Summary
This study tested whether a drug called isosorbide mononitrate, given to help prepare the cervix, could lower the chance of needing a C-section in women whose pregnancies go past 41 weeks. Over 1,400 first-time mothers took part. The goal was to see if this simple outpatient treatment could make labor start more naturally and reduce surgical deliveries.
