| dc.description.abstract | This curriculum has been developed to guide and assist health care professionals in the instruction of childbirth preparation classes for expectant parents. This curriculum has been designed with a foundational philosophy of helping families to achieve a safe, dignified and joyful birth experience. Traditionally, pregnancy has been viewed as an illness since most gravid women have a doctor as their birth attendant. Doctors treat illness, and this is where the myth of pregnancy as a disease, began. However; today, there is a growing paradigm shift in childbirth practices as prospective parents are becoming increasingly more educated in the labor and birth process. Childbirth educators need to be knowledgeable and teach from a curriculum that continues to help this consumer movement onward. A dignified, joyful birth is one in which a pregnant couple have choices, and are active participants in the birth of their child. This curriculum has been created to obtain this goal. | en |
