Abstract
This paper examines the assumptions underlying the practice of antenatal education. It traces the ideological basis of past attempts to educate pregnant women and their teachers, and to assess the effects of these attempts. It also charts the conflicts and alliances resulting from the contrasting ideologies, and concludes that the content, purpose and results of antenatal education must be reexamined in the light of an adequate study of the experience of childbearing. The requirements for such a study are outlined.
