Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: Foley balloonExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
A Foley balloon will be inserted for cervical preparation and filled to 30mL of water or saline. The balloon will stay in until the next day prior to their procedure, or earlier if it falls out on its own.
Group II: Dilapan-SPlacebo Group1 Intervention
A number of Dilapan-S will be inserted for cervical preparation. The number will be determined by a standard protocol that is based on gestational age. The dilators will stay in until the next day prior to their procedure, or earlier if they fall out on their own.
