Maternal satisfaction with outpatient balloon catheter versus inpatient prostaglandin induction of labour: A randomised controlled trial in Aotearoa New Zealand
This study demonstrated greater satisfaction among women having outpatient-balloon induction of labour related to more pre-labour support at home and less pain and tiredness during labour. We encourage maternity hospitals to routinely offer outpatient-balloon induction of labour.
