Predictors of a positive birth experience in childbirth: A cross-sectional study
Women reported a positive birth experience, and professional support was highly valued. Key predictors of lower scores in birth experience included higher maternal education, caesarean and instrumental deliveries, and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission. Spontaneous labour onset predicted better capacity and safety. Epidural use decreased participation. Midwife-attended births reported better scores on birth experience, highlighting their importance in maternal care.
