Birth preparation for Single Mothers

Are you pregnant, not in a relationship and not keen to join a birth preparation group course with couples? I totally understand you! Although I always adjust my courses to the people in the group, and doing my best to make sure everyone is feeling included, I do feel it is appropriate to provide a separate course offer for single moms expecting their baby. Here some more information about my thoughts around this.

My offer for Single Mothers

If you want to receive a complete NatalWisdom birth preparation course on an individual basis, I offer three evenings against the same price of the standard group course, being kr3.100. This price includes an extra person if you choose so, more on that below. We will agree on the location where this course will be provided.

Preparing alone or with an extra person?

As part of your preparation process for the birth you will make the decision whether you want to have a companion by your side while you are birthing your baby. This is a very individual choice. It might be a no-brainer for you if and who you would want to bring along, or it might be a hard decision to make.

Besides bringing someone that is close to you, it is also possible to bring a Birth Doula to your birth for emotional support, to bring physical (but not medical) comfort and to hold space for you.

If you are planning to bring someone with you to the birth, I would highly recommend to involve this person in your preparation process. If you book a NatalWisdom birth preparation course you can bring that person with you to the course at no extra cost.

If you are not sure on your decision whether to bring someone with you to the birth, and you feel it would help you to talk to a professional about the pro's and con's, please feel free to reach out to me!

Another option is to do the birth preparation course by yourself, and use the knowledge you gather in the course, to make your decision. If you do decide to bring someone, I will provide you with helpful documents that you can share with that another person, so they can also feel prepared.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or want to discuss.
