Summary
This study compares three common methods to start labor in full-term pregnant women whose cervix is not ready yet: a slow-release insert (Propess), a vaginal gel, and a balloon catheter. About 140 women will take part to see which method leads to the fastest delivery. The goal is to help doctors choose the best option for a safe and efficient labor induction.
