In 2018, the World Health Organization (WHO) launched a set of intrapartum care recommendations for a positive birth experience through a holistic and human rights-based approach. These recommendations are considered a model of health care during childbirth that considers the complexity and heterogeneity of healthcare systems and practices, reducing unnecessary interventions during labor and delivery. 1 Women's perception of empowerment for childbirth may result from a positive experience influenced by the preparation, coping, and support provided by midwives and companions. The positive childbirth experience plays an important role in women's self-efficacy and self-esteem, as well as in their ability to improve health, which requires cooperation and effort from individuals, families, the educational system, and the health system. 2 A systematic review with meta-analysis identified successful interventions currently available to create a positive perception of the childbirth experience. The most effective strategies were the support given to women during childbirth and preparation for childbirth with minimal intervention. The review also recommends that pregnant women's emotional support programs be implemented. 3
