My clinical inquiry project examined, through qualitative research using four focus groups, the beliefs and feelings of 27 women regarding physiologic, unmedicated birth. There were three simple, open ended questions presented to each of the focus groups. These questions were: (a) why did you choose unmedicated birth; (b) what supports the choice during pregnancy; (c) what supports the choice during labor and birth. These three questions led each focus group to 2 hours of open discussion, expression of feeling and concepts, and many suggestions of changes that needed to occur, and things they believed worked.
