Better together: A qualitative exploration of women's perceptions and experiences of group antenatal care
2019, Women and BirthCitation Excerpt :Lack of engagement with antenatal care and belonging to socially, ethnically or linguistically marginalised groups has been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes including low birth-weight, neonatal mortality and maternal morbidity and mortality.5,6 There is evidence that routine maternity care in an obstetric-led service, despite the aims of midwifery care, may alienate or disempower women, particularly those from minority groups.7,8 Globally, there is a drive to improve health outcomes for childbearing women in disadvantaged communities through facilitating both their access to care, particularly in the antenatal period, and their empowerment.9,10
