This manual was developed to help Peace Corps volunteers who are serving as community health workers in developing nations to teach expectant mothers about pregnancy and childbirth. The material is organized in four sections corresponding to four prenatal classes plus a section on labor and delivery information for health care workers. Some of the topics covered by the lessons include anatomy and physiology, comfort during pregnancy, sex during pregnancy, nutrition, labor, relaxation and breathing during labor, breastfeeding, stages of labor, hospital admission, danger signs, the newborn, lactation, postpartum exercises, comfort measures during labor, Caesarian section, breech delivery, and postpartum care. Suggested teaching aids and sample handouts are provided. The materials are illustrated with line drawings, and a bibliography for further reading is included. (KC)
