Want to learn all the things about birth in one all day session among your peers? Our Dutch Difference Group Antenatal Class discusses all things pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum during one weekend day.

You might be wondering, “What’s antenatal?” I hear you, it’s a bit of a science-y technical term. Antenatal refers to the time period from conception through birth and is a large part of our focus during our classes. We also cover breastfeeding and postpartum so you’ll be fully equipped to approach the next months with confidence.

For all the deets, see below.

All the Details:

Pregnant in the Dutch healthcare system? The Dutch Difference Group Antenatal Class gives you an idea of the basic differences and unique aspects of the Dutch healthcare system as well as an overview of the key players and contacts you will have throughout pregnancy. We dive into to the unique specifics of how the country works when it comes to pregnancy and birth including details about the medical vs. natural tracks, testing and preventative care, everything you need to know about creating a birth plan here, all things about your soon-to-be bestie the kraamzorg and how to find the right one for you; challenges of the system and how to overcome them, common quirks and busting rumors, and give you a lay of land for who you contact during post-partum for you and baby. We also cover all the basics of the physiology of pregnancy, labor, birth, postpartum as well as discuss breastfeeding and the basics of caring for your new arrival.

Is This Class For Me?

Booking a PFB group antenatal class is the right fit for you if you are looking to:

· Meet other expectant mothers having similar experiences as you. You may even leave with a new friend.

· Learn from others questions, comments and experiences. Someone may ask a question you haven’t thought of that could lead to a super valuable group discussion

· Take a birthing class without your partner. Our group courses are for birthing persons only. We’ve found having a class of only birthing persons makes no topic off limits and conversations are much more free. Plus, we have a module of our curriculum that focuses on what you can and cannot expect from your birth partner. Part of that module is creating and communication expectations. We’ve found mamas get much more out of this conversation when it’s exclusively discussed among their peers. If you’d like to take a class with your partner, we offer our private antenatal class here.

· These classes are a more budget friendly price point
