Arm Intervention/treatment
Active Comparator: Oxytocin induction
women in need for induction of labor due to medical indications, will receive continuous IV oxytocin
 Drug: Oxytocin

For low risk group (women at deliveries 1-5):

IV oxytocin 10IU/1000ml standard sol. starting at 2MU/MIN and augmenting 2MU every 20 min.

For high risk group (grandmultiparas [6th delivery and up] or women with a previous cesarean section)

IV oxytocin 5IU/1000ml standard sol. starting at 1MU/MIN augmenting 1MU every 20 MIN - in accordance with the department's protocol

Other Name: Oxytocin for injection 10u/ml Rotex Medica
Active Comparator: Breast Stimultion
nipple stimulation with a breast pump, calibrated at the lowest suction strength,operated alternately: 15 min one breast, 15 min second breast, 15 min rest, till appearance of regular uterine contractions (3 contractions in 10 min). the manipulation will continue for 3 hours of regular contractions.
 Procedure: breast pump nipple stimulation
breast pump calibrated at lowest suction strength, operated alternately: 15 min one breast, 15 min second breast, 15 min rest
