Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • the rate of cesarean delivery

    percentage of cesarean delivery from all deliveries

    from induction until delivery

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Bishop score difference between groups

    after 6 hours and after 24 hours

Other Outcomes (11)

  • time to delivery

    from induction to delivery and from ruptured membranes to delivery

  • Use of other ripening methods after "failure" of the allocated method

    24 hours after initiation of the treatment

  • Rate of achieving active phase of labor (≥ 5 cm cervical dilatation)

    within 24 hours of initiation

  • +8 more other outcomes

Study Arms (3)

MISOPROSTOL

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

* oral misoprostol, 50 microgram, every 4 hours * Repeat treatment every 4 hours until active labour begins: regular painful contractions (≥ 3 in 10 min), cervical dilatation ≥ 3 cm * maximal number of doses: 6 * Oxytocin infusion can be initiated 4 hours after the last dose of Misoprostol. * Failure of induction will be considered if no cervical change nor uterine contractions have begun during 24 hours of treatment. * Electronic fetal monitoring should be performed for 30 min after administration of misoprostol and 60 min after any tachysystole.

Drug: Misoprostol Oral Tablet

DOUBLE BALLOON

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

* Insertion of the DBD as instructed by the manufacturer, removal after 6 hours. * Artificial rupture of membranes (AROM) if suitable + IV oxytocin administration * If AROM cannot be performed- oxytocin infusion will be initiated at first. * If Bishop \<3 after DBD removal, clinical evaluation and lag time before considering other methods for ripening is suitable and is up to the physician on call.
