AB The  Institute  of  Medicine  has  defined  “patient-centered  care”  as  “providing  care  that  is  respectful  of  and  responsive  to  individual  patient  preferences,  needs,  and  values  and  ensuring  that  patient  values  guide  all  clinical  decisions.”1  The  Committee  on  Quality  of  Health  Care  in  America  in  2001  included  patient-centered  care  as  a  quality  indicator  of  national  health  services.2  In  obstetrics,  this  is  particularly  important,  as  it  may  be  the  only  time  that  some  women  of  childbearing  age  ever  encounter  the  healthcare  system.  A  positive  birth  experience  has  been  associated  with  a  feeling  of  empowerment,  accomplishment,  and  easier  adaptation  to  motherhood.  A  negative  experience  has  been  associated  with  postpartum  anxiety,  depression,  and  reduced  future  reproduction.2
