Long Abstract
:

The birthing experience among women exhibits notable variations across geopolitical boundaries, urban centres, and even intra-urban locales. It would be imprudent to assume that a given nation or urban centre uniformly adheres to a specific birthing practise. Henceforth, the significance of examining institutions and organisations becomes apparent. Undeniably, the cultural milieu of a given institution plays a pivotal role in shaping the unique experiences of women within its confines. The present the paper endeavours to explicate the manner in which the institution organises the birthing process for the women. The institution's public nature proves inadequate in fulfilling the diverse expectations of women who are mostly marginalised. The provision of social support to birthing women in the maternity unit is fraught with difficulties and raises concerns about ethical conduct. The primary source of contentment for birthing women stems from the effective mitigation of pain during birth. Consequently, the present paper elaborates upon the various institutional methodologies employed to manage the said pain. The inclination of women to seek treatment at Civil Hospital appears to be primarily driven by economic necessity rather than personal preference. Nevertheless, it is intriguing to observe how women ascribe significance to their experiences of pain within the confines of Civil Hospital, and how they associate such suffering with the inescapable pain of giving birth. The obligatory insertion of PPIUCD (postpartum intrauterine device) adds an additional source of discontent among women, which is preceded by the meaningless content contained within the consent form. It is of utmost significance to adopt the viewpoint of medical personnel in order to comprehend and scrutinise the nuanced scenario. By means of their interviews, we discover that they too encounter certain constraints and predicaments. Thus this paper aims at providing a complete picture of how an institution shapes the birthing experience of women.
