Abstract
The present study was designed to explore mothers' experiences of obstetric events and obstetricians' perceptions of these experiences. A positive—negative rating continuum was used to assess the reactions of 147 women and 46 obstetricians to 46 events occurring during pregnancy and labor.In general, mothers view obstetric interventions positively. Psychosocial factors in particular arc viewed very positively. Obstetricians, on the other hand, overestimate the negative reactions of mothers to most obstetric events and underestimate the positive value of psychosocial factors for women in labor.
