Description
Secondary consequences:1. The frequency of cesarean delivery and its causes (measurement period: from the beginning of induction to the end of the study (throughout the study) - variable measurement method: being monitored by a gynecologist throughout the study)2. Neonatal outcomes including the average Apgar score of the first minute and the fifth minute (measuring periods: the first and fifth minutes after the birth of the baby - variable measurement method: it includes five components: 1) color, 2) heart rate, 3) reflexes, 4) muscle tone, and 5) respiration, each of which is scored 0, 1, or 2).3. The frequency of hospitalization of newborns in the intensive care unit (measurement periods: after the birth of the baby - variable measurement method: newborn visits by gynecologists)

Description
First, NST to evaluate fetal heart rate and TOCO to check uterine contractions as well as preliminary tests are taken from pregnant mothers. All patients undergo vaginal examination by the researcher and their urine and cervical dilatation scores are recorded. Then the demographic and clinical information of the patients including age, BMI, gestational age and sex of the fetus will be collected based on the checklist (Appendix 1). The mother's vital signs including heart rate, blood pressure, breathing rate and body temperature are checked and recorded in the medical record. After determining cervical dilatation, pregnant mothers are divided into 4 groups including two control groups, one latent phase group and one active phase group based on random blocks of 4. 1) Mothers in the latent phase control group who have dilation below 5 cm are treated with routine pregnancy induction drugs (misoprostol manufactured by Samisaz company 50 micrograms orally every 3 to 6 hours and normal saline 2 cc intravenously) and are subjected to vaginal examinations in the course of labor. When the mother enters the active phase, based on uterine contractions in the case of hypotonia, treated with intravenous oxytocin (half a milliunit per minute - manufactured by Caspian Company - until optimal uterine contractions are reached Mothers in the control group with the active phase, if they have a dilatation of more than 6 cm, if necessary (in case of hypotonia), are treated with intravenous oxytocin (according to the protocol mentioned above) and intravenous normal saline. 2 cc is placed until the desired uterine contractions are reached for delivery. 2) Pregnant mothers in the latent phase group are treated with intravenous dexamethasone at a dose of 8 mg (manufactured by Kimia Daru Company) and routine labor induction drugs (misoprostol orally 50 micrograms each 3 to 6 hours or EASI) until they reach the active phase, after entering the active phase, in case of hypotonia, they are treated with intravenous oxytocin (according to the protocol mentioned above) until they reach the optimal uterine contractions for delivery. take 3) Pregnant mothers in the active FAR group, who were initially treated with misoprostol or mechanical method, and who have reached 5-6 cm dilation, are treated with intravenous dexamethasone at a dose of 8 mg (manufactured by Kimia Daru Company) and, if necessary, oxytocin. IV is placed (according to the protocol mentioned above) until optimal uterine contractions are reached for delivery. It should be noted that during the course of labor, the mother's vital signs will be regularly checked by medical personnel according to the protocol and recorded in the file. In the event of any possible side effect or threat to the health of the mother and fetus, the treatment process is stopped and necessary measures are taken depending on the condition of the mother. During the study, the following outcomes will be evaluated, and after the birth of the baby, the baby's weight will be measured with a scale and recorded in the checklist (Appendix 1).
