Midwives have previously reported concerns about discussing and referring obese pregnant women to weight management services, with some women stating that this referral can be upsetting. The current study interviewed obese women who had declined a weight management service during pregnancy to explore if it was the referral process that made them decline the service. Fifteen women participated and reported that being informed about and referred to a service by their midwife was acceptable to them. Participants also mentioned they would expect this information from their midwife. No participants reported being upset by this referral.
助产士之前曾报告过对讨论和将肥胖孕妇转介到体重管理服务的担忧，一些女性表示，这种转介可能会令人不安。本研究采访了一些在怀孕期间拒绝体重管理服务的肥胖女性，以探讨是否是转介过程导致她们拒绝了该服务。15 名女性参与了研究并报告说，被助产士告知并转介到服务机构是可以接受的。参与者还提到，他们希望从中得到助产士的信息。没有参与者报告对这种转介感到不安。
