AB  - Childbirth classes combined with elements of psychoprophylaxis and 
      psychoeducation prepare women and their partners for childbirth and influence the 
      level of their perceived stress and mood disorders. Participation in these 
      classes may come as a form of support for pregnant women, or an opportunity to 
      build self-efficacy and commence regular physical activity. The aim of this study 
      was assess the emotional state, social support and self-efficacy of pregnant 
      women attending childbirth classes, in the context of physical activity 
      undertaken. The study included 101 pregnant women. The Berlin Social Support 
      Scale (BSSS), the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), the Perceived Stress Scale 
      (PSS-10) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) were used during their 
      first day of attendance at the childbirth classes (initial survey; T1) and after 
      10 weeks of participation in these classes (final survey; T2). After 10 weeks of 
      childbirth classes, there was a statistically significant change in the BSSS, 
      specifically in the area of Perceived Available Support, GSES, PSS-10, and STAI 
      X-2. There was no significant relationship established between the emotional 
      state and the physical activity undertaken before and during pregnancy or with 
      the social support received.
