Brief Summary  

Induction of labour is an intervention used to achieve vaginal delivery before spontaneous onset of labour.  The objective of the present study to determine the effect of elective induction of labour in low risk nulliparous women on caesarean delivery rates. In this pilot randomized controlled trial a total of 60 women with low risk pregnancy will be randomised into 1:1 ratio aged 18 to 30 years at 38 weeks gestation from Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, RIMS, Ranchi.  The intervention arm will receive Induction protocol at 39 weeks and control arm will receive the expectant management till 41 weeks or when medical indication arises.  Women in both arms follow up will be done from the time of randomisation till discharge from hospital after delivery. Neonates will also be followed from delivery to the time of discharge. The primary outcome of the study will be number of participants with cesarean delivery and secondary outcome will be a composite of neonatal morbidity and perinatal mortality. The study will help to determine the effect of induction of labour for low risk nulliparous women in lowering the caesarean delivery rate.
