A midwives' report into language used during labour and childbirth finds it should be less judgemental.
The language used around childbirth should be less judgemental and more personal, a report led by midwives has found.The report recommends asking pregnant women what language feels right for them.a recent review found failures had led to baby deathsThe new guidance "puts women's choices at its heart, so that they are in the driving seat when it comes to how their labour and birth are described", Royal College of Midwives chief executive Gill Walton said.
They wanted labour and birth to be a positive experience and for the language used to be non-judgemental, accurate and clear.When she was transferred to hospital last year, Alice Ashburn, from Cornwall, was described by a consultant as "the failed home birth". It is "so important how you enter parenthood", she says, and "when it goes wrong it can lead to difficult feelings".The first time Sue McKellar, from Glasgow, heard the term "incompetent cervix", she was 20 weeks pregnant and bleeding.
The cervix normally stays shut until the later stages of pregnancy and opens as part of labour when a pregnancy reaches full term.
