Study Summary
In this study the investigators will be testing the use of the Symphony PLUS® breast pump for nipple stimulation. Typically, breast pumps are used to start breast milk production and collect breast milk in patients after delivering their baby. The device uses cup-shaped pieces called flanges that are placed over the patient's nipples and then a gentle vacuum or suction is applied. The mechanical effect of the suction on the nipple is thought to cause the release of a substance called oxytocin in one's body, which encourages labor and contractions to begin. Some reasons why nipple stimulation might be better than other induction of labor methods are that it allows the patient to have more control over their induction process, it uses the patient's own oxytocin instead of synthetic (or factory-produced) oxytocin, and it may shorten the time that it takes to deliver the baby.
Primary Outcome
The investigators will measure the time between induction of labor initiation and delivery of the baby.
Interventions
- OTHER Electric breast pump for nipple stimulation
- OTHER induction of labor
