This document summarizes research on women's experiences with maternity care and proposes solutions to promote more compassionate care. It notes that only half of women surveyed had the birth they wanted and many felt their experiences negatively affected their self-image. International research also found instances of disrespect and abuse in institutional maternity care. The document advocates for both macro-level solutions like adopting human rights frameworks and micro-level solutions like role modeling compassionate care. It emphasizes that small acts of kindness can transform traumatic experiences and promoting virtuous cycles of love over manufactured fear can improve care.

- 31. I came across a spectacularly compassionate midwife once (actually she was a student) whose actions transformed a very traumatic experience and for that I have always been immensely grateful so if this in some tiny way pays back Sharon’s kindness then that would be wonderful. My first baby was born by c-section under a general anaesthetic after a cascade of fear-based interventions culminating in an incompetent registrar panicking. Afterwards I had a whole host of hospital staff visiting, because a GA section was a rare event, and most of them strutted in with an ‘isn’t modern medicine marvellous, all-that-matters-is- a-healthy-baby’ spiel that really p***d me off. Sharon was the ONLY one who came in, said ‘well, that didn’t go so well did it’, held my hand and told me about those precious first few minutes of my daughter’s life that we’d missed. Even my husband wasn’t in the room when she was born and hearing about how she looked and sounded and what happened to her made an incalculable difference. Helen Bilton The small things
- 33. There are only two feelings: Love and fear. There are only two languages: Love and fear. There are only two activities: Love and fear. There are only two motives, two procedures, two frameworks, two results. Love and fear. Building virtuous cycles Prof Soo Downe Michael Leunig's prayers from A Common Prayer
- 34. We can differentiate between the fear that is real and protects us, and the fear that is manufactured and strangles us. Manufactured fear reflects how we see women and birth. (Dahlen 2010)

- Arguably, it is fear that drives current pathological ways of doing birth. Fear of things going wrong, fear of being sued, fear of not being competent in the new technologies. Could it be that a turn towards love as the basis of maternity care may change the high rates of intervention for women and children, while still keeping them clinically safe?
