Background & Aims: Amount of Cesareans (CS) operation has increased recently among the pregnant women. Due to some reasons such as: after-operation-complications, long convalescence, the high cost of CS operation and easy-acceptance by most of the people, and etc, the natural delivery is recommended. Regarding the above mentioned reasons, it seems that improvement of pregnant women's attitude and medical staff is an efficient factor in choosing the suitable way of delivery. Material & Methods: For this purpose 80 women participated in the study and assigned to two groups of 40 in control and experimental group. Data gathered by a questionnaire. The reliability of this questionnaire was verified by experts and its validity was confirmed by Cronbakh Alpha (0.7). The research methodology was semi experimental, and data collected by using questionnaire before and after delivery training courses, and SPSS 21 was used for analyzing the gathered data .Test of  and one sample T test were conducted after confirming validity and reliability. Results: Regarding the (2-5) table, we conclude that among the attendance of prenatal education classes 8 people (20%) had CS and 32 (80%) chose natural delivery (ND). Comparing none-attendant mothers, 25 people (62/5%) chose CS and 15 people (37/5%) chose ND. Table (2-5) and  test show significance level (p= 0/00) and below 0/05. Therefore, there is a relationship between attending to the classes and choosing ND way. Conclusion: This research shows that education and attending in Prenatal Education Classes (classes of preparation for delivery) have significant effects on choosing of suitable delivery way among pregnant women.
