What women want and why. Women's preferences for induction of labour or expectant management in late-term pregnancy.

CONCLUSION: Women's preference for induction of labour or a policy of expectant management in late-term pregnancy is influenced by anxiety, quality of life problems (induction), the presence of a wish for natural birth (expectant management), and a variety of additional reasons. This variation in preferences and motivations suggests that there is room for shared decision making in the management of late-term pregnancy. PMID: 32444268 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
