“…In Baloch, Iran, the women opted for their home for trusting their own intuition, in their midwife, and in the psychosocial support of their families to transfer them to the hospital in case of any complications. 26 In this study the planned home birth instead of the hospital birth was found to be similar to the results presented in another study that points out that the women seek information in order to make a conscious choice and position themselves against the hospital care model. The listed reasons evidence that the acquisition of knowledge is a basic condition to support the decision of giving birth at home, and reveals a significant dissatisfaction of these women with the current institutionalized model of labor care.…”

Objective: to understand the meaning assigned by couples to the experience of planned home birth supported by the nurse midwives of the Hanami team.Method: qualitative study in the form of convergent care research developed with 30 couples in the southern region of Brazil within the period between October 2011 and November 2012. Data were collected through interview and participant observation. Analysis included four stages: apprehension, synthesis, theorization, and transfer.Results: one core category was identified: Culturally respectful and sensitive delivery, pointing to a parturitive scenario expected by the couple, fueled by the belief that the professionals selected for this moment are able to understand the worldview, beliefs, values, rituals of care, and the meanings assigned to them; and three subcategories: The realization of an ideal, Birth with the family and The option for their home instead of a hospital.Conclusion: the environmental context of a home implies the totality of a singular experience that respects the physical, holistic-ecological, emotional, and cultural dimensions of a couple, bringing up the home as the place of choice for the delivery. The positive experience of the couples makes up the meaning that the planned home birth is an ideal consistent with the lifestyle, beliefs, values, and culture, consisting in a reproductive and sexual right. Home birth is a new chance to interact with the world and people that are part of the support network to couples in the birth process. Resultados: fue identificada una categoría central: El parto culturalmente respetuoso y sensible que apunta para un escenario partutitivo esperado por la pareja, alimentado en la creencia de que los profesionales seleccionados para componer este momento tengan la comprensión de la visión de mundo, de las creencias, de los valores, de los rituales de cuidados y de los significados que le son atribuidos; y por tres subcategorías: la concretización de un ideal, El nacimiento en familia y La elección del domicilio en lugar del hospital. DESCRIPTORS:Conclusión: el domicilio implica la totalidad de una experiencia singular que respeta las dimensiones físicas, holístico-ecológicas, emocionales y culturales de la pareja, de ahí que nazca la elección del mismo para el parto. La experiencia positiva de las parejas concretiza el significado de que el parto domiciliar planeado es un ideal coherente con el estilo de vida, creencias, valores, cultura y se constituye en un derecho reproductivo y sexual. El parto domiciliar es una nueva oportunidad para interactuar con el mundo y con personas que forman parte de la red de apoyo a la pareja en el proceso del nacimiento.

“…In addition, midwife might rush to attain the traditional medical components of care and contain or leave some dimensions of midwifery care to be integrated by other healthcare professionals. As care is transmitted from one care provider to other, necessary components may be lost or left crude, which might lead to permanent injure; whereas, women request to be involved in their labor, especially to have possession of their childbirth, which leads to a potent feeling of manageability and meaningfulness (24).…”

Background: Respect to women's autonomy in vaginal child birth is a key factor of maternity care. Engaging women in decisionmaking in vaginal delivery helps women have a positive experience of delivery. Objectives: In this content analysis of qualitative study we explored experiences of mothers and midwives in women's role in normal vaginal childbirth. Methods: This study was conducted in 2013 -2014 in Iran. Overall 23 women and midwives were evaluated in this study. Data collected from 12 women and 11 midwives via in-depth semi structured interviews. Participants were selected from governmental and private hospitals in Mashhad and Kerman, Iran. Data analysis was performed using conventional content analysis with MAXqda software (version, 2007). Results: Mothers' and midwives' experiences about women's role in vaginal childbirth could be organized and categorized in one theme, referred to "Empowerment of women in vaginal childbirth". This theme consists of two subthemes: "attempts to exhibit self-assertion" and "quest for information" and four categories of compromise with the labor process, cooperation with midwife, finding delivery sources during pregnancy and seeking delivery information in labor. Conclusions: Attention to women active role in vaginal child birth could improve women experience of vaginal delivery.

Women today know more about their developing infant than at any other time in history; however, this has not led to a sense of reassurance. Nurses and midwives have a critical role in assisting pregnant women, and their families make sense of the information they are exposed to. An understanding of the complexities of the concept of risk perception in pregnancy may assist in enabling nurses and midwives to reaffirm the normalcy of pregnancy.
