Abstract:
Epidural analgesia has increased in usage dramatically in the United States as a means of comfort for labor pain. Prior studies have connected epidural analgesia to an increase in cesarean birth rate, an increase in use of instrumentation, an increase in length of labor, episiotomy rate, and maternal fever. Epidural analgesia has produced additional costs to the patient and society. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between epidural analgesia during childbirth and childbirth outcomes. The data for this study were obtained from a retrospective patient record review o

Abstract:
Research on knowing in childbirth has largely been a quantitative process. The purpose of this study was to better understand the ways nine, first-time mothers learn about birth. A phenomenological approach using a feminist view was used to analyze two in-depth interviews and journals to understand first time expectant mothers' experiences of knowing in childbirth. The findings demonstrated a range of knowledge that contributed to issues of control, confidence, hope, and conflict. The participants also described an increased dependency on their mothers and a lack of intuition contiguo

The aim of this study was to assess risk factors to PTSD following childbirth incorporating a longitudinal design. Since the introduction of DSM-IV (APA, 1994) there has been an awareness in the literature that women can develop PTSD following childbirth.

The aim of the second study was to investigate the factor structure of a questionnaire measure (PLDQ) that has been used in past studies to assess women's perceptions of labour and delivery.

Abstract:
Introduction: In Western countries, about one pregnant woman in five experiences a considerable fear of childbirth (FOC). Consequently FOC is an important topic for midwives, being pregnant women’s main care givers. Also, although many aspects of FOC have been studied, almost no studies have into detail applied a theoretical frame of reference for studying pregnant women’s expectations for their upcoming labour and delivery. Therefore, the theory of self-efficacy, here regarding pregnant women’s belief in own capability to cope with labour and delivery, has been applied with the aim to better

Abstract:
Childbirth is an emotional and physical experience, which may have permanent or longterm positive or negative consequences. Key predictive factors of traumatic and positive childbirth have been previously identified. Criticisms however have been levied towards the pre-dominantly quantitative-based, pathological focus of the literature. Few empirical studies have examined the positive nature of childbirth. Research has also focused on isolated aspects of the pre, intra and post-partum period, as opposed to women's global perceptions. The need to consult with women who have endured traumatic and

Abstract:
Between 4 and 40% of women will suffer permanent pelvic floor trauma in childbirth. Irreversible damage to the pelvic floor at the time of vaginal birth may take the form of trauma to the levator ani complex or obstetric anal sphincter injury (OASI). Long-term sequelae include pelvic organ prolapse, its recurrence after surgical repair, urinary and fecal incontinence, sexual dysfunction and chronic pelvic pain. Detection rates are poor, especially for levator ani trauma, which is often clinically undetectable at the time of vaginal birth. Translabial ultrasound is an objective method for the d
