There is a need to reverse both of these conditions to initiate labour. Cervix includes a small smooth muscle and mainly connective tissue with collagen as its key component and it must ripen as it becomes soft and pliable. Prostaglandins play a significant role in the process of cervical maturation and labour initiation. Prostagladin E2 intracervical gel contains 0.5 mg of dinoprostone and induces collagen breakdown, dispersion, fluid absorption by stromal tissues and successful cervical maturation for labor induction when applied locally. Materials and Methods: 70 antenatal patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were studied. Group 1 had patients who required a single dose of PGE2 gel and group 2 had patients who required a second dose of PGE2 gel. Results and Observation: Group 1 had 56 patients requiring a single dose of dinoprostone gel and group 2 had 14 patients requiring a second dose of dinoprostone gel for induction. The common indication for induction of labour was postdatism (45.71 %), The mean bishop score at the time of induction was 1.9. The improvement in mean bishops score at 6 and 12 hours in group 2 is just 2 as compared to 7.02 in group 1, The overall mean induction delivery time was 21.45 hours. The incidence of normal delivery was 74.28% and caesarean section rate in our study was 21.45 %. The common complications that occurred were vomiting (7.14%), diarrhea (5.71 %). Conclusion: PGE2 GEL is a safe and effective method for the induction of labour. The success of induction depends upon the cervical status. It increases the chances of a vaginal delivery without increasing maternal and neonatal morbidity&#13;
