Study Summary
Study Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal method for induction of labor in multiparous women who present with an unfavorable cervix. Hypothesis: Our hypothesis is that using oxytocin while the cervical ripening balloon is in place will result in more rapid labor courses, without increasing morbidity or increasing the need for operative delivery.
