Introduction: The majority of and approximately 140 million births that occur globally every year are among women without risk factors for complications for themselves or their babies at the beginning and throughout labour. Over the last two decades, women have been encouraged to give birth in health care facilities. And WHO encourage health care providers to adopt and adapt recommendations, which provide a sound foundation for the provision of person-centered, evidence-based and comprehensive care for women and their newborn babies. The guideline recognizes a “positive childbirth experience” as a significant end point for all women undergoing labour.
