Brief summary

20% of deliveries take place following an artificial induction of labor. The latter sometimes requires prior cervical ripening, of which the two most widely used methods in France are oral misoprostol and the balloon catheter, left to the discretion of clinicians. The objective of this study is to observe which cervical maturation method patients choose when an artificial induction of labor with an unfavorable cervical status must be carried out, and to observe the patient's criteria as to the choice made, as well as their experience and their satisfaction with artificial induction of labor, in order to improve our clinical practices, the experience of childbirth, and promote patient autonomy.
