Three-weekly Childbirth Preparation Course

The Three-weekly courses are given face-2-face, in English and with partner.

The best time to start this course is if you are between 30-33 weeks of pregnancy.

This Three-weekly course is a compact version of the Five-weekly course. The major difference with the Five-weekly course is that there is less time for group discussions and rehearsal simply because it is three sessions of two hours. There will be a baby reunion after all your babies have been born if the group is interested.

Course content

In the first session we explain how the Dutch healthcare system works and we practise relaxing breathing and massage exercises 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 and final session we focus on birthing positions and what to expect straight after birth and during the first week.

A baby reunion will be organised after all your babies are born.

The course will be presented by me or my colleague Marlene.  Click for more information: about Marlene
