Four-weekly Childbirth Preparation Course (in English)
only offered ONLINE.
At this moment we are no longer offering this online course,
Recent feedback from the popular Three-weekly Childbirth Preparation Course indicates there is a demand for more detailed and new information about medical interventions (like induction or waterbirth), and about what happens after the birth. So we have introduced a new Four-weekly Childbirth Preparation Course. The ‘extra’ lesson also enables you to spend more time interacting with other expectant couples in breakout rooms.
In this Four-weekly course you are actually going to practise breathing and massage exercises, and birthing positions yourself. With the help of videos we demonstrate the massage and breathing exercises.
This course also seems to be useful if you miss a lesson in the Five- or Three-weekly course to catch up.
Another difference is: you are free to organise your own baby reunion. (We encourage you to make a WhatsApp group to stay in contact with other couples).
Subjects to be handled
- In the first session we explain how the Dutch healthcare system works and we practise relaxing breathing and massage exercise in the first stages of your birth. When do you call the midwife or hospital?
- In the second session we do more breathing exercises for the advanced stages of your birth and cover a number of back massage and relaxing techniques, in other words: we practise together how your partner can support you. We also talk about various pain-relief possibilities.
- In the third lesson we focus on birthing positions and show a birthing film.
- The fourth and last session: more detail on extra subjects raised in class, what to expect straight after birth and during the first week. Rehearsal with Q&A.
The course will be presented by my colleague Annet Coumou, experienced Dutch midwife and coach.
