“In the spring, I participated in Birthing Womens birth course, which is much more than just birth preparation, or perhaps it’s how birth preparation should ideally be! Even though it was my second pregnancy, and I had already experienced a successful birth, I felt a strong need to delve deeper into my upcoming birth and connect with my pregnancy and baby. I wanted to give myself the time and space to be fully present, but I could never have imagined how precious and enriching this experience would become.

Ida and Mathilde are unquestionably the two most warm-hearted and nurturing women you could wish for during pregnancy. From the moment I stepped into the space they had created, I felt safe.

Beyond their enormous knowledge in pregnancy and birth, which prepared me incredibly well for the actual birth, I was deeply moved  by their approach to childbirth as being more than just a series of physical phases to go through. It is equally a preparation for the mental and emotional aspects, in which their birth course excels! They help you get closer to your own desires and needs, whether you dream of giving birth at home or in a hospital, whether you look forward to the birth or are filled with fear.

I felt a profound connection with the other women in the group, and each time I had been there, it felt like a refreshing warm shower of support and love. I genuinely believe that every pregnant woman should experience birth preparation like the one Ida and Mathilde offer.

Today I sit with my wonderful three- month-old daughter and the memories of a dream birth. I had created a specific wish list for my birth beforehand, which I intended to print and take with me to the birth. However, when it came down to it, I didn’t need it at all. The profound preparation I had shared with Ida and Mathilde, along with the attention and devotion I had given to my pregnancy and impending birth, had manifested so strongly within me that I intuitively knew exactly what to do to ensure my wishes were fulfilled. So, I asked my partner to discard the list when my contractions began, and I labored without a midwife until 35 minutes before my daughter was born at home in the kitchen. I lay through my contractions in the night with a single candle, a gift from our group, and I felt like part of something big, an age-old understanding known as motherhood, which gave me strength.

Even in the time following birth, I still felt the support and care of the group around me. It was an experience I will cherish and carry with me for the rest of my  life.

Oh, I mustn’t forget to mention the snacks that were served during the birth course. They were almost reason enough to look forward to the sessions.”

“Ida og Mathilde rammesætter det fineste forløb, hvor man i en lille kvindecirkel bliver fysisk og mentalt indstillet på at føde. Jeg følte mig heldig over at have fundet denne hemmelige lomme af favnende fællesskab, hvor alle de små og store fornemmelser og følelser om graviditet, fødsel, overgang og nyt liv liv kunne finde den rette plads. Forløbet skabte en rygrad af ro, jeg kunne læne mig tilbage i undervejs i fødslen.”

“I can't express enough how grateful I am for the empowering experience I had in my birthing preparation class. The wealth of knowledge provided not only exceeded my expectations but also played a pivotal role in boosting my confidence during labor. The class offered comprehensive and insightful information that made me feel well-prepared and empowered to navigate the birthing process. The support and guidance I received were invaluable, making the entire journey more manageable and less daunting. I truly believe that the knowledge I gained was instrumental in creating a positive birthing experience, and I can't thank Ida and Mathilde enough for their dedication and expertise”
