Feedback:
Mother-friendly hospitals approach birth as a healthy and joyous experience. The patient should expect to receive accurate information about procedures, drugs, and tests and receive support for making informed choices about what is best for the baby. To qualify as a mother-friendly hospital, there should not be routine policies for fetal monitoring, perineal shaving, admission enemas, or artificial rupturing of the membranes.
