Indicator 17: Do women make in<strong>for</strong>med decisions about induction of labour 10<br />
<strong>Gold</strong> standard care is defined as women feeling that they made an in<strong>for</strong>med decision to have an induction of labour (that is, the<br />
pros and cons were discussed and they decided from all their available options).<br />
We asked women who had an induction of labour: “Did your maternity care provider(s) discuss with you the pros and cons<br />
(benefits and risks) of being induced and not being induced” and “Who made the decision to induce or not induce you”<br />
The graph displays the percentage of women who said they made an in<strong>for</strong>med decision to have an induction of labour.<br />

What do women say about their care<br />
“Staff are amazing everyone genuinely wants<br />
to help you. Every decision is yours to make<br />
without any pressure but with all the facts.”<br />
“I felt pressured by my OBGYN to be induced<br />
and was not aware that being induced meant<br />
I would be stuck in a bed and hooked up to a<br />
drip”<br />
