Maternity Experience Report

According to the Maternity Experiences Survey conducted by the Public Health Agency of Canada only slightly more than half of Canadian women felt their birth experience was "very positive".
I don't know about you, but I think it's pretty sad, that the birth of one's child isn't amongst the most positive days in your entire life.
I wasn't surprised to note that nearly 3/4s of the women who had midwives as their primary caregiver report the experience as "very positive".
Coincidence - I think not :)
The survey seemed to be very extensive. I'm sure anxious to read further summaries of the findings when they're published in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in the spring of 2008.
