Course at a glance

Do you recognise this?

• Spain, Malaga, the Costa del Sol, it´s fantastic! Living here is incredible! Yet... the prospect of giving birth in Spain introduces an unexpected shift, stirring a sense of uncertainty. You don´t know the language that well, you have no idea how the maternity system exactly works and everything is new for you. The ambiguity leaves you seeking answers, navigating through unfamiliar territory. This leaves you feeling overwhelmed and secretly longing back to the familiarity of your home country.

• Yearning for a natural birth, you find yourself grappling with doubts about its feasibility in a country known for its medicalized approach to childbirth. The whispers of a highly medicalized birth experience echo around you, leaving you pondering: ¨What does that truly entail? What kind of interventions are we looking at here? Is it really all that bad?¨ These questions leave you feeling uncertain and insecure about the possibility of achieving your desired natural birth.

• Your baby is growing, and so are your questions. "How on earth will I get my baby out? How will I know labour has started? How does it feel? Do you always tear? Can a baby's head really fit through?" You want to understand what's happening in your body — but the more you search, the more overwhelming it gets.

• And then there's the fear of the intensity. "Can I truly endure the rigours of childbirth? What if it becomes overwhelming? What if I'm asking too much of myself?" The what-ifs mount. You start to doubt yourself.

• While your healthcare provider has been satisfactory in most aspects, certain concerns begin to surface. You would love to have assurance about the healthcare provider attending your birth, but you just learned there will be no guarantee. Additionally, despite your healthcare provider not being explicitly against natural birth, she does not seem to favour your requests to be able to move during birth, drink & eat and use natural pain relief. You start to feel more and more uncomfortable with your current healthcare provider.

How would it be for you if...

… your options for birth are clear, you understand the maternity system in Spain and you know in which type of setting you want to give birth.

… you feel strong and knowledgeable. You have a clear picture of what natural birth looks like and the interventions that are common in Spain and you know what your own preferences are.

… the mystery of labour is gone. You understand exactly what your body is doing at every stage — what the sensations mean, what each phase looks like, why it unfolds the way it does. That knowledge alone changes everything. You even find yourself looking forward to it.

… you are no longer afraid of the intensity of birth. You know how to move through it — with your breath, your body, your tools. You fully believe in your ability to handle whatever comes your way.

… you chose the right healthcare provider fitting your preferences. You know your options, rights and what you can ask for. Your requests are being honoured, and you are being heard and taken seriously!

You ask the right questions, ensure your voice is heard and your preferences are respected. You feel at ease because you know your options and rights in pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. Empowered with this knowledge, you make informed choices that align perfectly with your preferences and desires, ensuring a birth experience that is uniquely yours and deeply fulfilling.
