Private prophylaxis course
Giving birth and supporting
Giving birth is a physically and psychologically transformative experience. With preparation and concrete tools, it is easier to meet the intensity.
As a support person, it is also common to feel anxious about not being enough or not knowing what to do to truly support and assist the person giving birth.
In such cases, it can be comforting to receive concrete tools and the opportunity to practice together before the time comes.
A common misconception is that prophylaxis means a certain way of breathing, but the word prophylaxis means preparation for something.
Our course is a childbirth preparation course that borrows the best from a range of different methods and techniques, based on our experience as doulas regarding what works.
In this course, we will cover:
- Physiology and anatomy of birth
- Hormones & the nervous system during labor
- How the body's own pain relief system works
- The support person's role, tools, and techniques
- Massage techniques, pressure, and acupressure
- Breathing and relaxation techniques
- Natural and medical pain relief methods
- Mental coping techniques
- Birth space - how we create a safe environment and atmosphere during birth
- Fearless birth's four tools
- Hypnobirthing
- Positions and movements that create space in the pelvis
- The basic exercises in Active Baby/Spinning Babies
Practical information
We highly recommend a private antenatal class with a doula as preparation for birth.
The advantage is that the course can be tailored to your unique personalities and your conditions and wishes for the birth.
There is also a greater opportunity to talk about thoughts, worries, or fears.
Having the course at home also makes it possible to practice in that environment and with the things and furniture you have at home, where you often spend the latency phase.

common questions
Can I use my wellness allowance?
Absolutely, the course is eligible for wellness benefits, and you can use up to SEK 1,000 per person per occasion. If there are two of you, you can each use SEK 1,000.
We will send a receipt after payment stating that the course is eligible for wellness benefits.
Can my partner also use the wellness benefit?
Yes, a partner or another support person who takes the course with you can also use wellness benefits. It is possible to use up to SEK 1,000 per person.
Can I book the course as a standalone?
Yes, absolutely. You can take the course together with a support person (for example, a partner, relative or friend) who will be with you during childbirth.
It is also fine to take the course alone if you plan to give birth with the support of hospital staff.
When in your pregnancy is it appropriate to take the course?
There is no time that is too early or too late to take the course, but most people choose to take it between weeks 20â34 of pregnancy.
If you experience fear of childbirth, it may be a good idea to book the course a little earlier, as many people find that their worry and fear decrease after the course.
Is any time too late to book the course?
No, it's never too late to book if you haven't given birth yet, as long as there is availability.
We always do our best to book and conduct the course as soon as possible so we can finish before labor starts.
