The difference between pre-test and post-test mean±SD knowledge score was highly significant p=0.001. In the control group pre-test mean±SD knowledge score was (9.00±1.38) and post-test mean±SD knowledge score was (9.24±1.39). The difference between pre-test and post-test mean knowledge score was statistically non-significant. childbirth expectancy score of the experimental group was found to be (75.00±7.11) and the childbirth expectancy score of the control group was found to be (81.12±3.27). Whereas the childbirth experience score of the experimental group was found to be (60.40±2.87) and childbirth experience score of the control group was found to be (80.68±2.97) which was statistically significant at the level of 0.001.
