According Dutch government guidelines childbirth classes are necessary and cannot be postponed, so it is allowed to present this class face-to-face. Maximum 6 couples in the room to guarantee the 1½ meter distance.
Three-weekly course:
To optimise the ventilation in the classroom, we have invested in a CleanAir Optima ventilation system with UV light that kills bacteria and viruses. We advise you to wear a face mask upon entering the front door and while moving around in the classroom. While seated during the workshop, face masks may be removed if you wish.
Three-weekly Childbirth Preparation Course
This Three-weekly course is a compact version of the Five-weekly course. 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 Annet Coumou
an experienced Dutch midwife and coach.
