Premature rupture of membranes (PROM) was the major indication for induction in 44(56%) of the 79 women who induced. Reviewing the relevant literature, PROM is found to be second to post term gestation when considering indications for induction of labor in monofetal and as well as twin gestation [24-27]. Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy have not been reported in similar studies as indications but 22.78% (18 cases)of inductions in this series were due to pre-eclampsia and eclampsia.
