Summary
This study looked at 76 pregnant women to see which method—a Foley catheter (a small balloon) or misoprostol (a pill)—works faster for starting labor at full term. The main goal was to measure the time from starting the method to delivering the baby. The results help doctors choose the best option for a smoother delivery.
