The woman should give birth in an environment in which she feels nurtured and secure. The woman should have the opportunity of all care options available to her during pregnancy, birth and nurturing of her baby. The unknown provokes anxiety. Therefore, extensive teaching of information about pregnancy, the childbirth process, necessary medical interventions, and nurturing of the baby is vital to the woman. The woman will be supported as an individual, when she makes an informed decision concerning herself or her baby.
Collaboration is the key to an optimal patient care outcome.
