Birth Preparation
After this birth preparation course in Luxembourg you (and your partner, if they wish to attend as well) will have a clear idea of what you can expect during labour and birth; figure out how you would like to experience this unique moment and receive practical tools on how to cope with pain, as well as how your partner can support you during this time.
Birth is Movement: navigate & enjoy your labor and birth
This is a birth preparation course thought to give you tools to be able to live fully that unique moment. We will learn about the physiology of birth and how to facilitate its natural development, as well as confort techniques and the importance of movement. We will get moving, learn to recognize our pelvis and experiment with different props and positions.
This course is a mixture of both theory and practice. The theory will be covered partially in recorded videos that will be send to the participants upon registration, and partially during the in-person course. The practical part will focus on experimenting with an array of tools to help cope with pain and discomfort though motion, changing positions, and the use of elements like birth balls, suspensions, rebozos, partners hands, etc. In particular, we will learn to recognize our pelvis and understand how we can modify its shape through motion and, with that knowledge, try out different positions that can be used during labor and birth.
The outline of the course is the following:
- Physiology of natural birth (online, recorded format)
- The role of pain & physiological analgesia
- The female pelvis
- Birthing positions and movement
- Medical procedures and interventions
- Writing a Birth Plan

Here are some comments from parents who attended the course:
It was a very informative and useful course, information was straight to the point – concise and clear, all questions have been answered and I have asked a lot of questions:), friendly environment, new good ideas for the birth plan, we practiced the positions that can be used during labour. It is a great course, I totally recommend to participate!
A great course to give you clarity and understanding on possible interventions and different positions to support yourself and baby during delivery.
Indispensable for anyone expecting a baby or whose partner is. Regardless of what type of birth you may have this course will help you feel prepared and more in control, aware of options and overall ready! Definitely a must, would really recommend doing this with your partner.
Great workshop that apart of being full of practical techniques, that help to prepare for the birth, also contains a rich theoretical part covering all the main questions that are crucial to understand during pregnancy. Many thanks for your guidance and support Belén!
My partner and I really enjoyed the course (even though it is not our first birth!) Even if you already know about birth and giving birth in Luxembourg, it’s very useful to have an in-person experience to refresh your memory and build up your confidence so you know more how to advocate for yourself and feel prepared for the birth you want.
