Abstract: Labour is one of the difficult journeys for both the mother and the fetus. As the time taken in this difficult journey prolongs, so does the morbidity to both the lives. Hence many methods are practised to cut short the labour stages and one of the safest methods is Artificial rupture of membranes. The aim of this study is to know the significance of Artificial rupture of membranes in shortening the labour process and its effect on the maternal and neonatal outcome. Total of 100 patients, 50 in study and 50 in control group were enrolled in this study and the effect of amniotomy was studied and it was found that there was not much difference in both the groups in the outcome except for the total duration of labour which was found to be less in the study group.
