Complaints about childbirth

Did you complain about your childbirth? If so, I would like to interview you.

My current research project at University College London explores childbirth and maternal health experiences. Furthermore, I am exploring mothers’ experiences of making complaints - and whether mothers need greater support in making complaints - and the results of such complaints.

Some mothers have a great childbirth experience, while others feel angry, guilty and disappointed with the events that occur during childbirth. In my interviews with mothers we discuss both the positive and negative experiences of events during labour and birth, and how this has made us feel. Finally, we discuss why the decision was made to complain about the childbirth experience and how was it to complain, and whether more support have been offered in the process?
