Prenatal classes

What?

Together with other couples we will go on a road to discover the changes in emotions and relationships entailed in becoming parents. The classes will increase your confidence about what to expect during pregnancy, labour, birth, breastfeeding and the weeks following birth so that you will feel confident in making informed choices for yourself. We work with groups of max. 5 couples or duos, so there is enough time and space for questions and interactivity.
We also introduce you to the basic Dutch terminology regarding pregnancy, birth and baby care that are used by your caregivers (hospital, gynaecologist, …).

For who?

Pregnant women with partner or companion. The ideal time to start is around your 5th or 6th month of pregnancy.
