evidence-based childbirth

Evidence-based childbirth refers to the practice of making decisions about labor and delivery based on the best available research, clinical expertise, and the values and preferences of the expectant mother. This approach encourages healthcare providers to use data from scientific studies to guide care, ensuring that practices are safe and effective. It emphasizes informed choices, where women are given clear information about their options and outcomes, enabling them to participate actively in their childbirth experience. By prioritizing evidence, this method aims to improve maternal and infant health and ensure positive birthing experiences.
