Spring 2020: during the corona crisis, online birth preparation is the only way to adequately prepare for the birth of a child. The risk of infection is extremely high and the government has shut down all social life. Of course, this also affects pregnant women who are now wondering how to prepare for their little miracle. Katharina Jescheke, midwife and founder of notdiensthebamme.dehas thought ahead and put a birth preparation course online. In over 30 video lessons, midwife Katharina answers all your questions about childbirth.
Online birth preparation - Our offer for you
You may be wondering why you should take a birth preparation course online? It's better if you can speak directly to your midwife on site. The advantage of an online course is that you can repeat all the content at any time. Because let's be honest: a regular antenatal course takes place over a weekend or several evenings. It takes place with several couples who all have questions. Maybe you already have a child and your head is not in the game. With online antenatal classes, you can repeat all the content whenever it fits into your daily schedule.
Also with the Birth preparation there are new techniques, which is why we regularly adapt the content of our online antenatal classes. Of course, midwife Katharina discusses all the important topics so that you are both as well prepared as possible for the birth of your child.
Online birth preparation is modern, safe and simple
Midwife Katharina will teach you the specialist knowledge you need to bring your child into the world in the online antenatal course. Of course, she will also explain what medical options are available to help you and your baby if necessary.
You will learn techniques and ways of dealing with the pain of labour so that it does not paralyse you.
More information about birth preparation online
The online birth preparation course also helps you to make decisions. Because as soon as your baby is born, many medical prophylactic measures are due. It is important that you understand why these need to be carried out. Then you can make good and competent decisions for you and your baby.
Birth preparation as an online course: the most important questions & answers
Do I have personal contact with midwife Katharina?
Of course! If you want to prepare for labour online, you don't have to do without the personal and important contact with a midwife. You will be given access to a private Facebook group. Here, our midwife will regularly answer questions and even be there for you live. You can also support each other indefinitely.
Do I have access to the course content until the birth?
Yes, of course! You have full access to the content for nine months and can repeat the online antenatal course as often as you like during this time. Our midwife updates everything regularly so that you can easily complete the antenatal course online without any time pressure.
Does health insurance cover the costs of an online antenatal course?
Yes, mostly yes! Health insurance companies generally cover the costs of antenatal classes, regardless of whether they take place online or on site. However, midwife Katharina recommends consulting your health insurance provider in advance.
When can I start the antenatal course?
Any time! In contrast to an on-site course, you can start your birth preparation online at any time.
Can I do the online antenatal programme on the go?
Yes! All you need is an internet-enabled device. So you can relax with your partner in the garden, lie on a blanket in the park and prepare for the birth in bed in the evening. You are not tied to fixed times.
What topics are covered in the online antenatal course?
All of them, just like the classroom courses! Among other things, midwife Katharina talks about how to find the right midwife, what happens to your baby in the womb, what roles amniotic fluid, umbilical cord and placenta play and, of course, how to deal with pain during and after the birth. You can be sure that the online birth preparation programme will give you all the knowledge you need to cope with the birth in the best possible way.

Is online birth preparation right for me?
In any case! Midwife Katharina has over 20 years of experience, which she shares with you and your partner. The online course is perfect for you if:
- You want to prepare for the birth in the best possible way
- You have fears and are looking for someone to prepare you for the most wonderful event
- You want to learn together with your partner what happens during and after a birth
- You are pressed for time and don't fancy long journeys and looking for a parking space
- Your doctor has prescribed bed rest, but you still want to take a antenatal course.
This is what midwife Katharina would like to pass on to you:
"Digital support helps many women who would otherwise have been unable to find a midwife in their region. We can provide practical and mental support and thus ensure the supply of midwives throughout Germany. The online birth preparation course gives you the opportunity to repeat the exercises to prepare for the birth over and over again, or simply to refresh your knowledge. You gain the freedom to prepare for labour at your own time and at your own pace. When and where you want"
Katharina Jeschke, midwife
