Had you had a previous miscarriage? I think P is for parity (how many babies you have had) and G is for gravidity (pregnancies). Might have them around the wrong way. First pregnancy you are a primapara, after that a multipara. Something like that anyway... Not sure on the first one and prob not much help with the second!
This is the table used to determine how successful an induction of labour might be. It is recommended that the Bishop's Score by greater than 9 for it to be successful.
To ensure your own induction's success rate, inquire about your Bishop's score or better yet learn each part of the score and figure it out for yourself. The unfortunate reality I have seen lately is inductions with scores as low as 2 which makes induction very difficult and success rates low. Induction with low Bishops scores decreases a woman's coping ability with the increased pain of induction and the increased length of labour. This can be combined with AROM (artificial rupture of membranes) to supposedly increase the success rate early in the induction, but in fact this far too often leads to cesarean births as ruptured membranes increases the chance of infection for both mother and baby. Make informed decisions for both you and your baby!
Score considers:
Cervix
Position
Consistency
Effacement (%)
Dilation (cm)
Baby's Station
