Abstract:
It has been suggested that participation in an antenatal education programme will increase the level of worry in pregnant women. This randomised controlled trial, investigated women's worries in late pregnancy as a secondary outcome depending on their attendance in an antenatal education programme. We found that women attending the education programme reported a lower level of worry in late pregnancy, especially worries related to birth issues, compared to those who did not attend the antenatal education programme.
