Summary

This study tests whether the drug mifepristone can safely and effectively start labor in pregnant women at home, reducing the need for hospital admission. About 400 women with a full-term, single baby and an unripe cervix will take the pill and be monitored. The goal is to see if more women go into labor within two days, improving comfort and lowering healthcare costs.
