Birth Preparation Training

Course summary

The pregnancy phase is a unique stage of life. During this period, the prospective parents go through both joy and happiness. This new way of life forces parents to search for new information. They try to learn how correct their actions are, and share their experiences with others. Therefore, pregnancy preparation classes provide parents with the necessary information

Course definition

Preparing to meet a baby is an experience that not only effects the period of pregnancy and the birth, but also the rest of your life. It is important that parents prepare for this experience to ensure a healthy pregnancy and a healthy birth. If the couples accept birth as a physiological process, and if the woman trusts her body and her baby, this will ensure a natural birth. With sufficient guidance, women can receive quality and efficient care from the preconception period until the end of birth, cope with birth pain and be suitably informed about relaxation techniques.
