Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Proportion of patients showing an improvement in knowledge score after education. Improvement defined as a 3 or more point improvement.Timepoint: Outcome measurement+knowledge score assessment)done at 1) Baseline (before intervention) 2) Post education 3) After 2 weeks	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Change in knowledge score in both groups.Timepoint: Difference in pre intervention (Baseline)and post intervention knowledge score (1-2 weeks later);Change in anxiety levels before and after the educational intervention using VAS-A scaleTimepoint: Difference in pre intervention (Baseline)and post intervention VAS-A score (1-2 weeks later);Post intervention anxiety levels between the two groups using VAS-A scaleTimepoint: VAS-A score recoreded at 1-2 weeks after intervention;Patient satisfaction between the two groups using Likert scaleTimepoint: Satisfaction score recoreded at 1-2 weeks after intervention using Likert scale (0-5);Post intervention knowledge score in both groupsTimepoint: Knowledge score recorded at 1-2 weeks after intervention;The following details will be noted Mode of delivery Indication if LSCS Epidural taken: Y/N Peripartum complication (if any) Timepoint: After delivery follow up	—
