Answer to Question 2

1. Prenatal classes eliminate the risk of needing a vacuum extraction or cesarean birth..

Rationale:
Prenatal classes do not eliminate the risk of needing a vacuum extraction or cesarean birth. There is no guarantee that an operative birth can be avoided, even if a couple attends prenatal classes. Prenatal classes help parents cope with the discomforts and unknowns of childbirth. A secondary goal of prenatal classes is to facilitate communication between the pregnant woman and her partner. The primary goals are to inform participants of the birth process and teach them skills to cope with labor and birth. One of the strategies used in prenatal classes is to have participants write a birth plan that lists their requests for how they want their birthing experience to be. But putting their desires down in writing is less important than learning about the birth process and learning skills to cope with labor and delivery.
