Cervical Foley Plus Vaginal Misoprostol for Labor Induction

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Induction of Labor

In brief

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of the combination of the supracervical foley bulb and vaginal misoprostol to vaginal misoprostol alone for labor induction. We hypothesize that use of the foley bulb plus vaginal misoprostol will result in shorter induction to delivery time.
