Socioethical issues in hospital birth: Troubling tales from a Canadian sample

Article Abstract:

A qualitative Canadian study surveyed prenatal counseling in a hospital setting that revealed unexpected and disturbing narratives from participants about their labors and deliveries. The study revealed that absence of prenatal counseling and consent, in some cases, led to psychosocial trauma, perpetuated by false assumptions the participants made about the safety of hospital births, demonstrating alarming gaps in knowledge about the realities of hospital birth and prenatal care in hospital settings.
