Abstract :This study aims to evaluate the studies on “pregnant education” searched in the WoSCC database in terms of quantity and quality with bibliometric analysis. In this context, 483 studies conducted between 1980-2022 were reached in the filtering made without year, language and citation index constraints. It was determined that the studies in the related field were between 1980-2022 and the most prolific author was Hyun Kyoung Kim. In addition, it was found that the most publications in this field were in the field of \`Gynecology and Obstetrics\` and the institution with the most publications was \`Iran University of Medical Sciences\`. In the common word analysis, it was seen that the words \`prenatal education, pregnancy, breastfeeding, prenatal care\` were used most frequently, while in the co-citation analysis, it was determined that the most cited author was Anita J. Gagnon. In the co-citation analysis, no link was found between the three most cited publications. In the co-authorship analysis, it was seen that the authors who published together were gathered around a single group. As a result; it was concluded that pregnancy education should be more comprehensive and permanent in line with the demands of individuals to raise awareness about pregnancy, child care and development.
