"if a woman is booked for prostin induction but has a favourable cervix on the Bishops score (usually a multip i.e has already given birth) then instead of prostin induction you may here the term "she is ARMable" thus meaning they will take her to delivery suite to perform this."

Is this consistent with evidence on whether prostin can be used in women with favourable cervix? (see current NICE guidelines on induction of labour, and consultation draft of NICE guidelines due out in June).

Does the term ARMable imply that ARM is necessary, or merely possible?

What are the implications for labour of induction by ARM (& oxytocin) versus prostin?

Should women have a choice of induction method where there are two possible alternatives?
