RESUMEN
Induction of labour is a common obstetric intervention in the UK, occurring in approximately 22 per cent of labours (Birthchoice UK 2014). Much evidence exists regarding methods, efficacy, safety and outcomes, but very little is known about women's experience of induction of labour (National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) 2008). Qualitative interviews were carried out with low risk primigravid women being induced post-maturity. Women expressed fear about the induction process, described their midwife as being their primary source of information and reported that they had sufficient information prior to admission.
