Re: A couple of Questions!
Thanks TallPoppy, ok well, here goes then! My attempt at answers!
1) Both the mother and the partner need to be emotionally supported and taken through exactly what had happened and why, and also what the next steps are to move forward and cope. Even though this support cannot take the pain away, it can help them to getting back on track with what they want to do next.
2) A woman in labour wants to have access to the best possible care and support, as well as having a safe (though maybe not always easy) delivery.
3) I think that Mothers may have more of a physical experience than those who do not have children, but it is not necessarily an advantage. It may be difficult to displace themselves from their own experiences of pregnancy and not to look into all aspects with an un-bias view.
4) I have no idea for this one =[
5) In my opinion, I would be concerned about giving the woman in question the most options that are available to her at that point and ensuring she is given totally un-bias information, making sure it is totally her choice!
Phew! Well, that's what I think! Please feel free to put me right!
