During childbirth, women need someone's support. Providing continuous care to women with a supportive and holistic approach by midwives who care for women is seen as a potential that can improve labor pain management, birth comfort and satisfaction.

For this purpose, the objectives are: * To apply the continuous midwifery care model, * To increase women's normal birth comfort and satisfaction, * To create social awareness that midwives play a key role in normal birth, * Reducing preventable maternal and infant and infant deaths due to care deficiencies, * To reduce cesarean rates.
