Birth preparation

We all have an idea of what birth is like based on family stories, friends’ experiences, or our own. We try to inform ourselves from many sources — today the media makes information available through countless channels. It’s easy to get lost in the flood of information, and while most maternity institutions offer classes, in many cases they provide only general information with limited time for individual questions and preferences. Before becoming a family it’s especially important to have the right quantity and quality of information. Good preparation increases confidence and reduces fear, helping you feel more competent and making it easier to attune to one of the most important events of your life.
