About This Induction of Labor Affected Fetus / Newborn Study in Newark

A multicenter pragmatic randomized trial of nulliparous women undergoing a term (≥37 weeks) induction of labor wherein the provider intends to use a Foley catheter for cervical ripening. The investigators will be comparing outpatient cervical ripening with a Foley catheter to routine inpatient cervical ripening (Foley +/- other method). With this trial, the investigators aim to test our central hypothesis that outpatient Foley will decrease the primary Cesarean Delivery (CD) rate and risk of maternal/neonatal morbidity compared with inpatient cervical ripening.

Sponsor: University of Pennsylvania
