One of the important challenges that our society faces as a whole and medicine in particular is the formation and development of prenatal culture (or parenthood culture) which will help to raise a generation which treats the childbirth as natural and joyous event in their lives. Childbirth is an expected, mysterious and unforgettable stage of life for each woman. Pain will be soon forgotten – it’s the woman’s nature and the sole moment of the birth of a little wonder will remainin her memory. For the labour to be normal, we should pay special attention to psychological preparation of the pregnant woman. The article deals with the problems of the woman’s attitude to her pregnancy, to the labour and delivery. These data could be used in maternity and paternity schools while developing the curriculum.
