    Inducing labor with forewater amniotomy and prostaglandin E2 tablets was successful in over 91% of women, with most deliveries within 12 hours. This safe method showed minimal side effects, making it a viable option for labor induction.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Reproductive Medicine

    Background:

    • Labor induction is a common obstetric procedure.
    • Evaluating effective and safe methods for labor induction is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the efficacy and safety of forewater amniotomy combined with oral prostaglandin E2 for labor induction.
    • To determine the induction-to-delivery interval and identify factors influencing it.

    Main Methods:

    • A study involving 153 women with singleton pregnancies.
    • Labor was induced using forewater amniotomy and oral prostaglandin E2 tablets.
    • Pelvic score was assessed as a potential factor.

    Main Results:

    • Successful labor induction was achieved in 91.3% of participants.

  • Over 90% of successfully induced women delivered within 12 hours.
  • No significant harmful side effects were reported; 14.5% experienced minor gastrointestinal issues.

    • Conclusions:

    • Forewater amniotomy and oral prostaglandin E2 is an effective and safe method for labor induction.
    • The combination of these methods results in a high success rate and rapid delivery.
    • Further research may explore the correlation between pelvic score and induction-to-delivery time.
