Abstract
It is not only women who experience shame and stigma because of their circumstances, it can affect midwives too. Shame and stigma can have a significant impact on both parents and midwife.
Expectant parents who are experiencing
difficulties with childbirth may become self absorbed. Critical ruminations are likely to
ensue and this can lead to these parents failing
to care for themselves appropriately.
Meanwhile, midwives’ professional practice
may also become compromised because
of shameful ruminations.
