Intervention(s) planned

Participants will be allocated to two groups by block randomization.

Foley induction will be carried out after obtaining blood for C-reactive protein (CRP) level.

The intervention group will have the foley catheter inserted for 48 hours while the control group will have it inserted for 24 hours.

C-reactive protein level will be repeated 20 hours after removal of Foley catheter

  2. Fetal distress
  3. Placenta praevia
  4. Antepartum haemorrhage
  5. Medical disorders complicating the pregnancy


Primary outcome(s)

1.
  1. Incidence of spontaneous onset of labour following Foley induction

  3. From onset of labour to delivery
  4. From induction of labour to delivery
  5. From induction of labour to delivery
  6. At 1 minute, 5 minutes and 10 minutes after delivery
