Results-twenty percent primigravida and 46.7% multigravida delivered without need of oxytocin infusionThough caesarean section rate increased in induction group but there was no stastically significant difference in neonatal outcome. Conclusion-expectant management increase chance of spontaneous labour without affecting neonatal outcome
