Brief summary
Hospital versus home based induction of labour This study aims to find out whether or not it is good practice to permit pregnant women to go home to rest after they have had induction of labour started. The study is important because it will identify potential advantages and disadvantages to this approach, so that women can make properly informed choices about their care.
Interventions
Cervical priming with maternal and fetal monitoring prior to induction of labour in a hospital antenatal assessment area, followed by discharge home for no more than 24 hours of pregnant women - comparison with inpatient management of priming for induction of labour (usual care) of pregnant women.
