Childbirth Class Gale

At the end of your course you feel more confident about having your baby in the Netherlands.

Course content
In these informative and interactive workshops we discuss the Dutch healthcare system. We practise breathing exercises, massage techniques and birthing positions, helpful in the various stages of labour. Your partner learns about the dos and don’ts and the best way to support you. We discuss pain relief options so you can make informed choices. And what a wonderful opportunity to meet other expectant expat couples in the same phase of life!
