During the first trimester, the pregnant woman would be most motivated to learn about:

d. location of childbirth preparation and breastfeeding classes.
C
During the first trimester, a woman is egocentric and concerned about how she feels. She is working on the task of accepting her pregnancy. Fetal development and the impact of a new baby on the family would be appropriate topics for the second trimester, when the fetus becomes "real" as its movements are felt and its heartbeat heard. During this trimester, a woman works on the task of "I am going to have a baby." Motivation to learn about childbirth techniques and breastfeeding is greatest for most women during the third trimester as the reality of impending birth and becoming a parent is accepted. One goal is to achieve a safe passage for herself and her baby.
