The purpose of this study was to clarify what kinds of information concerning childbirth were sent to the present pregnant woman from their mother's generation, and how these information affected affected their behavior. Two hundred and ten cases of the mother's generation and one hundred and eightynine cases of the reproducing generation were studied by using a demographic questionnaire about basic maternal health behavior. Results were indicated as follows. 1. There were no significant differences between two generations concerning birthplaces and methods of delivery, whereas the contents of birth education became diverse and abundant during the past 20 years. 2. The greater part of each generation chose the birthplace, simply because of closeness to her or her parents' residence. 3. The mother's generation sent a message of passive mental attitude to the reproducing generation, which seemed to affect the behavior of the present pregnant women. 4. Information concerning childbirth in the individual obstetrical facilities was cut off between these two generations. Each facility was requested to offer the proper information concerning childbirth in order to facilitate the self-determined behavior of pregnant women and the effective participation of midwives, was also needed.
