Our paper is out about what women want from their antenatal education. It forms an important part of thier journey and we advocate for a standardised, fexible ANE model to address diverse needs and reduce inequalities in access and information. rdcu.be/d8vS3

We are so pleased to share the newest paper from our research group exploring what happens to women's expectations and knowledge around birth following antenatal education.
Does it precipitate a mismatch between birth expectations and experiences?

I'm delighted that our paper doi.org/10.1186/s12884-024-0… about antenatal education is out! We found that it can contribute to an expectation-experience mismatch. A national antenatal education curriculum is needed!

Our study shares the experiences of 46 women's antenatal education. Birth expectations are informed by Antenatal Education - it can precipitate a mismatch between expectations and experience. An antenatal education curriculum is needed! doi.org/10.1186/s12884-024-0…

Are you pregnant, or recently had a baby in the last 24 months or the partner of someone who is? We are looking for participants in an online survey redcap.link/k6jjlonv to tell us what information they believe is important for women to know prior to having a vaginal birth.
