-
PGE2 then oxytocin versus oxytocin for starting labor after your water breaks at term.
This test will see whether giving a 6-hour vaginal dinoprostone (PGE2) insert before oxytocin or starting oxytocin right away works better for women 18 and older with a single baby whose water breaks at 37–42 weeks and whose cervix isn't ready.
-
Serial membrane sweeping to encourage spontaneous labor at term
This trial will try serial membrane sweeping in people with low-risk, singleton pregnancies at term to see if it makes spontaneous labor happen before 41+3 weeks more often than no sweeping.
-
Evaluating membrane stripping for cervical ripening in labor induction
This study tests whether a method called membrane stripping works better than a double balloon catheter for helping women get ready for labor.
-
Comparing oxytocin and prostaglandins for labor induction in women with an unfavorable cervix
This study is testing whether using oxytocin or more prostaglandins is better for inducing labor in women whose cervix isn't ready after 24 hours, to see which option leads to safer deliveries and happier moms.
