Summary
This study is designed to determine if an intracervical balloon catheter (IBC) is better than oxytocin for induction of labor in the setting of premature rupture of membranes (PROM) or breaking the bag of water prior to onset of labor. The investigators suspect that an intracervical balloon catheter will shorten the time interval from initiation of induction of labor to delivery.
