Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine associations between pregnancy outcomes and childbirth education, identifying any outcomes moderated by pregnancy complications. This was a secondary analysis of the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System, Phase 8 data for four states. Logistic regression models compared outcomes with childbirth education for three subgroups: women with no pregnancy complications, women with gestational diabetes, and women with gestational hypertension. Women with pregnancy complications do not receive the same benefit from attending childbirth education as women with no pregnancy complications. Women with gestational diabetes who attended childbirth education were more likely to have a cesarean birth. The childbirth education curriculum may need to be altered to provide maximum benefits for women with pregnancy complications.
