INTRODUCTION: This study was performed to compare childbirth experiences in the United Kingdom (UK) and the Netherlands (NL) and identify determinants of positive childbirth experiences in both countries.
METHODS: Women who gave birth in the UK (n = 1303) or the NL (n = 900) between January 2017 and December 2020 who filled in the cross-sectional Babies Born Better survey were included in this study. Fully adjusted logistic regression models were used to assess differences in the odds of a positive childbirth experience between the two countries. Hierarchical logistic regression analyses were performed to identify determinants of a positive childbirth experience, including socio-demographic factors, pregnancy and childbirth outcomes, and care-related determinants.
RESULTS: Respondents giving birth in the UK had decreased odds of a positive childbirth experience compared to NL respondents (66% vs. 85%, AOR 0.45, CI 0.35-0.57). Significant determinants for a positive childbirth experience were multiparity, absence of pregnancy complications, a spontaneous vaginal birth, and giving birth at home. UK respondents who had a planned caesarean section had a higher likelihood of reporting a positive childbirth experience when adjusted for confounders. Having a doctor as the primary birth care provider was less likely to be associated with a positive childbirth experience in the UK.
CONCLUSIONS: Most women in both the NL and the UK reported positive childbirth experiences, but NL respondents were more likely to do so. Determinants of a positive birth experience were mostly factors associated with uncomplicated labor and birth, or linked with fulfilled choices and with being multiparous.
