Abstract
This chapter will focus on how women and their families know and trust midwives and doctors, and why this is important for the journey they make. How does fear and anxiety influence women in the choices they make for their care during pregnancy, birth and beyond? The power of a trusting relationship and how this can change the experiences for women during their childbirthing journey. Some women choose care that may be considered out of step with current evidence, why is that and what do we need to do so that care meets everyone's needs?
