uses an instrument that looks like a crochet hook to break the amniotic sac, allowing amniotic fluid to leak out.

This is uncomfortable but not painful. Again, this is usually done once the cervix is favourable, and oxytocin is used to keep labour consistent.

Each induction method carries some specific potential risks, so you and your care provider have to weigh the risks and benefits against the risks and benefits of continuing the pregnancy without inducing labour. Some uncommon but serious risks include uterine rupture and heavy bleeding after delivery. New research suggests that an induction at 39 weeks actually leads to a lower C-section rate, lower infant mortality and fewer blood pressure problems for women.

Some of those studies point to a lower rate of admission to the NICU , while others found a slightly higher rate. Induction may not be right for you if you have had a previous C-section or other major uterine surgery and are attempting a vaginal birth after Caesarian VBAC due to the risk of uterine rupture; if your placenta is blocking the cervix known as placenta previa ; if you have an active genital herpes outbreak; or if your baby is breech or transverse bum down or lying sideways in the uterus.

There are a bunch of home remedies out there to get labour started. If you have a midwife, she may have some approaches that she would like to use first, including the stretch and sweep described above.

Some traditional midwives, like Indigenous midwives , may use an herbal tea called blue cohosh to induce labour, but talk to your care provider beforehand.
