Explain how the history of childbirth, the role of the childbirth

educator and the benefits of childbirth classes all affect teaching

expectant parents today. |\ |\




Historically women have given birth in their homes surrounded by other
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



women. Childbirth has moved out of the home and women do not see birth
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



regularly. The role of the childbirth educator is to educate and empower
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



women and families and make them aware of their choices and how to make
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



informed decisions. Childbirth classes help to bridge the gap in knowledge.
