Abstract
Why was this study conducted? Choice of mode of birth (MOB) has been recommended for some years but is still poorly operationalised in routine antenatal care in the UK NHS. This review identified factors underlying women’s MOB preferences and barriers/facilitators to supported MOB decision/making to inform the content of a decision aid to support these conversations. Key findings Previous birth experience (women’s own or family/friends’ experiences) were important in shaping current MOB preference. Healthcare professionals were key in MOB decision-making and should be mindful of their own preferences when supporting women. What does this study add to what is known? Findings will be incorporated into a suite of research to develop a decision aid to support MOB decision-making in routine antenatal care.
