Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v54 n6 p872-74 Dec 1986
First-time parents completed questionnaires 3 months before childbirth and 1 and 9-10 weeks after birth. Found that 39 Lamaze-trained couples reported similar levels of marital satisfaction, state anxiety, and birth-related problems at all testings, while 37 non-Lamaze trained couples showed decreases in marital satisfaction and increases in anxiety and postbirth problems over time.
