To compare clinical outcomes of women attending a birth centre with similar women choosing labour ward birth, we conducted a retrospective cohort study. The 720 birth centre women were more likely to be older, more highly educated and of English-speaking-background than the 2963 labour ward women. Labour was more likely to commence spontaneously in the birth centre group and forceps and caesarean section births were also less likely to occur in this group. A greater proportion of infants of birth centre mothers had higher birth weights when categorised > 75th to 100th percentile. Any form of resuscitation was required less frequently in the birth centre group. Intervention rates in the birth centre were lower than those in the labour ward without any evidence of adverse infant outcomes.

The purpose of this paper is to conduct a critical literature review of the risks associated with induction of labour and a conservative approach to post term pregnancy. The main aim was to establish whether a conservative approach to post term pregnancy is associated with increased rates of perinatal mortality and morbidity, and whether induction of labour reduces these rates. Electronic databases and texts were examined. The findings were that the rates of caesarean section, instrumental birth, use of analgesia, incidence of fetal heart rate abnormality, meconium aspiration syndrome and fetal size were similar in both approaches to care. It appears that perinatal mortality rates increase in post term pregnancy yet the literature varies as to when this increase becomes significant. Induction of labour after 41 weeks gestation reduces the rates of perinatal mortality, however, the amount to which mortality rates are decreased by performing induction of labour at this gestation also varies within the literature. Therefore, it is difficult to given concise dates about when induction of labour should be recommended. Women should be informed of the risks associated with both approaches to care, and based on the review findings, they should be offered induction of labour between 291 days and 294 days, or between 41+4 and 41+7 weeks gestation. However, their preference for either approach should be respected.

For women with complicated pregnancies, pregnancy day stay units and contemporary in-hospital care are less restrictive on their lives and mobility than the traditional antenatal bed rest models of the past. A study, replicating previous work, was undertaken to provide a framework for care of women in these contemporary models of care. A longitudinal phenomenological inquiry during the antenatal period of their complicated pregnancy revealed that waiting is central to the women's experience regardless of model of care. Women with complicated pregnancies are embedded in their own anxiety and surrounded by the anxiety of others. Variation between the two contemporary models of care occurred within three dimensions of the experience — impact on well-being, relationship changes, and disruption to life.
