Abstract: Teaching about pregnancy in a childbearing (ie, maternity or obstetrical) nursing course can be challenging because experiences with pregnant families are not easy to find. Educators are aware that active learning is more effective than passive learning,1 but when hands-on learning opportunities are not readily available, role playing or simulations are useful. While redesigning an undergraduate childbearing family course, the author sought to include a learning experience that would help nursing students understand the complex psychological and physical transition to parenthood that new parents face.
