Summary

This study tests if a cervical ripening balloon can prepare the cervix for same-day dilation and evacuation (D&E) as well as the usual osmotic dilators. About 70 adults between 18 and 20 weeks pregnant will be randomly assigned to one of the two methods. Researchers will measure procedure length, safety, and patient satisfaction.
