Answer: B - Research consistently supports that women are more satisfied with their birth experience when they were empowered to make decisions for themselves, irrespective of the amount of pain they perceived. While care providers do impact the birth experience, they are not the primary motivators for satisfaction. Labor support helps to empower women. Pain medication can empower or disenfranchise women, depending on their individual perception of how invested in the decision-making process they were.
