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 mainly geared to first-time parents and 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 baby.
If you would like 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.
