Abstract
Procedure
I had interviewed 18 women soon after their delivery. During the interview, their descriptions of labor and delivery were recorded. Those descriptions were analyzed qualitatively.
Result
Women who have had a natural birth report that they seemed to be able to control their labor and felt a strong bond with the baby. By feeling the baby's existence during the birth process, unimpeded by unnecessary medical assistance or drugs, they were able to have confidence in the newborn's health and also could feel a special closeness to the newborn as a result of consecutive process from conception to labor and delivery. Additionally, by getting over the pain of labor and delivery, the women were able to feel a sense of achievement and satisfaction and could truly realize the power of giving birth. Those emotions, feeling the baby's existence in birth canal, drove the women accept themselves and babies as they are, and enriched the women's emotions.
Conclusion
