Summary

The main purpose of this study is to determine the effect of prenatal video education on pregnant women's intention to practice and actual practice of skin to skin contact (SSC) after birth. This study hypothesizes that education in video format will increase patients knowledge about skin to skin in a way that will make them consider participating in skin to skin immediately after birth.

Therefore the end point for this study is intention to participate in SCC measured by a single questionnaire item "Do you plan on participating in skin to skin (or kangaroo care) immediately after birth?" Our secondary end-point will measure whether or not the patient was able to participate in skin to skin within five minutes of delivery.

All study participants will complete a short survey about their intention of practicing skin to skin after birth upon admission for delivery. Half of the study participants will only complete the brief survey. The other half of study participants will then watch a short video about skin to skin and complete one follow up question regarding their intention to practice skin to skin at the time of delivery. All patients will be followed until after delivery to determine if they were able to participate in skin to skin after delivery.
