“I really liked how open and conversational it was! I think Emma did a fantastic job of preparing us for what's to come and I feel like I'm more prepared for the first week with my baby now. Also, I think it's important how the course focused on what my partner can do to help, I found it really useful to prepare us both for the discussion about what we need to think of.”

“We attended two courses at Fæðingarheimili Reykjavíkur, breastfeeding and birth preparation, and found them simply excellent. They were useful and informative, held in small groups in a relaxed and cozy atmosphere. We had the chance to ask all our questions and felt taken care of. Emma and Edith were very knowledgeable and reassuring. We also chose Emma to come to our home after our daughter was born - she helped us so much in those first days.

We totally recommend the courses for everyone, both Icelanders and foreigners. These awesome people can truly help in this crazy beautiful journey!“

“My partner and I really felt like we benefitted from the class more than we expected to. We felt it was very thorough and provided insight into parts of the process we hadn’t even considered. In retrospect, now that we have our baby in our arms, I feel that my partner/“support person” was more prepared and the things he learned allowed me to have a more positive experience than I would have otherwise. He was able to help me through the process with so much confidence. The midwives really knew their stuff and were able to communicate the lessons very effectively. We left the class with such a great knowledge of not only what to expect, but how to best cope with both the negatives and positives of the entire birthing experience.“
