Which is listed as a maternal indication for induction?
Answer
Postdate or prolonged pregnancy
Explanation
Postdate or prolonged pregnancy is included among the maternal indications for induction. The other choices are listed as absolute contraindications in the supplied material, so they are not indications to proceed with induction.
**Key takeaway:** An indication supports delivery; a contraindication makes induction inappropriate or requires careful avoidance.
**Glossary:** **Postdate pregnancy**: pregnancy continuing beyond the expected date. **Contraindication**: a condition that argues against a treatment.
