Higher proportions of mothers with previous children and all mothers starting care at the birth centre reported that they had a birth plan and they were more likely to report that it had been useful, as Table 4 shows.
In Phase 2, 78.6 per cent of women with no previous children who planned to give birth at the birth centre reported having made birth plans compared with 62.2 per cent at the hospital, as Table 4 shows. Just over half of the women who intended to give birth at the birth centre reported that they found the birth plans very useful, compared with just over a quarter of those who started care at the hospital. Among women who started labour at the birth centre and transferred to the hospital, the proportion who found the birth plan useful was lower than for women who remained at the birth centre.
Women were asked whether staff supported their choices in labour. The perception of staff support was very much higher, almost universal, at the birth centre. Among women who transferred from the birth centre to the hospital, about three quarters felt their choices were strongly supported by birth centre staff, but only about half felt this level of support from hospital staff.
In Phase 2, women were asked some more specific questions. Among women with spontaneous labour starting labour care at the birth centre, nearly all said they always felt their privacy was respected and that they felt they were treated with respect and dignity compared with significantly lower but still substantial proportions of women starting care at the hospital, as Table 5 shows. In addition, higher levels of cleanliness were reported at the birth centre.
