Weekend Birth Preparation – Intensive & Practical
Birth is an intense experience—both physically and emotionally. In this weekend course, you’ll receive everything you need in a short amount of time to feel confident and well-prepared for the birth of your baby.
I’m Laura, a midwife and mother of two, with many years of experience in both clinical and out-of-hospital birth care. I will guide you through this course with a mix of knowledge, practical exercises, and honest conversations—mindfully, supportively, and with plenty of space for your questions.
What to expect:
- How birth works: What happens in the body—explained realistically and clearly
- Breathing & relaxation techniques: Find calm, release tension, and actively support the birth process
- Support from partners or companions: Hands-on tools—from massage to emotional presence
- Separate sessions for birthing people and companions: A safe space to share and ask personal questions
- Postpartum & breastfeeding: What to expect after birth, how to recover well, and grow together as a family
When & Where:
Location: Midwifery practice, Tauroggenerstraße 43, 10589 Berlin
Time: Saturday & Sunday, from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm
Snacks will be provided, and we’ll take a longer lunch break to relax and eat.
Who is this course for?
This course is open to all pregnant people—with or without a companion. Whether you come with a partner, friend, or family member—or attend on your own—you are warmly welcome.
What to bring:
Comfortable clothing, something to drink, a notebook & a blanket if you like—anything that helps you feel at ease. Yoga mats and cushions are provided.
Costs & Insurance:
The course fee for the pregnant participant is usually fully covered by public or private health insurance.
Birth companions pay €120, and in many cases, about 80% of this amount is reimbursed by their insurance provider. It's a good idea to check with your insurance in advance.
I´m looking forward to support you on your journey into birth and parenthood.
