Sounds like a good idea…

• Advanced planning

• Convenience

• Delivered by her doctor

• Maternal intolerance to late pregnancy

– Excess edema, backache, indigestion, insomnia

• Prior bad pregnancy

• And, it’s okay right?

What Motivates Some

Obstetricians• Physician convenience

– Guarantee attendance at birth

– Avoid potential scheduling conflicts

– Reduce being woken at night

• … what’s the harm?

– Amnesia due to rare occurrence.

– The NICU can handle it.

• And…

Practice Bulletin, August, 2009

• No elective induction or

elective cesarean delivery

before 39 weeks without

clinical indication.

• Even a mature fetal lung

test result before 39

weeks of gestation, in the

absence of appropriate

clinical circumstances, is

not an indication for

delivery.

Local Assistance for Maternal Health

• Pilot projects to improve the quality of maternity

care at the local level

• Four projects initiated in 2008

– Ventura County goal: improve interconception care of

women who were high risk OB (1 year of funding)

– San Diego County goal: improve access to prenatal records

at the time of presentation to hospital for labor and delivery

(1 year of funding)

– Los Angeles County goal: improve response to obstetric

hemorrhage (3 years of funding)

– San Bernardino County goal: reduce the rates of induction

of labor prior to 39 week gestation (4 years of funding)

San Bernardino LAMH Pilot Project

to Reduce Elective Induction Rate

• Project goal: To reduce the rate of non-medically (elective) in the County to near zero by June 30, 2011

• Project components: – Partnered with hospitals, key community stakeholders, and

the community

– Convened two advisory bodies, consisting of medical professionals, community advocates, and health educators

– Developed a curriculum and educational resources to improve community knowledge and awareness about labor induction

• As a core element, the project received data from partner hospitals in order to measure the change in the rate of labor induction – Throughout the term of the project, 13 of 14 hospitals

(93%) have regularly submitted data to the LAMH Project

Impact Assessment

• Toolkit dissemination in California improves the number

of hospitals with polices regarding non-medically

indicated deliveries <39 weeks (from 28% at baseline to 49%

at follow-up)

• SB LAMH data tracking regarding inductions and

augmentations of labor (graph shown previously)

• Tracking statewide induction and augmentation data

based on birth certificate information

– (working with vital stats to improve the quality of data collection

and Santa Clara County is a pilot site for the project with

CMQCC)

• Added a question to 2011 California Maternal Infant

Health Assessment survey regarding induction of labor

Need for a broad campaign

• Patient education component of toolkit: hospitals wanted

more, to change norms outside the hospital.

Advertising

Social media

Publicity

• Goldenberg survey (2009) underscored the need for broader

awareness.

• March of Dimes could build on strong provider and patient

education materials, in use since 2007.

to wait until at least 39 weeks?

- if their pregnancy is healthy.

• Explored a broader focus on letting labor happen

spontaneously.

MOMS’ MIND SET

Exploratory findings

Page 61: A Year of Progress Webinar · Go-to-Webinar technology. • The webinar is in presentation mode and is audible for the presenters only. • There will be a questions and answers period

Delivering early

• Virtually everyone says that she plans to go full term, but

they are often foggy about what, exactly that is.

• Many admit that they know other women who have chosen

to deliver early (and they claim to disapprove of it).

Admitting to desperationHowever, at the end, you're desperate to deliver…

– “Every time I get around five months, all I can think about is „Get out! I want [the

baby] out!‟ I just want it out.” (Mid SES)

– “You get to a point [in pregnancy] where you‟re just exhausted, and you‟re just—

you‟re done…You‟re very uncomfortable.” (Low SES)

– “My kids were only 37 weeks, and I was already having a hard time, so if…my baby

was 39 weeks, I can only imagine—that two weeks can gain, what, a pound? Two

pounds? That‟s a big difference! And it‟s very, very rough for the mom.” (High SES)

– “End of pregnancy is hard!” (Mid SES)

62

Biding time?• They also seem to feel that the baby is doing nothing but

gaining weight at this point…

– “Plenty of babies are born at 36, 37, some babies are even born at 32 weeks, and

they‟re perfectly normal with a little bit of extra care.” (High SES)

– “I think all women want a healthy baby, but they are also…under the impression

that at 38 weeks, you‟re gonna have a healthy baby if you‟re induced or whatnot.

This is new to me, all this. I was always under the impression that if I gave birth

today, my baby‟s 100% developed.” (High SES)

– “Even if [babies] come at 35 weeks, supposedly they‟re all developed.” (High SES)

– “You think when you‟re between 36 and 40 weeks that you‟re okay [to give birth].”

(Low SES)

– “Even at 38 I don‟t think I‟d be nervous because you know, I think brain

development, lung development at that point is fine.” (Mid SES)

– “I thought inducing was better because the quicker I guess you know, the more you

get towards your due date you wanna hurry up and get the baby out of there. But I

didn‟t know the babies were suffering from it.” (Low SES)

Trust in doctors

• Most believe that doctors know best, and don’t question

their intentions…

– “If the doctor told me I had to be induced I‟d go along with it.” (Low SES)

– “I don‟t think any doctor is gonna say, „hey, you know what? I‟m going on vacation

next week. Do you want to induce?‟ You know, like I don‟t think that the doctor

would bring it to you; it would be you, bringing it to the doctor.” (High SES)

– “I had a friend who didn‟t want a C-section and the doctor came in and said you‟re

not progressing. She didn‟t even push, her water didn‟t break but they gave her a

C-section. She was very upset about it but again, if your doctor tells you and I

guess, first time, you go along with it.” (Low SES)

– “I would want to see a doctor saying a message like [the 39 weeks campaign]. That

would cause pregnant women to look at the [ads] more, because it‟s a doctor and he

knows better, and he knows what he‟s saying.” (High SES)

Even though many say they're "against"

early delivery, there's an awful lot going

on beneath the surface that makes them

"easily persuadable" to deliver early…

MESSAGING THAT WORKS

Exploratory findings

66

Page 67: A Year of Progress Webinar · Go-to-Webinar technology. • The webinar is in presentation mode and is audible for the presenters only. • There will be a questions and answers period

Specifics about the baby matter

Moms want to know the specific consequences of

not waiting, for the baby

• Brain size

• Brain weight

• Brain, eyes, and lungs.

Balance mom and baby

While the well-being of the baby is the “tipping

point” in encouraging Moms to go the distance,

acknowledging what she’s about – and what she’s

going through – is not a bad idea, either

– If only in the form of a really BIG belly

Balance inviting with serious

Something fun and engaging will draw Moms in,

but they soon need to understand serious and

specific consequences to elective early birth in

order to be persuaded.

Tell the bigger story

• While “39” can play a role in the messaging, making it the

message distracts Moms and encourages quibbling

• The larger, and more resonant story is about sacrifice,

waiting, and letting nature take its course…a narrative that

feels intuitively right to women

– Healthy Babies are Worth the Wait

– Wait for labor to begin on its own.

Don’t write off babies

While women want to know the

immediate, specific consequences, they

are enormously resistant to the idea that

the baby’s life/prospects will be pre-

determined by an early birth

– And they are very sensitive to feeling “blamed”

for that

• “If your pregnancy is healthy” is a key phrase in this

regard
