Background: Maternal childbirth expectations play an important role in determining a woman's response to her childbirth experience. Women need to be helped to develop realistic and positive expectations and identify the factors that infl uence these expectations. Objective: The aim of this study was to compare woman's expectations and experiences of childbirth. Methods: This descriptive-comparative study was carried out in Tabriz Alzahra Hospital from 2006 to 2007. For this purpose, a total of 600 primiparas and multiparas women who were candidates for vaginal delivery, were randomly selected and interviewed. The data were collected by questionnaire. Results: Comparison of the means of mothers expectation and experience of labor and birth between the two groups demonstrated a statistically signifi cant difference (p<0.05). The fi ndings indicated a number of differences exist between primiparas and multiparas women in relation to expectations and experiences of birth when compare two groups. The majority of women had negative expectations and experiences of childbirth. Conclusion:The evaluation and understanding of birth expectations and experiences as positive and negative is priority of maternity system. Antenatal educators need to ensure that pregnant women are appropriately prepared for what might actually happen to limit this expectation-experience gap. Health-care providers should improve the quality of antenatal care which can change negative childbirth expectations and experiences of women.

“…However, Lewis (1990: 15) argues that 'there has always been a gap between the perceptions and demands of women in respect to maternity policies and practices, and what has been offered by policy-makers and professionals'. Tumblin & Simkin (2001) claim that fulfilling women's expectations about childbirth can increase women's satisfaction with their birth experiences. Proctor (1998) underlines the importance of understanding the concerns and needs of women by midwives.…”

“…Methodologies were variously described as qualitative (n=4) (Berg et al, 1996;Brown et al, 2009;Dahlen et al, 2010;Walker et al, 1995), using a phenomenological (n=1) (Berg et al, 1996) or Grounded Theory approach (n=3) (Brown et al, 2009;Dahlen et al, 2010;Walker et al, 1995). Two authors utilised quantitative methods (Green et al, 1990;Tumblin & Simkin, 2001). …”

“…Walsh (2010) states that childbearing women's experiences of birth are often shaped in the uneasy space between the biomedical model and the more "natural" approach of the midwife. Tumblin & Simkin (2001) surveyed 57 women aiming at determining nulliparous pregnant women's expectations of their nurse's role during labour and delivery in North America. Giving information/instructions was the key finding.…”

Objective. To review the literature around what is considered to be a good midwife and in particular what women value in a midwife, in order to identify the gaps in the evidence for future research. Design. This paper reviews the research in the area of interest over the past 30 years. The literature search focused on the concept of good midwife using synonyms and antonyms. The inclusion criteria included language (English or Italian). The examined databases were Medline, Maternity and Infant Care, Applied Social Sciences Index and Abstract and CINAHL. Setting. Studies conducted in high-income countries were taken into account. A focused review of papers which explicitly investigated what a good midwife means and a thematic analysis on what women value in a midwife were carried out. There is a dearth of information around women's expectations and experiences specifically of a good midwife, and even less around whether this changes according to where they give birth. Implications for practice. This literature review seeks to stimulate debate and reflection among midwives and professionals involved in the childbearing event, in order to fulfil women's expectations of their midwife and increase their satisfaction with the birth experience. The identification of the gaps in the evidence provided the starting point and allowed the development of research questions and methodology for an ongoing doctoral research. Based on the gaps in the evidence, the doctoral research will explore and seek to explain nulliparous women's expectations and experiences of a good midwife in the context of different planned place of birth, using a Grounded Theory methodology. It is also expected that the findings of this literature review will stimulate additional research in this area to ultimately inform midwifery practice and midwifery educational programmes.
