Summary
The goal of this randomized trial is to compare two methods of induction in a fetal growth
restriction population. The main question it aims to answer is:
• Is trans-cervical balloon superior to prostaglandins in reducing the cesarean section rate,
without increasing neonatal morbidity? Participants will have an induction of labour by
cervical ripening with trans-cervical balloon in the trans-cervical balloon catheter arm and
with Prostaglandins in the Misoprostol arm.
Researchers will compare two methods of induction: trans-cervical balloon and prostaglandins
to see if trans-cervical balloon is associated with a lower risk of cesarean delivery.
