N2 - Pregnancy as a life transition is an ideal time to focus on health promotion. Although childbirth education is viewed by pregnant women/people and health professionals as a key component of antenatal care, scientific literature on the effectiveness of childbirth education is limited (Levett and Dahlen, 2019) and doubt currently exists about its value (; Ferguson et al., 2013; Gagnon and Sandall, 2007; Murphy, 2008; Walker et al., 2009; Levett and Dahlen, 2019). To date, three literature reviews (Broome and Koehler, 1986; Ferguson et al. 2013; Koehn 2002) and one systematic review (Gagnon and Sandall, 2007) have found that the effects of antenatal education for childbirth or parenthood are largely unknown (Levett and Dahlen, 2019).
