4.4 LIMITATIONS TO THE STUDY
This study has some limitations. It is one of the few of its kind on the subject matter and an eye-opener at our facility to the wish of our women. However, it does not represent the opinion of the entire society.
Most respondents who had companions in their previous delivery(ies) did so in facilities outside the teaching hospitals (place of study) because companionship in labour was uncommon at UITH. Therefore, a community-based study would be preferable.
