Summary

Induced labour is a medical intervention designed to initiate or accelerate the childbirth process when clinically indicated.

Induced labour concerns 25.8% of pregnant women in France, according to the latest National Perinatal Survey 2021. This rate is rising steadily, since in 2016 induction concerned 22% of pregnancies. There are many medical indications for induction, both maternal and foetal. Induced labour in hospitals is beginning to reach its limits, given the reduction in the number of nursing staff and the reduction in the number of beds available. In some cases, patients are hospitalised for 24 to 72 hours before going into labour. In this context, the place where the birth takes place, whether at home or in hospital, is essential, with a potential impact on patient satisfaction and the experience of induction.

Cervical ripening can be a difficult experience for women, with a feeling of loss of control at this crucial stage. The duration of induction is one of the factors that women would like to see changed when asked about the aftermath of induction. The option of inducing at home might seem to improve women's experience and reduce the length of their stay in hospital.
