Effects of Sleep, Fatigue, and Timing of Post-dates Inductions Among Nulliparas

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Pregnancy, Prolonged

In brief

This randomized clinical trial will examine if there are any differences between post-dates inductions (inductions after 40 weeks of pregnancy) begun in the morning compared to the evening for first-time mothers. Sleep and fatigue measures will be measured to see if they differ by time of induction. Other measures will include the rate of births within 24 hours of admission, length of labor, use of labor analgesics, and method of delivery.
