Comparing midwife-led versus standard hospital care for new mothers
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two types of care after having a baby: one where a midwife leads your care continuously, and another where care is split among different staff. The goal is to see which approach makes mothers more satisfied and helps them adjust to becoming a parent.
