The midwives all concluded that they view the support they offer women during childbirth as
their most crucial role as professionals, but this support can be compromised due to medical
responsibilities and a stressful workload. If work conditions involved one midwife per woman
in labour, overall stress for midwives could have been decreased. This staffing decision could
contribute to a more positive experience of childbirth for the mother, including less
interventions and complications and, by extension, a better start to parenthood. (Less)
