Most people associate hospitals with being ill. Women may feel passive and alienated in a labour ward, unable to achieve the concentration and tranquility needed to manage contractions, distracted by strange surroundings and interruptions from staff, and even distressed by other labouring women.
While many hospitals are making welcome efforts to humanise the labour ward, ridding themselves of such unnecessary and degrading procedures as enemas and pubic shaving, there is increasing evidence that many common interventions can cause more problems than they solve.
