About this trial
An increasing proportion of patients undergo labor induction at the end of pregnancy. Balloon induction at home is a method validated in the literature.
Home-based balloon induction is already part of routine care at the Paule de Viguier maternity unit. However, a prospective evaluation of this home induction option has not yet been conducted at our facility or elsewhere in France.
Our study will evaluate obstetric outcomes and patient satisfaction regarding this induction method at our center.
This is an observational, non-interventional, prospective, and comparative-though non-randomized-study.
