A known midwife can make a difference for women with fear of childbirth- birth outcome and women’s experiences of intrapartum care

ConclusionThis study indicates that having access to a known midwife might have an impact on women’s birth experience. This study was limited by its small sample size and further research would need to randomise fearful women to counselling or continuity of care to determine the contribution of each to reducing fear.
