Women in Benin City, Nigeria indicated that they want a birthing experience that is emotionally supportive, results in a healthy baby and is within their cultural scope. Adopting a woman-centred care approach may encourage more women to transition from prenatal care to childbirth with SBAs. Efforts should be placed on training SBAs as well as investigating how non-harmful cultural practices can be integrated into local healthcare systems.
