Our paper is out about what women want from their antenatal education. It forms an important part of thier journey and we advocate for a standardised, fexible ANE model to address diverse needs and reduce inequalities in access and information. https://t.co/3J93kzhuXy

We are so pleased to share the newest paper from our research group exploring what happens to women's expectations and knowledge around birth following antenatal education.
Does it precipitate a mismatch between birth expectations and experiences?

Our study shares the experiences of 46 women's antenatal education. Birth expectations are informed by Antenatal Education - it can precipitate a mismatch between expectations and experience. An antenatal education curriculum is needed! https://t.co/FhVwQ7RWKt
