Brief Summary
Pregnant women at term, after 37 weeks' gestation will undergo cervical ripening for labor induction via cervical ripening balloon. Transvaginal sonography will be performed before balloon insertion. During balloon insertion and after uterine balloon inflation a pressure watch will be attached to the balloon and inflation pressures of the vaginal balloon will be measured and documented.

Conditions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Volume versus pressure
To define pressure versus volume characteristics of the expanding uterine cervical balloon.
From patient admission up to 24 hours postpartum.
Interventions
Measurement of cervical length via transvaginal sonography prior to labor induction.
Measurement of inflation pressure in a cervical ripening balloon is PSI units.
Eligibility Criteria
Pregnant women between 24-42 weeks gestation that are candidates for labor induction with a cervical ripening balloon.
You may qualify if:
- Obstetrical or medical indication for induction of labor
- Unfavorable cervix
- Gestational age between 24 - 42 weeks
- Singleton pregnancy
You may not qualify if:
- Any contraindication for vaginal delivery
- Rupture of membranes
- Fetal malformations incompatible with life
- Amnionitis
- Genital viral infection (HIV, HCV, HBV)
