Abstract:-
Adolescence is a period in a young girl’s life which heralds a change – not quite a little girl, not quite a young woman. Though WHO considers adolescence as period between 10 to 20 years, the physical and emotional changes that are supposed to take place at this time start much earlier and continue to a much later age. At this age, the girls may be confused, afraid to ask about the changes taking place, may wonder what is happening, and do not know where to turn to for correct information, guidance and advice, specially in India where cultural taboos are rooted in the very fabric of the society.

Childbirth is a sweet miracle, which is experienced by majority of the women, though these instances do leave memories never to forget. The anxiety, the nervousness and emotions all swells up as the time advances for child birth. Delivering a baby comes with a lot of tension and stress. This is true for the mother to be as well for the father and at times for the whole family specially when they are expecting their first baby1
