Summary
This study looks at how much women understand about having their labour started with medicine (induction) and how that knowledge affects their birth experience. About 82 pregnant women and 20-30 maternity staff will complete surveys and optional interviews before and after birth. The goal is to improve communication and support for women undergoing induction.
