Our live, online response to the Corona virus: we are flexible!
15% discount on all online courses in April & May 2020!
Keeping in mind your health and that of your unborn child, as well as Dutch government guidelines, we have decided to offer live Childbirth Preparation Classes in a virtual environment, instead of just ‘cancelling’ or ‘postponing’ our courses.
We know that you, as future parents, need information and reassurance, want to connect to others, and prepare for your new lives. We are doing what we can to ensure that!
After registration and nearer to the start of the course, we will send you details of how to login to the Childbirth Class Gale Zoom webinar from the comfort and safety of your own home. Join us!
Three-hour course
A three-hour information session in English for expectant mothers (over 26 weeks pregnant) and their partners to prepare for the birth of their baby.
This course is especially relevant if you want your partner to know more about your childbirth and understand how you can best be helped, or as a refresher course if this is your second or third baby.
In case you want to attend this course without your birth partner, please contact me directly by sending me an email.
Subjects to be handled
- How the health system treats childbirth in the Netherlands
- Dilation, amniotic fluid; when to call the midwife or hospital
- Attitude towards contractions and labour pains. Pain relief possibilities
- Different ways to cope with labour and how your partner can support you
The course will be presented by my colleague Marieke Wildeman,
an experienced Dutch midwife.
