This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effectiveness of nitrous oxide versus oxygen in facilitating the successful placement of a Foley balloon catheter for cervical ripening and induction of labor.
The goal of this randomized control trial is to compare outpatient transcervical foley balloon to inpatient vaginal misoprostol in pregnant women for cervical ripening. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does outpatient transcervical foley balloon decreased the time from admission to delivery compared to inpatient vaginal misoprostol 2. Does outpatient transcervical foley balloon will increase risk of c-section during induction of labor compared to inpatient vaginal misoprostol Participants will be randomized to either the outpatient transcervical foley balloon group or to the inpatient intravaginal misoprostol group. The researchers will compare if outpatient transcervical foley balloon decreases the tie from hospital admission to delivery of the baby.
