Course content and duration
The total duration of the course is approximately 6 hours. he course is divided into two parts. 

First we will discuss the WHAT part of the delivery in which we discuss all the different stages of the delivery and what is things go differently than 'normal' in those phases? We will talk about the  contractions, the hormones, the guidance during birth, location of birth, etc.

During the second part, we will get into the HOW part. So we will give you, with all the information we discussed in the WHAT part, give you different techniques on how to deal with those contractions. How can you relax on a physical, mental and medicinally level? And also: how can your birth partner support you during this process? And how does relaxation or anxiety/stress influence the hormonal loop?

We explain all the information through videos and audio. You can download a handout after completing the course so that you can read all the information again.

The duration of the different modules is 50/50. So approximately 3 hours about the WHAT of the delivery and 3 hours about the HOW. 

And don't underestimate: this is important information before the HOW part. This information provides knowledge and insights that are necessary for realistic expectations about the process. All this information reduces the chance of surprises during your birth and this increases the chance of a positive birth experience. The HOW part that follows also has a total duration of about 3 hours.
