Background: Medical abortion after 12 gestational weeks often requires a stay in hospital. We hypothesised that administering the first misoprostol dose at home could increase day-care procedures as compared with overnight care procedures, shorten inpatient stays, and improve patient satisfaction.
Methods: This multicentre, open-label, randomised controlled trial was done at six hospitals in Sweden.
Introduction: Postnatal perineal pain is prevalent following childbirth and can impact women both physically and emotionally. The aim of the study was to study the effect of collegial midwifery assistance on perineal pain and pain medication 1 month after birth and to investigate the associations between the type of tear and perineal pain, satisfaction with healing, and resumption of intercourse.
Material And Methods: A follow-up questionnaire was sent 1 month postpartum to women with a first spontaneous vaginal birth participating in a randomized controlled trial (Oneplus trial).
Objective: To compare experiences of the second stage of labour in women randomised to assistance by one or by two midwives to reduce severe perineal trauma (SPT).
Design: Analysis of a secondary outcome within the Swedish Oneplus multicentre randomised trial.
Setting: Five obstetric units in Sweden between December 2018 and March 2020.
Objectives: To study informed consent to midwifery practices and interventions during the second stage of labor and to investigate the association between informed consent and experiences of these practices and interventions and women's experiences of the second stage of labor.
Methods: This study uses an observational design with data from a follow-up questionnaire sent to women one month after giving birth spontaneously in the Oneplus trial, a study aimed at evaluating collegial midwifery assistance to reduce severe perineal trauma. The trial was conducted between 2018-2020 at five Swedish maternity wards and trial registered at clinicaltrials.
