Summary

This study looks at whether attending childbirth preparation classes with a spouse helps first-time mothers feel more supported, satisfied with their birth, and have more positive birth memories. Pregnant women in their 30th to 32nd week will be split into three groups: classes with their spouse, classes alone, or usual care. Researchers will measure spousal support, birth satisfaction, and how mothers remember their birth experience.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
childbirth preparation classes (behavioral intervention)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that attending childbirth classes with a partner improves birth satisfaction and positive memories of birth.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with 93 participants, so results may not apply to all pregnant women. The outcomes rely on self-reported surveys, which can be biased.
