‘It's something you have to put up with’—service users’ experiences of <i>in utero</i> transfer: a qualitative study

Abstract

The experience of IUT for service users could be enhanced by ensuring that they are better informed about the process and the circumstances that necessitate displacement, that they are better informed about the hospital to which they are being transferred, and that they are transferred as close to home as possible. Efforts to minimise the emotional and socio-economic impact of IUT on women and their families also need to be considered.
