The most important step in a positive birth journey is the preparation education for birth and parenthood. Birth and parenthood preparation education is a comprehensive program that enables expectant mothers to physically, psychologically, and emotionally prepare for labor and postpartum during pregnancy. These trainings emphasize that birth is a natural process, aiming to reduce the mothers’ anxieties, increase their sense of confidence, and help them experience a conscious birth process.

Birth preparation education is not limited to theoretical knowledge only. It is also supported with practical information such as applied exercises, breathing techniques, relaxation methods, and correct birth positions. It is recommended that partners also participate in the trainings, as this transforms birth into a family experience.

The Importance of Birth Preparation Education

Nowadays, many women face their first birth experience with anxiety and fear. Facing the unknown, not knowing how the birth will progress, and negative stories heard from the environment can increase these worries. With every birth, a mother is also born. Questions like “What kind of mother should I be?” and “Will I be a good enough mother?” start to circle in the mind. Birth and parenthood preparation education is very valuable in eliminating these concerns and reminding that birth is a controllable, natural process.

Thanks to the education, expectant mothers better understand the changes occurring in their bodies, gain knowledge about the birth process, and learn methods to cope with pain and bond with their baby. Additionally, comprehensive preparation is provided regarding breastfeeding, baby care, and the postpartum period.

Preparing both physically and mentally for every type of birth and welcoming your baby with positive feelings is very precious. Remember, “How you say hello to your baby shapes their entire life.”

Who Is Birth Preparation Education Suitable For?

• All women who want to welcome their baby with positive emotions
• Women who will become mothers for the first time
• Those who have had negative birth experiences before
• Those who have fear of childbirth
• Couples who want to go through a conscious birth process together

This education is recommended to every expectant mother from the 20th week of pregnancy onwards. The content of the trainings can be tailored according to personal needs.
