“Where’s my baby?” A feminist phenomenological study of women experiencing preventable separation from their baby at caesarean birth
Woman-centred care was not evident in the treatment of these women despite the attendance of a midwife at each birth. This research challenges midwives and other health care providers to support and advocate for those birthing by caesarean section to return power and control and support them to remain in close physical contact with their baby immediately after birth.
