Abstract. The article is devoted to the traditions of prenatal education in Uzbek culture and their comparison with modern psychological and pedagogical approaches to preparing future parents. The relevance is due to the growing interest in perinatal psychology, the recognition of the decisive role of the intrauterine period in shaping a child’s psyche and behavior, as well as the need to preserve and understand national traditions in the context of modern educational reforms in the Republic of Uzbekistan. The theoretical basis of the work consists of research in the fields of neurobiology, perinatal psychology, and ethnography. The article systematically examines the stages of intrauterine development and the neurobiological mechanisms underlying the formation of the fetus’s behavioral responses, and analyzes the key factors of the prenatal environment (the mother’s emotional state, the sound environment, the nature of nutrition, and lifestyle during pregnancy). Special attention is paid to folk traditions and rituals related to pregnancy and childbirth in Uzbek culture: the «momo» cult, the «chillya» ritual, lullabies, and protective rituals, which have served the function of prenatal education for centuries. The correlation between traditional concepts and the data of modern perinatal psychology and pedagogy shows that folk wisdom is largely in line with the principles of perinatal psychology. Based on the analysis of domestic and foreign sources, recommendations for future mothers and educators have been formulated, and the need to include knowledge about prenatal development in the system of professional training of teaching staff and educational work in the Republic of Uzbekistan has been substantiated.
