The online lecture Contractions and labour pain will help you understand the physiology of contractions and labour pain, and above all how you can help yourself so you can work with it as well as possible during labour. I recommend watching it together with your partner and practising the techniques shown. You can complement it with the online lecture Birth positions. The four-hour online lecture is divided into two parts.

Part one: Contractions and labour pain, where several short videos will help you understand:

• what a contraction is
• what labour pain is and what it depends on
• pharmacological ways to relieve labour pain
• non-pharmacological ways to relieve labour pain
• assessing labour pain

Part two: Comfort measures during labour, where you will learn different non-pharmacological techniques for relieving labour pain:

• different non-pharmacological techniques for relieving labour pain
• the role of the birth partner
• lots of tricks and tips for an easier and more positive birth experience

All of this content is also included in the online lecture Birth. The advantage of online lectures is that you can choose when, where, and how much content you want to watch.

*you have access to the content for 14 weeks.

Lecture supported with subtitles (SL / EN / HR)

If you want thorough, comprehensive preparation for birth and parenthood, and to be guided and supported throughout the whole process with live sessions from me, then you’re warmly invited to A slightly different School for Parents.
