- Abstract
Whether a childbirth educator is a novice or veteran in teaching, challenges exist during prenatal classes. Many participants of prenatal classes are first time parents-to-be who come with vast life experiences, social responsibilities, and values. Although freedom in teaching strategies is encouraged for prenatal educators, an approach that focuses on adult education is proposed to guide childbirth educators in prenatal classes. In addition, parenthood, literacy, socioeconomic status, and cultural differences can be considered to guide parents-to-be in making comfortable, appropriate, and satisfying childbirth choices
