Introduction. Positive maternal labor experience is currently presented by the World Health Organization as a priority in perinatal care. Association: Parent and Midwife Independent Initiative “Well Born” works in many areas to support childbirth as a natural, safe and beautiful way of child’s coming to the world.  Aim. The aim of the work is to present the Association’s multidirectional activities that support women’s the positive labor experience. Material and methods. Studies were carried out using the qualitative method. The research tool consisted of in-depth interviews with members of the Association, observation and analysis of the Association’s documentation. Results. The Association is targeting both women – future mothers and midwives. The main goal of the Association members’ work is to increase the chance to experience a safe, satisfying birth. The second area is promoting the midwife profession. Many activities undertaken by the Association support midwives’ knowledge and skills (e.g. organization of trainings, conferences). Conclusions. Creating an environment of independent midwives, supporting their self-reliance, providing parents with information about the natural birth by the Association, are important elements of supporting positive childbirth experience.
