Pay attention.

High-quality systematic review finds no value to "admission strip" CTG.... "Routine admission CTG in low-risk term pregnancies demonstrated no improvement in maternal or neonatal outcomes... These findings support current recommendations favouring IA [Intermittent auscultation] over routine admission CTG in low-risk pregnancies..."

And here we are again...the holidays. They are NOT a reason for induction.

This is called a Foley Bulb induction. Have you had this done before? Did it work? Was it uncomfortable?

A Foley bulb is a catheter with a small balloon at the end.

It’s inserted through the cervix and inflated with saline to apply pressure.

This pressure helps the cervix soften and dilate, often to 3–5 cm.

It’s commonly used when the cervix is closed, thick, or not yet ready for labor.
