Frequently asked questions about the group courses
What is the difference between the 4-week, 2-week and 1-day course?
All courses cover the same topics. The 4-week course is the most extensive, with the most time for questions. The 2-week course is complete but a little more focused, with homework between the evenings. The 1-day course is a crash course in which some topics are covered more briefly.
When is the best time to start?
Between week 27 and 34 of pregnancy, but above all choose what feels right. The 1-day and private courses are also great later in pregnancy.
Is the pregnancy course reimbursed?
If you have supplementary insurance, the course is often (partly) reimbursed. You receive a certificate of participation afterwards to send in. Check your policy for the exact amount.
Is this a hypnobirthing course?
Not a regular one. It is a complete pregnancy course by midwives, with tools from hypnobirthing and mindfulness such as breathing, visualisations and affirmations.
Is the course also useful for a hospital birth or caesarean?
Yes. We prepare you for every scenario, at home and in hospital, including when things go differently than hoped.
Can I take the course without a partner?
The course is written for the pregnant person with a partner, but that does not have to be your romantic partner. A friend, sister or mother is fine too.
