There are 6 weekly meetings, either in Greek or English, for mothers and fathers to inform, empower, prepare the couple for both pregnancy, childbirth and parenthood. It is suggested to start the sessions after the B-level ultrasound at 20-24 weeks of pregnancy, without this meaning that a couple can not begin preparation later.

Each meeting has a theoretical and practical part. In the theoretical part we discuss the female body and the changes that occur during pregnancy and childbirth, symptoms of preparation and ways of starting a childbirth, its stages and its development. We also discuss how to deal with pain, breastfeeding, nursing and care for the newborn and the mother.

The practical part includes relaxation and breathing techniques that we use in pregnancy and childbirth, preparation of the perineum and pelvis for breastfeeding, breasts for breastfeeding and our meetings are completed with care of the newborn with a real doll.

• Internships or labor
• Positions of birth
• Analgesia methods

The lessons will encourage, support, prepare for delivery, make you feel confident that “you can do it”, and help you through the transition to parenthood. They are an opportunity for your partners to receive advice on how they can help you at the time of delivery, by practicing labor positions, breathing techniques, and more. Also, you can learn practical post-partum tips that will help you enjoy the first weeks at home with your newborn, like bonding, and post-natal care.
