Did you know that, as expectant parents, you have the right to take time off work to participate in parenting education?
What was so valuable about taking a childbirth preparation class was that we got to see how we could use our own home when labor begins. It felt exciting and reassuring to envision, with this new perspective, how we could manage contractions in the shower, on the couch, and in the kitchen. I looked forward to the birth in a completely new way after this class!

We never thought a plan for the earlige phase of labor would make such a big difference. My wife had contractions for two nights before it was time to go to the hospital – and it was incredibly comforting to have a plan for this time!
Thank you for a great class!
- New dad, winter 2022
We loved how hands-on the class was; my partner got to practice giving massages and other things to help me relax and manage pain. I had read many books about childbirth before the class, and I felt this was exactly what we needed to feel confident before our big day.

What is the difference between Birth without fear and Practical prophylaxis course?
What is the difference between our two childbirth preparation courses? Birth without fear (BWF) is a well-established method that offers knowledge about the physiology of birth and provides strategies for how you can together face and manage the labor contractions during childbirth using the four tools of breathing, relaxation, voice and thought. Within BWF, the practical part is decisive for the value of the course - it is when you train together that the best of preparations is created!
Practical prophylaxis (PP) is a private course that can be seen as both an in-depth study and a supplement to BWF, where you gain expanded knowledge about how, based on your individual thoughts, needs and conditions, you can optimally prepare for birth. The focus is on finding out what works for you, exploring how you can use your own home during the latency phase, guidance in formulating a birth letter, discussing birth positions, testing tools such as TENS machine and Rebozo shawl, practicing massage and other pain relief techniques etc.
You can choose to take the courses separately or to take a combo course where you get to take part in the core of both courses with emphasis on your personal preferences. The combo course is four hours and costs SEK 3,200 in your home or SEK 2,800 in our premises in Röstånga. You can use your fitness-allowance for all of our prophylaxis courses.
