Indicator 11: Are women’s support people made to feel welcome during labour<br />
and birth<br />
<strong>Gold</strong> standard care is defined as women feeling that all of their support people are made to feel welcome during labour and birth.<br />
We asked women: “Were all of your support people (e.g. partner, husband, companion) made to feel welcome ... during your<br />
labour...during your birth”<br />
The graph displays the percentages of women who said that all of their support people were made to feel welcome both during<br />
labour and birth. 5<br />

What do women say about their care<br />
“My support people were…made to feel welcome, and at no<br />
time were they asked to leave or made to feel like they were<br />
an intrusion.”<br />
“They made my husband wait outside maternity ward while I<br />
was having contractions. As they were busy, they would not<br />
move me down to birthing, so my husband had to go home<br />
and I was left alone.”<br />
“Midwives were great whilst giving birth, they got my husband<br />
very involved even though neither of us expected that.”<br />
