Feedback:
The primary focus of perinatal education is to provide information and support to clients and their families to foster a more active role in the upcoming birth. It also includes preparation for breast-feeding, infant care, transition to new parenting roles, relationships skills, family health promotion, and sexuality. Some methods of childbirth education focus on pain-free childbirth. Information provided in childbirth education classes helps to minimize anxiety and provide the couple with control over the situation, but elimination of anxiety or total control is unrealistic.
