BMI Body Mass Index, C/S Cesarean Section, IOL Induction of labor, NVD Normal vaginal delivery, SD Standard Deviation. *Time intervals between IOL and cervical dilations (to 4 cm and then to 10 cm) are only measured for patients who had vaginal delivery. In patients who had inadequate progression of cervical dilation, C/S was performed
