Research shows that independent, evidence-based antenatal classes, such as One Mama Midwife, can reduce fear, anxiety, interventions and postpartum post traumatic stress disorder. Fear during labour can negatively impact your mental state, slow the progress of your labour, lead to more operative births and increase the rates of negative birth experiences (Gün Kakaşçı, et al., 2023).
Furthermore, attending Antenatal Classes has been shown to increase self-confidence in the labour room as well as in the postpartum period (Gün Kakaşçı, et al., 2023).

Fear during birth can negatively impact your mental state and increase the rates of negative birth experiences (Gün Kakaşçı, et al., 2023).
Furthermore, a study of over 1900 women who underwent a caesarean section stated that they felt uneducated and unprepared, leading to a negative experience. Thus, highlighting the importance of high quality education on your caesarean birth and postpartum period.
