Pregnancy is an exciting time, full of physical and emotional changes.
Pregnant women, as well as their partners, often have questions about these changes, as well as the upcoming birth.
We believe that mothers and couples who are well-informed and prepared with skills and strategies will have the strength and confidence for a calm and satisfying period of pregnancy, labor and motherhood.
Our prenatal meetings aim to empower, through knowledge, objective information and good psychophysical preparation.
