      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Other design features: At the two intervention groups, amniotomy will be done for those with intact amniotic sac. A 500 ml ringer serum will then be administered for all of the participants with a controlled infusion pump. In the group with early oxytocin infusion, 5 IU of oxytocin, and in the group with delayed oxytocin infusion, 1 ml of distilled water will be added to the solution. The infusion will be started with 3 drops/min. Then, 3 drops will be added every 20 min until reaching number of uterine contractions to 3/10 min or reaching number of the droplets to 30/min. The investigators and participants will not be aware of the type of intervention (early or delayed) within the first 3 h. In cases with occurrence of any tachycystol or abnormal cardiotocogram, the serum will immediately be replaced with a plain serum ringer. After the 3 h, the serum will be discontinued in the both early and delayed groups and a re-examination will be done by the investigator. In absence of childbirth or inadequate uterine contractions after the 3 h, 5 IU of oxytocin in 500 ml ringer serum be infused for the delayed group, in the same way mentioned for the early infusion group. The third (control) group will receive routine intervention of the hospital, Randomization description: A stratified (based on the two study sites) block randomization with random block sizes of 3, 6, 9 and allocation ratio of 1:1:1 will be used to assign participants into the three groups; group 1: amniotomy with early oxytocin infusion, group 2: amniotomy with delayed oxytocin infusion, and group 3: hospital routine intervention. The sequence will be generated using a computerized program (Randomizer). To conceal the sequence, consecutively numbered opaque sealed envelopes will be used. The sequence generation and preparation of the envelopes will be done by a person not involved in participant recruitment or data collection.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group 1 (early oxytocin infusion): If the amniotic sac is intact,  amniotomy will be done with an amniotic hook by the investigator. Soon after, 5 IU of oxytocin in 500 ml ringer's solution will be administered by a controlled infusion pump. The infusion will be started with 3 drops/min. Then 3 drops will be added every 20 min until the number of contractions reaches 3/10 min or the number of droplets reaches 30/min. Intervention 2: Intervention group 2 (delayed oxytocin infusion):  If the amniotic sac is intact, amniotomy will be done with an amniotic hook by the investigator. Soon after, a 500 ml plain ringer serum will be administered by a controlled infusion pump. The infusion will be started with 3 drops/min. Then, 3 drops will be added every 20 min. After 3 h, in absence of childbirth or inadequate uterine contractions, 5 IU of oxytocin in 500 ml ringer's solution will be infused with 3 drops/min. Then, 3 drops will be added every 20 min until the number of contractions reaches 3/10 min or the number of droplets reaches 30/min. Intervention 3: Control group: This  group will receive routine intervention of the hospital  that includes: amniotomy, oxytocin infusion, both, or expected management.</i_freetext>
