Introduction:To encourage women's autonomy and give a new meaning to this unique moment of parturition for women and professionals who experience it, delivery care must be safe and based on scientific evidence Methodology:Good practices include fluid or food intake during labour or childbirth, the use of non-pharmacological pain relief methods, the presence of a preferred companion, mobility throughout all stages of labour, and the use of a partogram to track labour progress. Results: Evidence suggests that having a companion during labour has several benefits, including shorter labour times, less need for medication or analgesia, as well as operative or instrumental delivery, higher Apgar scores, higher breastfeeding rates, women feeling more confident, in control, and communicating during childbirth, and being satisfied, as well as a lower vulnerability to obstetric violence. Conclusions:The use of technologies in the care of women with the goal of promoting a physiological and humanised process is an essential component of the care provided.
