What is the mechanical method for the Bishop Score

-Foli tip is placed in -inflate the balloon with Normal Saline -nurse tugs on it, which puts pressure on the cervix -when it eventually falls out, the pt is probably 3 cm

-IV fluids are given -cover the abdomen with ultrasound jell -manually move baby

Risks for inductions

-Tachysystole uterine activity -uterine rupture -maternal water intoxication -chorioamnionitis -increase risk for c-section
