“…Furthermore, maternal anxiety during pregnancy and delivery is associated with an increased risk of interventions and negative birth experience (Ryding et al 1998;Monk et al 2000;Nieminen et al 2009;Johnston and Brown 2013;Nilsson et al 2012;Garthus-Niegel et al 2013). Van Haaren-Ten et al (2012) stated that women's choice for a home birth rather than in hospital is driven by a desire for greater personal autonomy, whereas women's choice for a hospital birth is driven by a desire to feel safe and control risks. Further research regarding personality, anxiety, and depression during pregnancy in obstetrics might explain differences in the preferred location of childbirth within the Dutch obstetric system.…”

Abstract Some caregivers suggest a more positive experience of childbirth when giving birth at home. Since properly developed instruments that assess women's perception of delivery and the early postpartum are missing, the aim of the current study is to develop a Childbirth Perception Scale (CPS). Three focus groups with caregivers, pregnant women, and women who recently gave birth were conducted. Psychometric properties of 23 candidate items derived from the interviews were tested with explorative factor analysis (EFA) (N=495). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed in another sample of women (N=483) and confirmed a 12-item CPS. The EFA in sample I suggested a two-component solution: a subscale 'perception of delivery' (six items) and a subscale 'perception of the first postpartum week' (six items). The CFA in sample II confirmed an adequate model fit and a good internal consistency (α=.82). Multivariate linear regression showed a positive effect of home delivery on perception of delivery in multiparous but not in primiparous women. The 12-item CPS with two dimensions (perception of delivery and perception of first postpartum week) has adequate psychometric properties. In multiparous women, home delivery showed to be independently related to more positive perception of delivery.

“…For instance, "women who want to be involved in decision making may be more likely to choose midwives, who in turn are more likely to offer involvement in decision making" (Bylund, 2005, p. 36). Although the results of the relevant retrospective studies (i.e., Hildingsson et al, 2003;Howell-White, 1997;van Haaren-ten et al, 2012) have been largely congruent with those of the few prospective studies, there still has been a need for a prospective study in a U.S. context in which reasons for normative and nonnormative choices are compared directly. This study fills that gap in the literature.…”

“…The findings presented here were Promoting greater uptake of midwifery care and planned home birth requires first understanding the reasons behind women's care choices, whether normative or not. van Haaren-ten et al, 2012). Some women elected home birth as a way of avoiding pain medication and other medical interventions (Boucher et al, 2009;Hildingsson et al, 2003;Janssen et al, 2009;Murray-Davis et al, 2012;Neuhaus et al, 2002) and/or in response to a previous negative hospital experience (Boucher et al, 2009;Viisainen, 2001).…”

In the few studies in which women reported reasons for selecting the hospital setting, safety was a prime motivator, especially in the event of complications (Hildingsson et al, 2003;Miller & Shriver, 2012;van Haaren-ten et al, 2012). Interestingly, safety also was cited by some of the women who chose planned home birth, suggesting that they conceptualized risk and safety differently than did the women who believed hospitals to be safest (Boucher et al, 2009;Ng & Sinclair, 2002;van Haaren-ten et al, 2012).…”

The objective of this study was to describe nulliparas' reasons for the type of provider (i.e., midwife, physician) and childbirth setting (i.e., home, hospital, hospital-based birth center) that respondents expected for their births. Data were collected via a cross-sectional, descriptive, self-administered, Web-based survey including both close-and open-ended questions and were analyzed using conventional content analysis. Respondents were 220 nulliparous women aged 18-40 years, living in the United States, and pregnant at 20 or fewer weeks' gestation. Women's reasons were categorized broadly as relating to provider/setting attributes, relationship with provider/setting, normative choices, respondent attributes, and practical considerations.Respondents' reasons highlight misconceptions about childbirth care options, especially regarding midwifery and nonhospital settings, which may be addressed by childbirth education.
