You do know that you, as parents-to-be, have the right to take time off from work to participate in parenting training?
What was so rewarding about taking a practical prophylaxis course was that we got to see how we could use our own home when labor starts. It felt exciting and reassuring to imagine with these new "glasses" how we take the pains in the shower, the sofa and the kitchen. I looked forward to birth in a whole new way after this course!

We never thought a latency phase plan would make such a big difference. My wife was in labor for two nights before it was time to go in - and it was very nice to have a plan for this time!
Thanks for a great course!
- New father winter 2022
We liked that the course was so hands-on; that my partner had to practice giving massages and other things you can do to make me relax and relieve pain. I had read many books about childbirth before the course, and felt that this was exactly what was needed to feel confident before our big day.

My husband and I have attended both Birth without fear and practical prophylaxis with Your Pregnancy Coach. The courses were great and complemented each other. We felt after Feed without fear how important it was with practical exercises and we really got more of this product during practical prophylaxis. A big plus that it was in our home environment!

What is the difference between Birth without fear and Practical prophylaxis course?
Din Gravidcoach's prophylaxis is a private course that can be seen as both an in-depth and a supplement to BWF, where you gain expanded knowledge about how you can optimally prepare for birth based on your individual thoughts, needs and conditions. 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.
Birth without fear (BWF) is a well-established method that offers knowledge about the physiology of childbirth and provides strategies for how you can together face and manage the labor pains during childbirth using the four tools of breathing, relaxation, voice and thought. Within FUR, the practical part is decisive for the value of the course - it is when you train together that the best of preparations is created! Feeding without fear is regularly offered as a group course, see upcoming dates here.
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 three hours and costs SEK 3,500* in your home.
*Please note that a price supplement will be added if the service is booked in the evening, during weekends, or if it is performed outside our specified geographical area (Skåne/southern Halland).
