Choice of Birthplace for Low Risk Women: A Reflection
Authors
Waterma, Kate
Abstract
This article reflects on the discussion between a midwife and low-risk woman regarding choice of birthplace. Using the reflective cycle by Rolfe et al (2001), a simple and pragmatic three-stage reflective cycle, I consider whether informed choice was effectively empowered for the client, and consider how evaluation and advocacy might be improved. The main points of this article will be summarised in the conclusion. All names have been changed to protect confidentiality.
