We aimed to assess the experiences and attitudes among women managed with serial antenatal monitoring or induction of labor, and the effects of post\u2010term pregnancy on self\u2010reports of quality of life.\n                    <jats:italic>Methods.<\/jats:italic>\n                    Women were randomized at 41weeks to immediate induction of labor or antenatal fetal surveillance every third day. At inclusion women answered a questionnaire about their attitudes towards post\u2010term pregnancy and health\u2010related quality of life. This was repeated in a follow\u2010up phone interview 6months later, including questions about their experiences of labor and perspective on future deliveries.\n                    <jats:italic>Results.<\/jats:italic>\n                    A total of 508women entered the study. At 41weeks 74% of all women preferred to be induced. Women reported good general and mental health, but physical health and vitality scores were low. In the induction group, 74% of women said they would prefer the same management in future pregnancies; only 38% of women who had serial antenatal monitoring would prefer this option again (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt;0.001). In the induction group, contractions were reported as more intense (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 157 versus\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 118,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt;0.01) and frequent (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 116 versus\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 87,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt;0.01) compared to the monitored group.

Labors were shorter and contractions were reported to be more frequent and intense in the induction group compared with the monitored group.
