Quality of Life After Cervical Ripening

Women's experience of childbirth differs with type of labor, mode of delivery and parity. Induction of labor (IOL) is associated with lower satisfaction of women than spontaneous labor.

A Nigerian study of 252 women with induced labor, irrespective of parity and device used for IOL and a French cohort study of 3042 women with IOL have been published. Theses latter identified several determinants of maternal dissatisfaction.

However, no published study has reported the assessment of quality of life of women at long term after cervical ripening according to the device required for cervical ripening.

The aim of this study is to characterize the quality of life of women after cervical ripening according to parity and device required, and to assess possible factors associated with this quality of life at long-term after delivery.
