The childbirth educator nurse states that the primary rationale for providing general information as well as breathing and relaxation exercises in childbirth education is:
1. So that mothers who are doing breathing exercises during labor will refrain from yelling.
2. Because breathing and relaxation exercises are less exhausting than crying and moaning.
3. Knowledge learned at childbirth education classes helps to break the fear–tension–pain cycle.
4. Childbirth education classes help to promote positive maternal–newborn bonding.

Rationale 3: The hope of the educators presenting the classes is that knowledge learned at childbirth education classes helps to break the fear–tension–pain cycle.
Rationale 4: Even though bonding is discussed, it is not the primary goal of childbirth education classes.
