The “experiences of maternity care in NSW public hospitals” report summarises survey results from 4739 women who had a baby in 2015.
The majority of women said they had confidence and trust in the healthcare professionals providing antenatal care and in the midwives or doctors taking care of them during their labour and birth.
BHI chief executive Jean-Frederic Levesque said most women across the state had very good experiences of maternity care, and almost eight in 10 said they would speak highly about the hospital where they had their baby.
“Women were particularly positive about the care they received during labour and birth with 95 per cent saying it was either very good or good,” he said.
“The report shows that more than two thirds of women felt involved in decisions during labour and birth and about leaving hospital.”
