What does it mean to have birth satisfaction?
In a recent study, Spanish researchers have set out to assess a mothers satisfaction level in terms of labour and childbirth. The research concluded that the main factors that influenced satisfaction levels were:- Vaginal Birth without epidural
- Presence of a family member for birth support
- Positive attitude of healthcare professionals
- Early Breastfeeding (within 24 hours of birth)
Breastfeeding
The principal author of this study is the University of Granada’s Professor of Nursing, Maria Jose Aguilar Cordero. She explains what the research means in terms of breastfeeding:“the mother being happy or not during birth is related to the duration of breast-feeding. There is a greater percentage of mothers who are still breast-feeding after 3 months if they have been happy with the birth, compared to other mothers who were less satisfied with their delivery”.
