    The Bishop score is a method for assessing cervical status prior to labor induction. It assigns numerical values to factors like cervical position, consistency, effacement, dilation, and baby's station, with a total score of 9 or higher indicating a greater likelihood of successful induction for a first-time mom or 5 or higher for subsequent births. While the score helps determine suitability for induction, it does not predict whether induction will actually work in a given case. To calculate one's own Bishop score, a patient would need to obtain details on their cervical exam from their provider before the exam is done.

    BISHOP SCORE

    Cervical Status Numerical Scoring


    0 1 2 3
    Position Posterior Mid-position Anterior ---
    Consistency Firm Medium Soft ---
    Effacement
    0-30 % 40 - 50 % 60 - 70 % >80 %
    (%)
    Dilation (cm) Closed 1 - 2 cm 3 - 4 cm >5 cm
    Station -3 -2 -1 +1, +2

    Generally speaking, a total score of 9 or greater indicates greater likelihood of a successful induction for a first
    time mom, greater than 5 for a second time mom. It does not predict in any way whether an induction will in
    fact work or not, it is merely a tool (one of many) used to help determine if induction is an appropriate choice.

    You would most likely need to ask your OB or Midwife for all of the answers to the cervical indicators (what
    is my cervical position, consistency, percentage of effacement, dilation, and the baby’s station) BEFORE
    having a cervical exam so you can figure out for yourself what your score would be. You could of course also
    ask them what your score is, but they don’t always assess every aspect closely when doing a vaginal exam.
