The birth experience is one that is remembered by the mother for her entire life and empowers her sense of self and strengthens her ability to mother her newborn baby. The value of labor support to mother and family emotionally has the greatest lasting effect. This support will forever remain a memory of her birth experience. When a woman gives birth with more power and knowledge, she is more likely to have a fonder memory of her experience." Women tend to cope better, relax more, cooperate with treatment, describe their babies more positively, have a more positive recall of their birth experience and adjust to the postpartum period better when they receive sensitive, caring support during their labors.
