Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
In this single-center, prospective observational study, women with low-risk singleton pregnancies between 40+0 and 41+2 weeks of gestation will be recruited at the "Oltretermine" outpatient clinic of Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli, Rome. After providing informed consent, participants who undergo membrane sweeping will be invited to take part in a semi-structured interview within 48-72 hours postpartum during hospital stay.
The primary objective is to describe women's lived experiences of membrane sweeping at term. Secondary objectives include describing women's sociodemographic and obstetric characteristics and their overall birth experience. Data will be analyzed thematically to identify recurring concepts and themes.
This study is independent, non-funded, and will enroll approximately 12-20 women, until data saturation is reached. All procedures comply with the Declaration of Helsinki, GDPR, and national privacy regulations.
