CODE 1 Spontaneous Labour commences at the onset of regular uterine contractions, which act to produce progressive cervical dilatation, and is distinct from spurious labour or pre-labour rupture of membranes. Record if prostaglandins were given to induce labour and there is no resulting labour until after 24 hours. CODE 2 Induced Medical and/or surgical procedure performed for the purpose of stimulating and establishing labour in a woman who has not commenced labour spontaneously. CODE 3 No labour Indicates the absence of labour, as in a caesarean section performed before the onset of labour or a failed induction of labour. |

| Guide for use: | This data element should be recorded in conjunction with the data element Birth event—labour induction method, code N when the labour onset type is Code 2 (Induced). This data element should be recorded in conjunction with the Birth event—analgesia administered indicator, yes/no/not stated/inadequately described code N data element when labour onset type is Code 1 (Spontaneous) or Code 2 (Induced). This data element should be recorded in conjunction with the Birth event—type of analgesia administered, code N[N] data element when labour onset type is Code 1 (Spontaneous) or Code 2 (Induced) and the Birth event—analgesia administered indicator, yes/no/not stated/inadequately described code N data element is Code 1 (Yes). This data element should be recorded in conjunction with the Birth event—main indication for induction of labour, code N[N] data element when labour onset type is Code 2 (Induced). This data element should be recorded in conjunction with the Birth event—additional indication for induction of labour, code N[N] data element when labour onset type is Code 2 (Induced), the Birth event—main indication for induction of labour, code N[N] data element is completed, and there is more than one reason for which an induction was performed. |
