Inducing labor usually happens if you haven't delivered well after your due date.  You schedule this with your doctor ahead of time then check into the hospital on the chosen date. An injection of a drug called oxytocin  stimulates  labor so you can deliver.

It means when doctors give you medication for you to start your contractions and start labor
