[Consequences of family oriented obstetrics]

Attitudes toward motherhood are defined as well by the individual life history and learning process as by the social situation of the pregnant women. The mother-child-relationship can be supported by the hospital routine if there is offered: individual pregnancy care, to pay more attention to personal situation of the becoming mother, psychological childbirth classes for the becoming parents, early skin contact between mother and the newborn, rooming-in and hospital visits for the brothers and sisters.
