Exclusion criteria included the absence of women in continuous training sessions, premature delivery, and maternal unavailability during the completion of the questionnaires.

Three Training sessions each lasted for one hour during twenty days were hold for the case group. The first session was conducted to affect their attitude and provide favourable attitude towards natural delivery. The second session was allocated to presenting feasible methods for reducing pain in order to enhance mothers' perceived behavioral control. In the 3rd session the methods were exercised practically so that they could better employ them whenever needed during the parturition. As a result, the mothers' selection of the sort of delivery was checked out. In order to influence the subjective norm, pregnant women were also asked to transfer their knowledge to their husbands. The control group also received only routine training sessions by the midwives in the health care centers.
