| Résumé : |
The implementation of normal birth strategies in the context of caring for women with Type 1 diabetes mellitus forms the discussion for this paper and will explore the health professional's responsibility to provide safe and ethical care.
Women describe a positive birth experience as one which respects their beliefs and culture, whilst achieving their hopes of a healthy, live birth in supportive, emotionally and clinically, safe surroundings. They express how this experience is enhanced when they feel involved in making decisions, particularly when there is a need for medical intervention (World Health Organization (WHO) 2018). However, the birth experiences of women differ depending on the risk factors they carry during their pregnancy. Normal birth is defined by theWorld Health Organization (WHO 2018)as ‘spontaneous in onset, low-risk at the start of labour, and remaining so throughout labour and delivery. The infant is born spontaneously’. Complications of pregnancy can occur through the existence of issues within social, medical, psychological or obstetric fields, changing the care pathway necessary for a safe birth (Alderdice et al 2009). It has been acknowledged that across the United Kingdom there is increased pressure on midwives to provide care to women who have complex needs (Holten & de Miranda 2016). This increased pressure has emphasised the importance of multidisciplinary teams of health professionals, to help diagnose and manage care, using medical developments and technology that previously did not exist to assist high-risk women in healthy outcomes for both mother and baby (Berg 2005a). |
