DISTRIBUTE THE CONSUMER HANDOUTS FROM THE CHILDBIRTH CONNECTION WEBSITE TO YOUR STUDENTS
You can also refer your students to the Childbirth Connection website. However, you may increase the chances that your students will read the pamphlets if you give them copies. Or you can create a library by placing the pamphlets in folders and asking students to return them after reading. I have also included with this article a condensed, two-page handout on birth hormones (see Appendix). The reading level is a little higher than the consumer pamphlets on the Childbirth Connection website, so this handout is not appropriate for all childbirth classes.
