Abstract

Background: In modern obstetrics, inducing labor is a routine practice. The National Centre for Health Statistics' data show that over the past ten years. The reasons behind this increase in the induction rate are intricate and multifaceted. The majority of the signs for induction of labor have not changed. Methods: Cross-sectional comparative research in a hospital. There were two groups in the research population. In spontaneous labor, 100 primigravidae women at term were admitted to MGMH. 100 ladies were admitted for labor induction. The research was carried out in the Modern Government Maternity Hospital in Petlaburj, India. This research was carried out between October 2020 and October 2022. Results: To the best of our knowledge, this is one of the first studies to compare the outcomes for mothers and newborns in primigravida who underwent both induced and natural labor. The study's key strength is the inclusion of a sufficient number of pregnant women in a representative sample, which boosted the study's power and made it more generalizable to settings with similar conditions. The chance of errors was decreased by using specialized software for data collecting and processing. Conclusion: This can be accomplished by carefully assessing the maternal and fetal conditions and validating the pertinent indicators. Additionally, proactive planning and diligent monitoring should be used to lower the number of induced labor women who need to be admitted to the NICU.
