The elimination of pain in childbirth is one of the most pressing problems in medicine. The connection of painful sensations with the emotions and experiences of a woman is also of interest. Therefore, the preparation for childbirth contributes to the safe course of labor and the reduction of adverse outcomes. The purpose of our study was to assess the impact of the "Conscious Motherhood" program on the use of epidural anesthesia during childbirth and the course of childbirth. 206 pregnant women at the age of 34 weeks were examined and distributed by simple randomization into 2 groups: the main group consisted of 109 pregnant women who completed the course "Conscious motherhood", the comparison group included 97 pregnant women who did not undergo prenatal training in the course "Conscious Motherhood". There was a significant (3-fold) decrease in the number of surgical deliveries, both abdominal and vaginal, and the absence of hospitalizations of children to the intensive care unit in the group who attended classes under the program "Conscious Motherhood".
