The aim of this study is to understand and interpret the determinants that lead pregnant women to refer more to a health professional in order to better meet the patient's request.
Pregnancy is a natural phenomenon that occurs without complication in the majority of pregnant women. Pregnancy monitoring is necessary to detect possible complications and improve the comfort and experience of all pregnant women. For several years now, pregnant women have wanted to benefit from pregnancy monitoring as well as a less medical and physiological delivery according to the perinatal plan 2005-2007. Perinatal plans have been implemented and evaluated for over 30 years. Progress has been made in terms of obstetrical and perinatal safety. The latest plan advocates a "humanisation of birth" which leaves more room for the parents' wishes. Pregnancy monitoring is currently carried out by doctors or midwives as part of seven compulsory prenatal examinations. This medical follow-up is completed by a preparation for birth with group classes, based on these general and obstetrical assessments. After declaring their pregnancy, women can consult various health professionals to monitor their pregnancy. The aim of this study is to understand and interpret the determinants that lead pregnant women to be more oriented towards one health professional or another. Each determinant will be analysed and quantified in order to better respond to patient demand. The investigator chose to interview women who had just given birth and not pregnant women because the health professional may change during the course of the pregnancy, and the investigator assumes that the women will have more perspective on their experience and their choice once they have given birth.
