Primary outcomePrimary: Time From Start of Labor Induction to Vaginal Delivery — 15.3; 18.3 hour — p=0.03
Summary
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.
