Primary outcomes
Introduction form
Participants will complete a five-question introduction form, including four sociodemographic questions and a question about birth preferences.
Pre Education-Spousal Support During Pregnancy
The Perception of Spousal Support in Pregnancy Scale (PSSPS) (22 questions) will be administered during registration. The lowest possible score from the total scale is 16, and the highest score is 80. High scores from the scale indicate that perceived spousal support during pregnancy is high, while low scores indicate that perceived spousal support is low.
After Education - Spousal Support During Pregnancy
The Perception of Spousal Support During Pregnancy Scale (PSSPS) (22 questions) will be administered after childbirth education . The lowest possible score from the total scale is 16, and the highest score is 80. High scores from the scale indicate high perceived spousal support during pregnancy, while low scores indicate low perceived spousal support.

Ambiguous Emotional Memory Sub-dimension: High scores in this dimension indicate having more ambiguous feelings about the birth experience. Centrality of memory sub-dimension: High scores indicate that the birth memory is more centralized in the mother. Consistency and reliving sub-dimension: High scores in this dimension indicate a more consistent birth memory and more reliving. Sensory memory sub-scale: Higher scores indicate increased sensory memory of the birth experience. Involuntary recall sub-scale: Higher scores indicate more frequent involuntary recall.
