Exploring Western Australian Women's experiences of sharing positive birth stories.

Background: Fear can impact childbirth experiences, yet most birth stories women hear portray birth as unfavourable, and women must actively seek out positive birth stories.

Aims And Objectives: We aim to explore how women feel when sharing positive birth stories and the socially constructed motivations for or against sharing.

Research Question: What are the experiences of women who share positive birth stories?

Methods: A qualitative descriptive approach was adopted, adhering to Standards of Reporting Qualitative Research (SRQR) guidelines, and underpinned by an interpretivist research philosophy.
