      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: The candidates will be allocated into groups in a stratified randomization method (based on the history of parity) with a permutation block of 6 using a randomization list generated by the Sealedenvelope.com website software. The randomly generated sequence will be placed one by one in opaque closed envelopes and after writing the codes on it, it will be given to the third person in the delivery block, and will be opened after the entry of each volunteer and the group of that person will be specified, Blinding description: Study outcomes will be assessed by someone other than the intervention assignor. The information of the three groups will be provided to the statistical analyst in coded form so that they are not aware of the intervention groups.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group with intracervical misoprostol: In this group, 25 micrograms of intracervical misoprostol is prescribed to induce labor. If appropriate contractions are not reached, misoprostol is repeated with the same dose every four hours. This process continues until at least three contractions with adequate strength with a duration between 40-60 seconds occur within ten minutes or four doses of misoprostol are repeated. Intervention 2: Intervention group: Intervention group with sublingual misoprostol: In this group, 25 micrograms of sublingual misoprostol is prescribed to induce labor. If appropriate contractions are not reached, misoprostol is repeated with the same dose every four hours. This process continues until at least three contractions with adequate strength with a duration between 40-60 seconds occur within ten minutes or four doses of misoprostol are repeated. Intervention 3: Intervention group: Intervention group with vaginal misoprostol: In this group, 25 micrograms of vagianl misoprostol is prescribed to induce labor. If appropriate contractions are not reached, misoprostol is repeated with the same dose every four hours. This process continues until at least three contractions with adequate strength with a duration between 40-60 seconds occur within ten minutes or four doses of misoprostol are repeated.</i_freetext>
