The influence of women's fear, attitudes and beliefs of childbirth on mode and experience of birth

Huh..
Interesting study of the title above -- comparing women's attitudes towards birth with birthing outcomes and experiences.

http://7thspace.com/headlines/415452/the_influence_of_womens_fear_attitudes_and_beliefsof_childbirth_on_mode_and_experience_of_birth.html

 "Conclusions: In this study three clusters of women were identified. Belonging to the 'Fearful'cluster had a negative effect on women's emotional health during pregnancy and increased the likelihoodof a negative birth experience. Both women in the 'Take it as it comes'and the 'Fearful'cluster had higher odds of having an elective caesarean compared to women in the 'Selfdeterminers'. Understanding women's attitudes and level of fear may help midwives anddoctors to tailor their interactions with women."

    A self-confessed birth junkie, I love all things birth and breastfeeding.. I'm so lucky to be able to work with expectant families and share this very special time in their lives with them :)
