What is a Maternity School?

Maternity school is an educational program designed to help expectant mothers go through pregnancy in a conscious, safe, and healthy way. During these programs, health professionals provide accurate and evidence-based information on physical and emotional changes during pregnancy, preparation for birth, the postpartum period, breastfeeding, and newborn care.

Purpose of the Maternity School

The main goal of maternity school is to raise awareness among expectant mothers about situations they may encounter during pregnancy and childbirth. These trainings help reduce anxiety, allowing mothers to approach the birth process with greater confidence. Fathers are also encouraged to participate, enabling families to prepare together for this special period.
