Childbirth is a physically and mentally intense moment. With the right preparation you will be stronger. A good course teaches you:
Femme works with several teachers in The Hague: Studio Vansi for pregnancy yoga, Bevallen met Love for birthing course and Loïs Witmond from Childbirth with OERKACHT for hypnobirthing.
There are different types of courses to choose from:
Women usually start a course around 28–32 weeks. Earlier is also allowed, especially if you do something physical such as yoga or pregnancy fitness. For the birth preparation itself, around the third trimester is ideal.
Courses are usually not reimbursed by basic insurance, but are covered by many supplementary insurance policies. Check your policy or ask us.
Rates and reimbursement vary per teacher. Many health insurers reimburse antenatal courses in whole or in part through the supplementary package. Feel free to ask us and we will think along with you.
During your first appointment we will discuss which additional care is useful for you and we will arrange a referral.
