Preparing for Birth Together – a course full of knowledge, connection & confidence
Welcoming a baby into your life is one of the most special events you’ll ever experience. It’s a day you can’t repeat – often more intense and moving than you could have imagined. But how do you prepare for something so big, unpredictable, and emotional?
This birth preparation course helps you face this new chapter with knowledge, confidence, and a touch of humor. In just one day, we guide you through the world of birth and postpartum – not heavy or preachy, but warm, practical, and personal.
What makes this course different?
•You’re in it together
Birth is something you experience as a couple. From my experience as a midwife, I know and see that partners that are well prepared are better able to support in a present and competent way. This course gives both of you the tools and insights you need.
•Knowledge that truly helps
From the physiology of birth (what exactly is happening in that amazing body of yours?) to pain coping, birthing positions, and acupressure – you’ll learn to understand what’s going on and how you can actively support the process.
•Autonomy and choice
Birth is also about being in charge: knowing your rights, exploring your options, and making sure the experience aligns with your wishes.
•Relaxed and fun
Yes, we cover serious topics. But there’s always room for laughter! We believe learning works best in a lighthearted, friendly setting – with a delicious lunch included.
