Abstract
There are three critical issues in perinatal education today: changing clients, changing perinatal educators, and the changing obstetrical climate. Each of these issues is discussed, and difficult philosophical questions that require answers are identified. The answers will require serious deliberation, hard thought, values clarification, collective wisdom, and an element of risk taking by perinatal educators.
