What parents say

★★★★★

Suzan’s childbirth course is everything the website claims. An interactive, informative, no-nonsense course that’s entirely based on science and presented with a generous dose of humor. We now feel so much better prepared for what’s to come.

Febbe de Blaeij

★★★★★

A valuable addition to our preparation for childbirth. We received practical tips on what to do, and more importantly what not to do, and how I, as her partner, can best support her.

Conrad Schreuders

★★★★★

With our second daughter almost due, I wanted a last-minute refresher. In one evening, with a cup of tea, I was completely ready for the next birth. Just the right length, clearly structured and full of practical tips.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to take a childbirth course?

You don’t have to, of course, but it’s highly recommended if this is your first baby. About 80% of women take a course during their first pregnancy.

Is this course covered by my insurance?

Most Dutch health insurers reimburse the course if you have supplementary insurance, because Suzan is affiliated with “Samen Bevallen”. After ordering you can download an invoice in your name to send to your insurer.

Why take the course together?

Knowing what happens to your body gives you confidence. Taking the course together means you both know what to expect, and your partner learns how much they can do during the birth.

Can we also take the course for a second pregnancy?

Yes. It’s a great way to refresh your knowledge, and with your first birth behind you, you’ll often pick up things you missed the first time.
