Intervention  Oral Mifepristone 200mg   Patients who fit in the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be consented to take part in the study. Non stress test will be performed prior to Induction. Patients with non reactive NST will be excluded from the study. Oral Mifepristone 200mg will be given after a per-vaginal examination has been done. Patient will be sent home and asked to come back for admission after 48 hours or earlier if onset of labour sets in. Danger signs will be explained to the patient and will be asked to review before 48 hours if she has regular pain / leaking or bleeding per-vaginum or decreased fetal movements

Brief Summary   Induction of labour is indicated for various reasons (maternal and foetal). A successful vaginal delivery requires the presence of a favourable cervix and hence before any method of induction, cervical assessment is essential. Mifeprstone (RU 486) is a steroid that has antiprogesterone properties. The most commonly approved  indications for use of Mifepristone in obstetrics are termination of early pregnancy, labour induction in case of foetal death in uterus. It causes softening and dilatation of the cervix and also results in an increase in uterine cavity. This effect, observed in various clinical studies reduced the doses of prostaglandins needed, and shortened the time necessary for expulsion of foetus in termination of pregnancies. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a single dose of mifepristone for cervical ripening and induction of labour at term. 
Those women more than 40 weeks and planned for induction of labour who consent to the study will be given one dose of Oral Mifepristone (200mg) 48 hours prior to the date of induction of labour. NST will be taken and the patient will be sent home. They will be adviced to come back for routine induction after 48 hours or earlier if they have spontaneous pain, leaking PV or decreased foetal movements. A re- assessment per vaginal examination will be done after 48 hours or earlier if the onset of labour has taken place. 
The primary outcome will be to calculate the rate of vaginal delivery and improvement in Bishop’s score after 48 hours or earlier if onset of labour has taken place. 
The secondary outcomes will be to assess the need for augmentation with oxytocin, number of patients who needed misoprostol for induction, number of doses of misoprostol required, intrapartum complications such as hyperstimulation and other CTG abnormalities. Foetal complications such as APGAR score at 5 and 10 minutes, meconium aspiration, low cord pH and NICU admissions.
