The most common indication for IOL was; premature rupture of membrane (49.5%) As for the BMI, over weight and obese women were more likely to underwent failed labor induction (67.7%, 27.3% vs. 66.7%, 24.4% respectively). Eighty five point nine’ present of neonatal had no complication while 6.7% of neonatal had asphyxia. Apgar score at the first and fifth minutes were within the normal leveL It can be concluded that, successful induction outcome was more likely with gestational age between 37 weeks to less than 40 weeks.
