By setting realistic expectations, you will experience more calm and confidence during the final weeks of your pregnancy. You will encounter fewer surprises during labor, allowing you—or your birth partner—to look back on the entire process with a positive feeling. And that’s what it’s all about: a positive birth experience! No matter how your delivery unfolds, this is an experience you will carry with you for the rest of your life, so it’s important to be prepared.

Kirsty Schellekens, midwife, trainer, and owner of Bevalwijzer Leiden, guides you step by step through the entire birth process in this online pregnancy course. You will gain a realistic understanding of what to expect during labor. Access to the course is available for up to six months after purchase, giving you the flexibility to review the content at your own pace.

During the course, we also focus on the so-called “what if?” scenarios.
What if your labor unfolds differently than you had hoped or expected? For example: what if your cervical dilation stalls? What could be the possible causes? What actions are taken in that situation, and when would a transfer to the hospital occur?

By discussing these scenarios, we ensure that you won’t be caught off guard. You’ll gain a better understanding of why certain advice is given or why different choices may be necessary. This not only helps you move more easily with the situation, but also allows you to maintain control and make well-informed decisions regarding interventions. In this way, you remain actively involved in your birth, no matter what happens.

This course gives you the confidence, knowledge, and practical tools to approach your birth with calm, clarity, and control—no matter how your birth unfolds.

This online birth course is perfect if you want to:

• Professionally and practically prepare for your upcoming delivery
