Sheila Kitzinger writes:
"Hospitals
exist where all members of staff share this attitude (woman-baby centred care),
but they are few and far between. You need only one person who is out of tune
with such ideas, who believes in the aggressive management of labour, who,
instead of being client- oriented, sees a woman as a patient who must obey
hospital protocols, one person who is anxious and afraid, and who cannot trust
women's bodies, for the environment in which birth takes place to be poisoned,
and completely unsuitable for the focused concentration and inner confidence
that is needed for a good birth."
