Objective: To study the application value of health education during pregnancy for pregnant women. Methods: From January 2021 to March 2022, 112 pregnant women from the Department of Obstetrics and gynecology were selected as the research objects and divided into the management group (pregnancy health education) and the reference group (routine intervention), and the intervention results were compared. Results: The rate of natural childbirth in the management group was higher than that in the reference group (P < 0.05). The breastfeeding rate of the management group was higher than that of the reference group (P < 0.05). The incidence of postpartum depression in the management group was lower than that in the reference group (P < 0.05). The health level of newborns in the management group was higher than that in the reference group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Health education during pregnancy in obstetrics and gynecology nursing can help pregnant women achieve natural delivery, smoothly carry out breastfeeding, reduce the risk of postpartum depression, and improve the health of newborns. It is recommended to promote it.
