Pregnancy Schools provide guidance for expectant parents in Turkey

Pregnancy Schools in Yozgat and Kırklareli are providing comprehensive, free guidance to expectant mothers and fathers to prepare them for childbirth and the postpartum period.

In Yozgat, the Healthy Life Center offers services including physiotherapy-led pilates, breastfeeding consultancy, and home visits. Led by specialists such as Dr. Merve Feride Tan Ceylan and midwife Rabia Ünlüsoy, the program aims to combat misinformation found online and support the mental and physical well-being of families during pregnancy and the puerperium.

Similarly, the Kırklareli Training and Research Hospital recently concluded its October 2026 training session. Under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Emel Kurtoğlu Özdeş, midwives and nurses provided theoretical and practical instruction on newborn care, breastfeeding techniques, and labor processes. Participants also toured hospital delivery units to familiarize themselves with the physical environment of childbirth.
