A woman's childbirth care choices have a profound effect on her
pregnancy and childbirth experience. Today, some pregnant women
have three different options to choose from: obstetrical care and a
hospital birth, a midwife-assisted birth in a hospital, and a
midwife-assisted birth at an out-of-hospital birthing center. By
using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, this
volume examines how and why 200 women made their choices, how
satisfied they were with the care they received, and the impact of
their choices on the availability of options in the future.
Although most women in the U.S. still choose an obstetrician and a
hospital setting, the number of women who choose to be assisted by
a Certified Nurse Midwife is growing, with the result that this
profession is acquiring new strength and jurisdiction over
childbirth care.
