Welcoming a new life into the world is one of the most meaningful and powerful milestones for a woman and her partner. Preparing well in advance helps you approach the birth experience with greater ease and confidence.

Our childbirth preparation course in Zug is designed for couples and offers a holistic approach led by experienced midwives and certified instructors. The sessions cover everything you need to know about pregnancy, labor, and the early days with your newborn. In addition to providing practical knowledge, you’ll also learn breathing and relaxation techniques to support you through labor and help manage pain more effectively.

The course also creates space for discussion, reflection, and any personal questions you may have about the birthing process and the transition to parenthood.

Still have questions after the course? You’re welcome to join our monthly midwife Q&A session, held on the first Tuesday of each month from 7–8 PM. Participation is free of charge and no registration is required – you can attend anytime up until the birth of your baby.
