Childbirth is a significant and memorable life event for a woman and her family. Women’s experiences of birth have both short- and long-term effects on their health and well-being for both themselves and their infants. As stated by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2018, the primary outcome for all pregnant women is to have a "positive childbirth experience." This includes giving birth to a healthy baby in a conducive, safe environment with continuity of care provided by kind, competent maternity care professionals.
