"Maternity Architecture" - a new way forward to changing the culture of the mainstream labour wards in the UK where 93% of all women in give birth.

Little has changed over the years in terms of infrastructure and design, with beds being the central focus of all labour rooms. It is now important to 'rethink and relook at the water we all swim in on labour wards and change the culture, making labour more 'comfortable' for women, their families and the professional family that care for them.
This can be done by having environments with gardens, rest rooms for labour partners, dim lighting, pools, music at the press of a button (e.g hypnobirth, classical, contemporary) and all mobile equipment in rooms (CTG telemetry). Beautiful beds that can be adapted for emergencies.

Presently, beautiful environments like this one for "holistic birth " are found in birth centres - but it is time now to achieve this for all women.

This will lead to a change in birthing culture for women, their partners and their families.
