Three-weekly Childbirth Preparation Course

We offer face-to-face and ONLINE courses

Keeping in mind your health and that of your unborn child, as well as Dutch government guidelines, the live face-to-face Childbirth Preparation Classes will be in small groups (max 6 couples, but mail me when fully booked, we will find new dates).
To accommodate enough couples we also offer the course live in a virtual environment.

Three-weekly Childbirth Preparation Course

For the online version I made videos of all the exercises and things we normally demonstrate. The content will be the same as the face-to-face course.

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

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 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 my colleague Marieke Wildeman,
an experienced Dutch midwife.
