[Sources of women's knowledge relating pregnancy and childbirth].
Future parents have the huge range of possibility to afford theoretical knowledge from different sources: books, periodicals, advice of close, doctor's advice or the midwife in outpatient clinic and more. One of the most professional sources of knowledge preparing to parenthood is the delivery school. The aim of investigations is the analysis of sources of women's knowledge preparing to maternity at schools of childbirth and without such form of education. Investigations were conducted on Maternity Ward at the Chair and Department of Obstetrics and Perinatology of Pomeranian Medical University in Szczecin. Investigations were having taken over 129 women after delivery school. Control group was 165 women, who did not take any antenatal education. Investigations appeared that women participating in activities of the delivery school more often read professional magazines and books, watching films preparing to birth control. This is probably the result of significantly frequent higher education in this group as well as the projection of educational films in delivery school. Moreover woman without preparation in delivery school more often had to need the help of hospital staff during delivery.
