Summary

Hypothesis: The induction of labor in patients with unfavorable Bishop score is a challenging obstetrical process, and may be influenced or complicated by the cervical ripening method used. We will conduct a comparative study of the foley catheter vs the cervical ripening double balloon (Cook medical, GPN: G48149). We will compare the failure rates, cesarean section rate, infections and postpartum complications, especially endometritis.
