Abstract
Childbirth is a crucial experience in women’s life as it has a substantial psychological, emotional and physical impact. Therefore, a childbirth positive experience is important to the woman, infant’s health and well-being, as well as mother–infant relationship. In addition, it is useful for the care providers to guarantee the best preparation, health service and support to childbearing women.

Assessment of women’s views of care has also become one of the indicators of the quality of health-care provision, with growing acceptance of the need to adapt services to improve women’s experiences.
