ANTENATAL CLASSES in ENGLISH – ONE DAY

We invite you to take part in our childbirth classes designed to deliver
you knowledge on childbirth, postpartum as well as nursing and care for
newborn baby. We not only pass on to you information concerning rules and conditions of our obstetrics wards but also try to deepen your intimate
relationship with your body and baby inside your womb. We’ll help you to
prepare for an active childbirth that flows with individual body rythm.
As much as we strongly believe in the power of natural birth
and parenthood we also do realize that they sometimes need to be supported with medical tools and practises. Together with our participants we’ ll consider how to accept childbirth situations that go far beyond our
expectations. Moreover, we share our experience of assisting women giving birth at hospitals, birth centres and homes.

We do believe that thanks to the classes our participants do feel safer
when approaching the new experience of child birth and parenthood.
