Summary

Nowadays, more and more women embark on pregnancy with previous Caesarean scar. One in five pregnancies requires induction of labour. The use of non-pharmacological methods (methods without using medication) has been gaining popularity for women who are not good candidates, such as women with previous Caesarean scar, for induction with medications such as prostaglandin. Labour induction with prostaglandin carries a higher risk of uterine rupture and thus it is not routinely offered to women with previous Caesarean delivery in Cairo University Hospital. Non-pharmacological methods of induction of labour appear to be safe in women with previous Caesarean delivery. However, various methods are available and the efficacy among them remain in doubt.
