Midwives' knowledge of, attitudes towards and experiences of caring for women with intellectual disability during pregnancy and childbirth: A cross-sectional study in Sweden

even if the majority of midwives had experience of caring for women with ID, they were uncertain about how to adapt and give advice and they needed more knowledge about these women. Some midwives had negative attitudes towards childbearing among women with ID. Health Service providers should encourage midwives to update their knowledge and provide supportive supervision in midwifery care for women with ID.
