Childbirth Preparation

1. Childbirth Preparation Class

In our childbirth preparation class, we prepare you and your partner for the challenges of the final weeks of pregnancy, the birth itself, and the first few hours afterward. You’ll receive information about the onset of labor, support methods, and birthing positions, and you’ll learn breathing and relaxation techniques. Sessions are held once a month via Zoom and at the Midwifery Center (Building 13) of the Evangelical Waldkrankenhaus Spandau.

Here you’ll find information about our classes. 

2. Hypnobirthing Course

Hypnosis during pregnancy and childbirth is one of the most effective methods of psychological birth preparation. This course offers many benefits, such as an easier birth and a reduction in anxiety, stress, and pain. Practicing self-hypnosis helps you look forward to the birth of your child with greater calm, anticipation, and confidence.

When: Classes begin on the first Tuesday of every month, 6:00–7:30 p.m.
Where: At the Midwifery Center (Building 13) of the Evangelical Waldkrankenhaus Spandau
Cost: €150 for 3 × 90-minute sessions on Tuesdays; partners are welcome to attend
