Vincent with Nils
The classes also help the father to be included in the pregnancy, to understand what is coming and how to deal with it. The partner is therefore very important both in preparation for and during labor. Before labor, you will practice the excercises together. During labor, the partner is someone to ”lean on”, an integral part of a team together with the midwife and her assistant that help and support you. Your partner is the one who knows you the best and can act as your spokesperson when necessary. Afterwards, both of you share the process of becoming parents, the transition from being two to becoming three; which includes much joy, not nearly enough sleep, and the wonders of getting to know this new little creature – your child.
