Abstract
A double-blind randomized controlled trial was carried out to determine if ethinyloestradiol applied extra-amniotically would ripen the unfavourable cervix at term. Twenty five multiparas were given 150 mg ethinyloestradiol gel while 25 multiparas were given gel alone. There was no difference between the ethinyloestradiol and control groups in either mean change of Bishop score or the induction-to-delivery interval.Keywords
