Midwife Mette Harpsøe-Eriksen, who has worked as a midwife since 2007, leads this course for expectant parents and their partners. The sessions combine teaching with practical exercises, focusing on the body and breathing during labour, and there is room for questions and discussion throughout.
Topics covered include the normal course of labour, the early and active phases, contractions and breathing, and why movement during labour matters. The course also introduces different options for pain relief, explains what to expect with breastfeeding, and looks at the first weeks with a newborn, including signs of wellbeing and the importance of rest in the postnatal period. Partners are welcome at every session.
