description Abstract Aim This study aimed to explore the meaning of a positive childbirth experience expressed by women who had given birth in Iran. Design Qualitative exploratory study. Methods This is a qualitative study conducted on 10 women aged 20–38 years with positive childbirth experience. Data were collected using semi‐structured interviews from 72 hr–2 months after childbirth. Results Data analysis led to into two themes and five subthemes. The themes include control and empowerment. Control theme consisted of three subthemes of preparation, coping and support; and empowerment theme consisted of two subthemes of self‐efficacy and self‐esteem. Women's sense of empowerment to childbirth can be the result of a positive childbirth experience. Therefore, it seems that providing positive experience factors of childbirth plays an important role in women's self‐efficacy and self‐esteem, which requires cooperation and effort at the level of the individual, family, education system and healthcare system.
