Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine which of two types of standard intravenous (IV) fluids (a combination of 5% dextrose and Lactated Ringers solution and Lactated Ringers solution alone) has a better influence on labor when inducing labor in pregnant women. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Does the use of 5% dextrose and Lactated Ringers lead to a shorter labor than the use of just Lactated Ringers?
2. Does the use of 5% dextrose and Lactated Ringers increase the risk of neonatal hypoglycemia when compared to Lactated Ringers? Participants in this trial will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: a group that receives a solution of 5% dextrose and Lactated Ringers, and a group that receives Lactated Ringers alone. Researchers will compare the outcomes of the two groups to see which IV fluid is more effective.
