The qualitative research literature reviewed particularly, provided insights into the empowerment of women for transition to motherhood. Three themes evolved from current literature. These were: antenatal education, losses and failing. Women-generated solutions were elicited from the literature. These suggested recommendations were in terms of: <ul> <li>antenatal education</li> </ul> <ul> <li>antenatal education being user friendly</li> </ul> <ul> <li>antenatal education being relevant to counteract feelings of failure.</li> </ul></p> <p>This treatise recommends philosophical and practical changes to antenatal education.</p>
