The programs of education and training for labor and delivery designed for women using psychomatic methods have been considered as inefficients. The goal of this work is to identify preconceived ideas held by the pregnant couple about labor and delivery, making it possible to redirect prenatal orientation classes and to deal with the couple as an unit, helping them to have the experience that they want. The ideas about labor and delivery were emitted by the couple during the group classes using brainstorming technique (OSBORN, 1957). Labor and delivery was identified as a biological process inherent to women, bringing up varied and ambivalent emotions for both sex besides to constitute a time of social consolidation of roles for both parents. Concluding, labor and delivery is a critical period that brings biological, psychological and social reactions, being essential that in the classes given, the meaning of it should be considered.
