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. rdcu.be/d8vS3

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? #citeas" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">…pregnancychildbirth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

@abimerriel 's new qualitative research reports existing antenatal education offer can contribute to birth expectations-experience mismatch @Yanarichens @DrAngelaK @PhD_Midwife @DrFeeleyRM @sheena_byrom @ACBmidwife

📷 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! doi.org/10.1186/s12884…
