Abstract
(Anaesthesia. 2019;74:1101–1111) Women in labor often need to make important medical decisions quickly, and experiencing a lack of control or undergoing unplanned procedures can contribute to a negative birth experience. While laboring women are capable of discussing treatment options and making these decisions, information regarding anesthetic care should ideally be given to patients well before these decisions must be made.

Only 31% were aware of the National Health Service’s information for parents Web site. This large multicenter study examined the provision of anesthesia information to pregnant women in London hospitals.
