Nope.

It used to be, but has now been changed to a synthetic version.

There is a form of induction gel that is made from 'porcine ovarian relaxin', but it's not the prostagladin gel that's used in UK hospitals.

Afaik...

I want to know who was the first person who thought....hmmmm... we need to speed this labour up....

I know, pop out to the piggery love and fetch me some sperm, that'll do the trick!
