Abstract

386 pregnant women in 3rd trimester having indications of induction labor were induced with nutritional food. The success rate was 77.92% (301/386) and correlated with the cervical Bishop score. Furthermore the success rate increased significantly in term with premature rupture of the membrane (90.54%). This method, which was found to be safe and effective can significantly shorten the first and total stage of labor.
