Caesarean section is an emergency procedure necessary to prevent harm or death to the mother or newborn. Worldwide, caesarean section rates are steadily increasing. This increase not only has negative consequences on maternal and child health, but also leads to a reduction in essential resources and impedes access to health services worldwide. The International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) has called for help from government bodies, professional organisations, women's groups and other stakeholders to reduce unnecessary caesarean sections. According to a review of antenatal and intrapartum interventions to reduce caesarean section, promote vaginal birth and reduce fear of childbirth; the importance of support in the intrapartum period is prominent. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) states that this support with a midwife who provides care and one-to-one support to the woman in labour reduces women's anxiety and increases their sense of trust.
