Appendices
Appendix 1: (Information leaflet)
My name is Banyana Madi and I am a midwife, studying for a doctorate at the
University of Surrey. I would like to invite you to participate in my study looking
into how pregnant women make decisions about the most appropriate place of
birth. I will therefore ask those wishing to take part in the study to take me
through the process of how they came to decide on where they would like to
deliver. This might include information about:
Your understanding of the process of labour and delivery
What you think the appropriate management should be
Your knowledge of the options available about possible places of birth
Your source of the information about the available options
Where you thought you would like to deliver when you first discovered you were
pregnant
Whether this has changed at all
Whether you have any prior experience of the place where you want to deliver
What you think is the thing that most influenced your decision
What role your partner has on the decision
Whether you think you have adequate information upon which to make your
choice
Whether you think you made a choice about where you want to deliver or whether
you just followed what most people do
What interests you most about your planned place of birth
What you don't like about the alternative place
