Abstract

 Despite considerable debate and research over many years the concept of “normality” in labour and delivery is not standardized or universal. Recent decades have seen a rapid expansion in the development and use of a range of practices designed to start, augment, accelerate, regulate or monitor the physiological process of labour, with the aim of improving outcomes for mothers and babies, and sometimes of rationalizing work patterns in institutional birth. In developed countries where such activity has become generalized questions are increasingly raised as to the value or desirability of such high levels of intervention. In the mean time, developing countries are seeking to make safe, affordable delivery care accessible to all women. The uncritical adoption of a range of unhelpful, inappropriate and/or unnecessary interventions, all too frequently poorly evaluated, is a risk run by many who try to improve the maternity services.

 Keywords: Labour; Normal Birth; Care Giver.
