Childbirth classes in English

Congratulations on the pregnancy! A special and exciting time for you both, especially with the delivery in anticipation. Maybe you are also worrying about the labour:

  • What to expect?
  • How to cope with contractions and pain?
  • How can my partner support and help during labour?
  • How can we prepare for the birth of our baby together?
  • Is there a class in English instead of Dutch?

Lytse Pop can help you: the Childbirth Classes in English prepares you both in an informative and practical way. You will learn all the what’s and why’s about pregnancy and labour. You will learn and practice different breathing techniques, as well. The partner will be prepared as coach and support. In a relative short time you are well prepared as a team: giving birth with confidence.
