Birth preparation courses
Mom & Co
The Mom & Co pregnancy courses prepare you and your partner thoroughly for the birth of your baby—realistic, confident, and positive.
The courses are taught by experienced midwives and combine medical knowledge with hypnobirthing and mindfulness. You’ll develop a positive mindset and become a pro at relaxation.
Through the course, you’ll learn to move with the rhythm of your labour, whether it takes place at home or in the hospital.
Because while we can’t control how a birth unfolds, we can control how we respond to it—together.
Bevalwijzer
At Bevalwijzer, they believe that having a realistic view of your birth and postpartum period helps you make choices that truly fit you and your situation. This means fewer surprises—and a greater chance of looking back on the experience with a positive feeling.
Their goal is to guide you toward a positive birth and postpartum experience. Not an old-fashioned breathing class, but a course that offers the right mix of information, tips, tools, and hands-on knowledge.
In addition to the physical side, the course also focuses on the mental aspect of giving birth. Because while your body knows what to do, your mind needs to be on board too.
This will help you let go and trust—in yourself, the process, your baby, your birth partner, and your birth team—on the big day.

Info evening Amstelland
Information Evening at Amstelland Hospital – Giving Birth in the Hospital
Amstelland Hospital regularly organizes information evenings for pregnant women and their partners about giving birth at our hospital.
The evening is hosted by one of our gynecologists, together with a nurse. You will receive information about labour and delivery, as well as hospital admission procedures.
If the maternity ward is not too busy, we will also provide a tour of the department and birthing rooms.
Attending the evening is free of charge and comes with no obligation.
We kindly ask you to register via our website once you are 28 weeks pregnant or more.
Online geboorte Academie
It’s an exciting, yet also a nerve-wracking time.
Maybe this is your first pregnancy and everything is new to you. Or perhaps you’ve given birth before, yet you still never know exactly what to expect.
Either way, you’ve probably landed on my website because you want to prepare for your birth.
And maybe you’re still wondering whether an online course is the right choice for you.
Give birth with confidence
The course “On the Road to Your Birth” guides you through the entire birth process in just one evening or morning, whether or not you have a medical indication.
It’s a practical and complete course for you and your partner, filled with real-life examples from delivery room experiences.
Naturally, the online version of the course is just as interactive and personal, with plenty of room for questions.
Individual courses are available throughout the Netherlands.
A good preparation brings calm and confidence.
