A fantastic course! Lots of concrete, evidence-based information and practical tips that you can really use as a man too. The instructor has loads of energy and humour, which keeps everyone’s attention. It truly gave me good preparation and a realistic picture of the upcoming birth.

Reviews
Kind words from parents
These reviews were left on Google for Bevallingscursus, Suzan’s childbirth classes in the Netherlands. Many parents took the class in person; the online course covers the same content. We translated the reviews from Dutch. You can read the originals on Google.
We really enjoyed the childbirth course. The session lasted 3 hours, but the time flew by. It wasn’t an “airy-fairy” session; you really learn how best to cope at the moment of giving birth. Nice that it was interactive too, and the way she uses her voice keeps it engaging and captivating. Suzanne was truly great!!
Took the childbirth course with my boyfriend last weekend, highly recommended! Also because my boyfriend finds it nice and important that it was all evidence-based, haha. Among other things, we learned how the hormones work, the different stages of labour, how best to prepare yourself and how to stay as relaxed as possible during the birth. We would recommend it to everyone!
A really pleasant and practical course. Very valuable that the underlying theory is explained too, so you understand why a certain approach does or doesn’t help.
My partner and I took Suzan’s course last Saturday. Super clear explanations with concrete examples. Thankfully it wasn’t a huffing-and-puffing class at all, but very practical and evidence-based. We were very happy with it and definitely recommend this course!
Pregnant with my first baby and took the course with Suzan together with my boyfriend… I wish everyone a Suzan! What a lovely woman, with an incredible amount of knowledge. She presents it in a light and funny way; it’s enlightening, scientific and also easy to apply. Very clear information for my boyfriend too. No rocket science and nothing airy-fairy, but soon we’ll go into the birth full of confidence. Thank you Suzan, you’re amazing!
Light-hearted, clear childbirth course with a good dose of humour. Interesting to understand the role of the different hormones and to learn what you can do for the smoothest possible birth.
Suzan’s childbirth course: to the point, not too long, complete, man-proof and with a healthy dose of humour. Very satisfied.
We found the childbirth course very pleasant. The atmosphere was incredibly friendly, not airy-fairy, and the information was explained very clearly. Although we actually knew most of the information already, the course was the perfect way for us to dot the i’s. It gave us that extra bit of preparation for what’s to come. The practical tips & tricks for during labour in particular were a very valuable addition. Recommended if you want to go into the birth well prepared and with confidence!
I can recommend this childbirth course to all first-time parents. Suzan is hugely enthusiastic and driven in her field and has so much knowledge to share in a fun, down-to-earth, interactive way. Not a yoga-mat breathing session, but an interesting scientific approach from the start to the end of labour. Both my partner and I learned an enormous amount and are now more prepared than expected to welcome our little one! So many scientifically proven details, really handy tips, fun interaction with the group, I had a great time! Thanks for the fun morning/afternoon, Suzan!
Clear information. Nice and concise. It was presented in a fun way, with useful tips, and it was interactive. We laughed a lot too. The time flew by and I can still explain the information afterwards. We took this course for the second time. As a refresher, but we also knew the course was good, the information useful and the length just right. Suzan simply does this incredibly well.
If you’re looking for a pregnancy course that is based on facts and gives you practical tips, Suzan is the right place! Suzan’s course is clear and interactive. My partner and I learned a lot from it!
Not the standard breathing-and-positions course! Suzan shared very useful, scientific information about what your body does during birth, the hormones involved and how you can influence those hormones. The partner was also well involved and given important information about what he can do during the birth. Honestly, I feel much better prepared for the birth, because I know beforehand how I can influence it (positively) myself. A course I definitely recommend.
Very educational childbirth course. We really liked that all the information was evidence-based. Recommended!
My partner and I took the childbirth course together. The explanations were good and clear, we laughed a lot and the information shared was easy to understand. Thanks to the tips we were given, we now know better what to expect. The course wasn’t airy-fairy at all, and I recommend everyone take this course.
Today my partner and I took Suzan’s childbirth course, and we learned so much! The three hours fly by and it’s incredibly educational. We thought we had already read up on the birth fairly well, but today we got so many new and genuinely usable tips and tricks that we now really feel well prepared. We went through the stages of labour, the different types of pain relief, what you can and can’t eat/drink, but above all how to go into it as relaxed as possible and stay that way. This course is really interesting for men too. My partner now knows everything he can do to make it as comfortable as possible for me during the birth, what stages there are and what…
Very valuable course, factual information based on scientific research. It was a pleasant morning in which we were taken through everything about giving birth. Thank you, Suzan!
We are extremely happy with this childbirth course! Everything was explained in a practical, clear and to-the-point way, with just the right dose of humour. That kept it interesting and it was also really fun to follow. We learned a huge amount and feel much better prepared for the birth. Highly recommended!
I took the childbirth course with Suzan together with my partner. We both found it really pleasant. We got a lot of information, but because it was done interactively it never became information overload. Suzan also involves the partners well, which I personally really liked. There was plenty of room for questions. No question was too much and she really took the time to answer them. I would absolutely recommend this course. Especially if you’re afraid it will be airy-fairy or awkward, I’d definitely do it. It was actually very light-hearted and relaxed!
Took the childbirth course with Suzan. Nice interaction with the group and not an “airy-fairy” course. Suzan creates a pleasant atmosphere during the course. Definitely useful and recommended!
What a fun course! Tells you clearly how it is and what to expect. And a woman with a sense of humour!
Suzan goes through the course with wonderful energy. Her story has pace and humour, so there’s no chance to drift off. She also covers all the important topics and makes room for rounds of questions. The course itself is clear and no-nonsense. Recommended!
Practical, informative and interactive childbirth course. The basics you need, clearly explained in a few hours. Not airy-fairy, just to the point. Definitely recommended!
Very nice course, lots of practical information explained in an understandable way. The tips were aimed at both the women and the men. The length of the course was just fine.
So glad we came here for good preparation! The course was very practical, informative and thankfully not airy-fairy. It was an enjoyable afternoon where everything was explained clearly. I’d recommend this course to anyone who wants to prepare well for the birth! 🥰
We took a childbirth course with Suzan! The course is full of theory we can really use. Suzan does this with a sense of humour and fun examples along the way, which keeps it light and makes sure everything sticks. Thank you so much for this educational afternoon!
Pleasant and educational course. Nice and sensible, down to earth, and all the information is scientifically proven. Thank you!
Fun and informative childbirth course, super educational with very handy practical tips. Absolutely not “airy-fairy”. I’d recommend Suzan to everyone!
This course is really recommended if you don’t like airy-fairy childbirth courses. Suzan is above all very down to earth and explains everything clearly, step by step. I’m glad I took this course and will definitely recommend it to all our loved ones. After this course I have much more confidence in the birth that’s coming.
We’re so glad we took this pregnancy course with Susan. We learned an enormous amount and feel much better prepared for the birth! What we especially appreciated is her down-to-earth approach: no fuss or airy-fairy stories, but clear explanations based on scientific facts. She tells it in an engaging, enthusiastic way and knows how to make complex topics understandable. An absolute must for anyone who wants to prepare well and realistically for the birth!
A really fun, lively and informative childbirth course. Highly recommended if you’re looking for practical tools for during labour, delivered in a down-to-earth, personal and humorous way. Suzan creates a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere from the very first moment. After the round of introductions she knows all participants by name straight away, so you immediately feel at ease. She explains everything clearly, takes time for questions and combines valuable information with plenty of humour. As a result you go in not only well prepared, but also with more confidence and a positive feeling about the birth.
We really enjoyed taking part in the childbirth course. Even though we’re expecting our second baby, it was nice to have a refresher. If you’re looking for a course from a down-to-earth, enthusiastic instructor with a lot of expertise, this is definitely the course for you! (Also for a second baby)
It’s a really fun, interactive course. Lots of information and definitely not airy-fairy.
We took Suzan’s childbirth course together. The course is really recommended. Instead of superficial airy-fairy talk, Suzan gives you a well-founded scientific overview of everything that happens around the birth. She also shares tips on how best to prepare, and what you absolutely should and shouldn’t do during labour. Suzan shares these insights in an informal, humorous way. That makes what she says really stick. In short: definitely do it!
Susan brings every aspect of childbirth to light in a humorous yet bite-sized way. Very useful tips for both the woman and the man! Recommended!
We had a great experience during Suzan’s childbirth course! She took us from A to Z through everything you can expect before and during the birth, in a clear and understandable way. It was really fun to learn more about this special process this way. We also got lots of practical tips we can really use. Thanks to the course we’re both going into the birth with much more confidence. Thank you so much, Suzan!
