This workshop is an opportunity for the couple (and any member of the birth team) to focus on and prepare for the approaching birth. Together they practice many different positions that can be used during the contractions, in between the contractions, and for the delivery of the baby. The partners learn many specific tips on what they can do throughout the birth process, helping both the mother and themselves be as empowered as possible.
