Brief Summary
Modification(s)  

This is a prospective randomized controlled trial which will be done in pregnant women at term with no risk factors. Women in the arm randomized to induction with a foleys catheter will be induced with the foleys catheter inflated with 30 ml sterile water. The other group will be induced with foleys catheter inflated with 30 ml sterile water. The end of this foleys catheter will be attached to a 500 gm weight (500ml of 5% dextrose). These women will then be induced with oxytocin after 12 hours of inserting the foleys catheter if they do not have uterine contractions. After informed consent, women will be recruited from labour room and randomized to either of the groups. Data regarding duration of labour, fever, CTG abnormalities, neonatal morbidity etc., will be collected. The data will be analyzed to compare safety and efficacy in both groups.
