Summary

This study tests whether adding nipple stimulation to a standard balloon catheter can help ripen the cervix and shorten the time from induction to delivery. About 100 pregnant women at term with an unfavorable cervix will be randomly assigned to receive either the balloon catheter alone or the balloon catheter plus nipple stimulation. The goal is to see if this simple, natural method improves outcomes and satisfaction.
