Declarations
:
: The study was approved by the University of Technology Sydney University Ethics Committee (approval no. ETH21-6563) and the University of Notre Dame Australia Ethics Committee (approval no. 2022–063 S).
: Not applicable.
: We have chosen to use the word ‘woman’ to describe respondents to the survey, and to reflect female physiology in childbirth. However, we respect gender diversity and acknowledge that not all people who are pregnant or giving birth identify as women. This paper reflects the views of respondents as representative of a cohort giving birth in Australia.
: Conflict of Interests (as stated in the cover letter)Deborah Fox has received consultancy fees from Philips Healthcare for presentations to clinicians on mobility in labour, and research funding for two unrelated projects evaluating the Philips Avalon Beltless Solution (non-invasive fetal ECG).
