Summary

This study compares two common labor-inducing drugs, misoprostol and pitocin, in 300 pregnant people with a BMI of 30 or higher. Both drugs are given along with a balloon catheter. The goal is to see which drug leads to a faster delivery and whether it increases the chance of a vaginal birth instead of a C-section.
