Summary
This study tested whether online childbirth classes work as well as face-to-face classes for reducing fear of childbirth and shaping birth beliefs. Fifty-eight first-time pregnant women took either online or in-person classes. Researchers measured their fear, beliefs about natural vs. medical birth, and preferred delivery method before and one month after the classes.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that online classes are as effective as in-person ones for reducing childbirth fear and shaping birth beliefs.
