“…The association between positive appraisal and birth satisfaction could be attributable to underlying coping skills and personality traits that are known to contribute to greater birth satisfaction [ 9 ]. Positive appraisal of pregnancy and the pandemic are likely reflections of optimistic dispositions and adaptive coping mechanisms which are associated with more positive birth experiences [ 44 ].…”

“…Sociodemographic factors such as younger age, lack of social support, and belonging to a socially marginalized group (e.g., racial, ethnic, or sexual minoritized identity, financial insecurity) have been linked to more negative birth experiences. Birth related psychological constructs such as optimism and positive appraisals are associated with greater birth satisfaction [ 9 ]. By and large, the most frequently studied factors related to birth satisfaction are obstetric factors, mainly birth-related factors.…”

Problem Birth satisfaction is an important health outcome that is related to postpartum mood, infant caretaking, and future pregnancy intention. Background The COVID-19 pandemic profoundly affected antenatal care and intrapartum practices that may reduce birth satisfaction. Aim To investigate the extent to which pandemic-related factors predicted lower birth satisfaction. Methods 2,341 women who were recruited prenatally in April-May 2020 and reported a live birth between April-October 2020 were included in the current analysis. Hierarchical linear regression to predict birth satisfaction from well-established predictors of birth satisfaction (step 1) and from pandemic-related factors (step 2) was conducted. Additionally, the indirect associations of pandemic-related stress with birth satisfaction were investigated. Findings The first step of the regression explained 35% of variance in birth satisfaction. In the second step, pandemic-related factors explained an additional 3% of variance in birth satisfaction. Maternal stress about feeling unprepared for birth due to the pandemic and restrictions on companions during birth independently predicted lower birth satisfaction beyond the non-pandemic variables. Pandemic-related unpreparedness stress was associated with more medicalized birth and greater incongruence with birth preference, thus also indirectly influencing birth satisfaction through a mediation process. Discussion Well-established contributors to birth satisfaction remained potent during the pandemic. In addition, maternal stress and restriction on accompaniment to birth were associated with a small but significant reduction in birth satisfaction. Conclusion Study findings suggest that helping women set flexible and reasonable expectations for birth and allowing at least one intrapartum support person can improve birth satisfaction.

“…The type of maternal pushing did not influence neonatal outcomes in this study. This was expected since the apnea duration was lower than what is found in literature, which estimates that 7 to 8 seconds of apnea with high intrathoracic and abdominal pressures can already interfere in uteroplacental oxygen delivery, which can lead to fetal distress [36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43].…”

Objective: to evaluate the efficacy of spontaneous pushing with pursed lips breathing compared to directed pushing during the second period of labor in the occurrence of episiotomy. Methods: this is a quasi-randomized clinical trial, with 62 low-risk pregnant women in the second stage of labor. They were randomly allocated in control (CG) (n = 31) and intervention (IG) (n = 31) groups. The IG performed spontaneous pushing with pursed lips breathing while the CG was oriented to perform directed pushing associated with Valsalva Maneuver (MV). Results: There was no difference between the groups regarding the occurrence of episiotomy (RR 1,1; 95%IC 1,0 to 1,2). However, there was a decrease in the duration of the maternal pushing by 3.2 minutes (MD 3,2; 95%CI 1,4 to 5,1) and a difference in maternal anxiety (Md (IQR) IG 46 (35-52), CG 51 (44-56) p:0,049), both favoring the IG. There was no difference in others maternal and neonatal outcomes Conclusions: spontaneous pushing with pursed lips breathing was effective in reducing the duration of the pushing and showed a difference in maternal anxiety, but did not decrease the occurrence of episiotomy, nor did it alter the other studied maternal and neonatal outcomes.
