A
Continuing a pregnancy past the normal gestational period is likely to be detrimental to fetal health.

Polyhydramnios overdistends the uterus, making induction of labor high risk.
History of rapid labors is a reason for induction of labor because of the possibility that the baby would otherwise be born in uncontrolled circumstances.
