Summary

This completed study looked at 1,000 women who gave birth in 2024 to see if attending pregnancy school (antenatal classes) lowered the rate of first-time cesarean deliveries. Half the women attended classes; the other half did not. Researchers compared delivery methods and other factors like age and education. The goal is to understand if prenatal education can help reduce unnecessary cesareans.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
prenatal education classes (pregnancy school)
What this could lead to
If attending pregnancy school is linked to fewer first-time cesareans, it could support wider use of prenatal education to encourage vaginal birth.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a controlled experiment, so it can only show a link, not prove cause and effect. Other factors may explain any differences seen.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: All women who gave birth between January 2024 and December 2024 and attended antenatal classes (gebe okulu) will be included in the study. For the control group (women who did not attend antenatal classes), participants will be randomly selected, matching the case group (antenatal class attendees) in terms of age, education level, and parity. Exclusion Criteria: Women with a history of previous cesarean sections who are undergoing a repeat cesarean in this pregnancy will be excluded. Women with high-risk pregnancies, such as preeclampsia, preterm labor, preterm premature rupture of membranes, multiple pregnancies, previous cesarean section, or placental abruption, will not be included in the study.
