“…The results of this research are in line with previous research that women can build good relationships with peers or midwives and can get information from various experiences and what can be done by midwives (15). Organizational factors, such as staffing ratios and workload issues, may impede midwives' abilities to build supportive relationships with women (16).…”

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the implementation of pregnant women’s classes in the working area of a community health center of Puskesmas Bulili, South Palu District, Palu City. This type of research used a qualitative method with a case study design. Informants were determined by purposive sampling technique. This research indicates that the midwife conducting the pregnant mother’s class has never attended training for the facilitator, the funds used were from the Health Operational Assistance (In Indonesia known as BOK), the media used by the Maternal and Child Health book (In Indonesia known as KIA book), the carpet, the way of disseminating information through invitations and notices in the mosque; material is done once. Reporting is done once a month. The implementation of the pregnant mothers’ class in the work area of the community health center of Puskesmas Bulili is not yet according to the class guidance for pregnant mother. We expect that the community health center of Puskesmas Bulili will meet every mother more than once, so it is not finished in one meeting and can separate per class of pregnant women according to the age of the pregnancy.

“…Antenatal care in the UK follows the midwife-led model of care, where the organisation of care from booking in to delivery is built around a partnership between midwife and women [36]. This care is based on a supportive and trusting relationship between midwives and the women in their care [37]. Many women in this study reported positive experiences of their antenatal care, but many also reported more negative aspects of care.…”

Women are advised to optimise weight before pregnancy. However, many are either already living with overweight or obesity prior to becoming pregnant, increasing the risks for adverse outcomes. Health care professionals (HCP) are responsible for advising women of risks throughout and following pregnancy. However, midwives often find broaching the conversation around maternal obesity difficult. This study explored the experiences of pregnant women living with obesity in accessing antenatal care. Seventeen women completed a semi-structured interview. Transcripts were analysed thematically. Four themes were developed: 1) antenatal care is inconsistent, 2) additional support is needed, 3) women feel judged about their weight, and 4) weight cycling is highly prevalent. Findings suggest that pregnant women living with obesity often experience weight bias from HCPs, feel judged because of their weight and are left feeling confused and overlooked. Women reported inconsistencies in advice and care offered and acknowledged a lack of continuity of care throughout pregnancy. We call for an urgent need for further multidisciplinary training to address the concerns, experiences and needs of pregnant women living with obesity.

“…Training in intrapartum counseling skills is essential for registered midwives to effectively provide emotional support and promote the health of women and their babies [21]. Although the Better Births Initiative (BBI) standards advocate for a doula or companionship in labor as an evidence-based intervention, the current study revealed that the majority of registered midwives did not recommend women to have their doulas during labor and childbirth [23]. This finding is consistent with another study that noted a lack of encouragement from midwives with respect to the presence of a doula and the integration of cultural and personal preferences during childbirth [24].…”

“…A study examining the experiences of male registered nurses undergoing clinical training in midwifery at a regional hospital in the Eastern Cape discovered that these nurses perceived midwifery as anxiety-inducing, daunting, and diminishing their confidence [22]. On the contrary, the women who participated in these studies were found to exhibit less anxiety, as midwifery is traditionally viewed as a feminine domain [23]. The results revealed that a minority of the respondents had advanced midwifery specialization, while few had basic midwifery qualifications.…”

Midwifery practices are defined as the level of midwifery care in which midwives use their expertise, management, and clinical leadership to provide personalized, evidence-based care to women independently and autonomously. Midwifery care includes antepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum care, which are defined by the WHO as the care provided by skilled healthcare professionals to pregnant women and adolescent girls to ensure the best health conditions for the mother and baby during the antepartum, intrapartum and postpartum period. The aim of this study was to evaluate midwifery practices among registered midwives in selected hospitals in Limpopo Province, South Africa. The quantitative, descriptive, and cross-sectional research design was used to assess and describe midwifery practices among registered midwives in selected hospitals in Limpopo Province, South Africa. The population size was 100 registered midwives in the selected hospitals. The sample size of 80 registered midwives was determined using the Slovin formula. Simple random sampling was used to select the sample. A self-developed questionnaire was tested and validated prior to conducting the main study. The findings of the pilot study were used to refine the questionnaire before being used for the main study. Reliability and validity were ensured. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 27 with the assistance of a statistician. The study revealed inadequate provision of midwifery care during antepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum periods due to lack of resources and equipment. The shortage of midwives and the shorter experience in the clinical setting within the midwifery environment were overwhelming. The study concluded that the practices of registered midwives were inadequate due to some challenges they faced during the provision of midwifery care. Inadequate midwifery practices have serious implications for the health and well-being of mothers and newborns. These practices were influenced by various factors, such as inadequate material and human resources and lack and malfunctioning of available equipment. The study recommended that women have access to a variety of pain relief options during labor, including both pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods. In addition, the study recommended implementation of the presence of doulas during labor and childbirth.
