AbstractBackground: The majority of women in their reproductive years are in good health, giving birth to healthy babies at term with spontaneous Labor. In situations where the mother, fetus, or both need the pregnancy to end because continuing the pregnancy would be harmful to both the mother and the unborn child, inducing Labor is one option.
Aim and objective: To study the mode of delivery and need of augmentation in women with induced labor as compared to those who go in spontaneous labor.
Methodology: The clinical trial was conducted for period of 2 years in OBGY department of Bharati Vidyapeeth University Pune. 218 pregnant women were included in study and divided into two group A and B. Modes of delivery and need of augmentation data collected, data analysis was done and appropriate statistical tests were applied.
Results: There were 150(68.8%) normal deliveries, followed by 33(15.1%) cesarean sections, 31(14.2%) using vacuum and among 4(1.8%) forceps were used. Out of total 218 augmentation was required in 87 patients (39.9%). Section rate in induced group was 28.44% and in spontaneous group was 1.83%
Conclusion: There were significantly more cesarean sections in induced labor group compared to spontaneous labor group. While rate of normal deliveries was more in spontaneous group than induced. The distribution of forceps deliveries and vacuum deliveries were almost similar in both the groups.
