Abstract

The preparation of both women and men for parenting, known as prenatal care, has an important role in information and treatment about pregnancy, labor, postpartum and neonatal care. Currently, despite the technological advancements, the wide use of the Internet, the constant flow of information and the high level of education in women, a lack of knowledge has been observed of future parents about prenatal care. Hence, there is a need to educate and inform prospective parents about prenatal care. Therefore, a need of creating a program of prenatal care classes has been observed, consisting of specialized professionals, to inform prospective parents, in accordance with the corresponding international standards. There are Prenatal care Programs throughout the world.
