Dr. Roopam Priya Rai, Dr. Sapna Bajaj Jain, Dr. Raj Kumar Vishwakarma

Introduction: Although inducing labour to end a pregnancy is ethical and successful, it can occasionally have negative effects on the mother's and fetus's health. Hence, the present study was used to assess the various variables among pregnant women who underwent labour induction. Materials and Method: The present study was conducted among a total number of 179 pregnant women with gestational age more than 28 weeks. The data were collected in a paper-based questionnaire. The questionnaire was approved by the ethical committee before starting data that comprised demographic details, obstetric history, ante- and intrapartum details.The primary outcome was the analysis of various maternal factors associated with the induction of labour among the pregnant women. Results: Out of the 179 participants majority had normal BMI (95.5%) and 3.9% were overweight. Out of the 179 participants included in study majority were not having any comorbid conditions (85%), 9% had hyperthyroidism, 4.5% had gestational diabetes mellitus and 1% had Asthma. 53.6% had the duration of labour for 11-14 hours, 22.9% for 6-10 hours, 15.65% for 15-18 hours and 7.8% for 19-21 hours. The mean and the median duration of labour was 13.02 and 12 hours, respectively. Conclusion: To conclude, induction of labour is safe among term pregnancy irrespective of pregnant women’s age, parity or history of abortion. Induction of labour can be conducted safely among women having antenatal comorbidities viz., diabetes, preeclampsia, and hypothyroidism. Obesity is associated with an increased risk of intrapartum interventions.
