Historically women have given birth in their homes surrounded by other
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
women. Childbirth has moved out of the home and women do not see birth
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
regularly. The role of the childbirth educator is to educate and empower
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
women and families and make them aware of their choices and how to make
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
informed decisions. Childbirth classes help to bridge the gap in knowledge.
