Summary
A randomized trial of patients undergoing a term (≥37 weeks) induction of labor with a history of one prior Cesarean delivery, wherein the provider intends to use a Foley catheter for cervical ripening. The investigators will be comparing Foley alone with concurrent Foley and Oxytocin use at the start of the induction. With this trial, the investigators aim to test our central hypothesis that concurrent Foley and Oxytocin will decrease time to delivery without increasing risks, compared to Foley alone.
