The research questions of this study are listed below.
Pregnancy is a physiological process that can create significant physical, psychological, and emotional stress for women. During this time, they may experience various symptoms and complaints. The outcomes of pregnancy can be unpredictable, which is why it's crucial for pregnant women to receive ample support from those around them, particularly their spouses. As a result, many women may choose to attend prenatal preparation courses. Ultimately, every woman desires a safe and uncomplicated birth, tailored to her preferences, and with a high level of satisfaction.
The purpose of this randomized controlled experimental study is to determine the effect of childbirth preparation classes on perception of spouse support and birth satisfaction.

The scale ranges from a lowest score of 0 to a highest score of 40 points. As the score increases, so does the level of satisfaction. For this study, the cut-off scores have been divided into three equal parts as follows:
| First week postpartum (during first clinical check-up) |
The participant will be asked to report the childbirth method that took place. |
