With the increasing popularity of childbirth education classes, a number of studies have attempted to determine what effect, if any, such classes have on the gravida's attitudes toward her pregnancy and the upcoming delivery experience. Results have been conflicting, perhaps due to the methodological differences between studies. In the present study, 74 primiparas were administered the Pregnancy Research Questionnaire at two stages of their pregnancy. When demographically matched subsamples of Lamaze and non‐Lamaze‐trained women were compared, the Lamaze classes did not appear to have a significant effect on the maternal attitudes assessed
