Abstract
Julie Wray highlights the fact that most research into postnatal care focuses on the experiences of first-time mothers with an uncomplicated birth, and is often the result of a brief survey. This, she points out, cannot give us a proper understanding of the issues. Her own research is the result of time spent observing activities in two postnatal wards, and of in-depth interviews with 17 women over a period of seven months following birth. Her findings give us a real insight into the way in which the physical environment of the ward affects these women and also the staff.
