Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the experience of labor in parous women induced because of fear of labor and, to compare the experience of parous women induced without fear of labor. A comparison with the experience of women delivered with elective cesarean section because of fear of labor is done.
In the induced labors, the induction method is amniotomy. Between groups the experience of delivery is evaluated with a questionnaire: Wijma Delivery Expectancy Questionnaire(WEDQ-B).
Groups are also compared with regard to time from induction to delivery and rate of operative delivery.
Hypotheses:
- there is no difference in experience of delivery
- there is no difference in time to delivery or rate of operative deliveries
