What is the purpose of childbirth education?

Childbirth education is designed to help women access accurate and up to date information about childbirth and make informed decisions about their care. Exposure to evidence based information about maternity care practices should assist women to make informed decisions that are based on that evidence.

What is the importance of maternal and child health?

Maternal and newborn nutrition saves lives and supports development and greater economic prosperity. Maternal and newborn health are connected. Good nutrition in the first 1,000 days supports a healthy start for children, while pregnant women need good nutrition for their own and their babies' health.

What is the motherhood effect?

Becoming a mother implies a sharp decline in women's labor supply, both in the extensive and intensive margins, and labor earnings. Importantly, these effects persist even 10 years after the birth of the first child.

What is the importance of safe motherhood?

The goal of the National Safe Motherhood Program is to reduce maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality and to improve the maternal and neonatal health through preventive and promotive activities as well as by addressing avoidable factors that cause death during pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum period.
