Induction of Labour

Brief summary

To compare the use of transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) of cervix to the Bishops score prior to induction of labour in term pregnancies, and the ability to predict Caesarean delivery for failure to progress.

Detailed description

The aim of this prospective study is to compare the use of transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) of cervix to the Bishops score prior to induction of labour in term pregnancies, and the ability to predict Caesarean delivery for failure to progress.
