Study Summary
Induction of labor is a process of stimulating uterine contractions before the onset of labor, with a goal of achieving vaginal birth. The cervix (the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina) must dilate (open) in order to allow passage of the baby into the vagina and through the birth canal. A process called "cervical ripening" is often performed prior to labor induction to prepare the cervix for labor and therefore shorten the length of the labor. There are various pharmacologic and mechanical methods of cervical ripening that result in the physical softening and distensibility of the cervix. Mechanical dilation with a small balloon (i.e. a Foley catheter) placed in the cervix is one of the most commonly used, safe, inexpensive, and effective methods to achieve cervical ripening. In most hospitals, cervical ripening is performed in the hospitals; however, some hospitals allow women to undergo cervical ripening at home with a transcervical Foley catheter. The goal of this study is to compare the use of a Foley catheter for cervical ripening in the inpatient (in-hospital) and outpatient (at home) settings. We anticipate that outpatient use will lead to a shorter amount of time that a woman spends in the hospital, decreased cost, and good patient satisfaction.
