Table 4 Examples of sensitive interactions
Woman/Midwife interaction | Woman/ CFHN interaction |
|---|---|
M9 – Have you had any major stressors in the past 12 months? | W11 – No I think I’ve coped fairly well, but is it normal to feel a bit emotional like during breastfeeding, it’s a bit like premenstrual… I have had a bit going on surprisingly? |
W30 – Only the miscarriage(looking down into hands clasped in the woman’s lap) | |
M9 – That’s a toughy… that would have been hard, I’m sorry about that (midwife turns to look at woman and smiles gently) | CFHN 6 – yep, yep definitely with all the hormones, but has there been anything else that has been troubling you that you’d like to talk about? |
W30 – (woman looks up and turns to face the midwife) Yes it was really hard |
