Answer: C - When the woman has the support of a partner and the two are in a committed relationship (whether marital or not), the woman is more likely to view her birth experience as enjoyable despite the pain. Other factors that can create a positive experience include a lack of menstrual problems in the past, non-traditional attitudes about sex roles, attendance at childbirth preparation classes, and higher social status. Enjoyment and pain have been shown to coexist, and, interestingly, women with low levels of pain do not seem to have the most enjoyable births.
