Women who were married (odds ratios [OR]\u2009=\u20091.8, 95% confidence intervals [CI] 1.2\u20132.9), felt pressure from a provider for IOL (OR\u2009=\u20093.5, 95% CI 2.0\u20136.2), and whose provider was concerned about the size of the baby (OR\u2009=\u20091.9, 95% CI 1.2\u20132.9) were significantly more likely to undergo IOL. Nearly 30% of primiparous women who underwent IOL at term had a cesarean delivery (CD). Among the induced women, those who were overweight\/obese (OR\u2009=\u20094.9, 95% CI 2.5\u201310.0), felt pressure from a provider for CD (OR\u2009=\u20098.6, 95% CI 3.5\u201321.2), and whose provider suspected the baby might be getting large near end of pregnancy (OR\u2009=\u20092.7, 95% CI 1.1\u20137.0) were significantly more likely to have CD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this study, nearly half of the primiparous women with term deliveries underwent IOL, with a sizeable proportion reporting subjective reasons for induction.
