Presenting the Birth Course I wish I had had! Learn what happens during labour and delivery, what to know for successful breastfeeding and how to take care of your newborn. This series of six meetings will include information on how your body changes during pregnancy, prenatal testing, the hormonal and physical processes that occur during labour and delivery, pain management, and what happens when you are home with your little. We discuss birth plans and, for those of you delivering in Rome, we cover information on Roman hospitals, clinics and home birth and the clarification of roles of the Italian medical professions. Our mission is to arm you with enough information so you can have a birth as close to the one you desire as possible. This course is run by Gabriella Pacini, midwife, lactation consultant (IBCLC) and counsellor and Kiersten Miller her sidekick.
Tuesday evenings from 7pm – 9pm starting September 14th. All meetings will take place online until further notice.
For this course we are asking those who are able, to pay the full cost of the course. For those who are facing challenges in these strange times, we ask to pay what they feel they can in this moment, no explanations necessary. Please send an email if you would like to join us to info@belliesabroad.com

Fertility treatments are no longer a rare phenomenon, but rather widespread and a reality for so many. Yet, it is still not openly talked about, and for many it remains a difficult topic, full of prejudice and fear. This leaves those who find themselves having to take these steps, alone – exactly at a moment in life when one needs love and support to navigate all of the choices, to get through all of the treatments and to make sometimes difficult decisions.
We believe it is important to break this silence and create spaces for open and honest discussion. Would you like to join us? The meeting will be open to those who are in the middle of fertility treatments, those who went through it some time ago, but also to those who are contemplating it and are looking for supportive dialogue and exchange.
To join, please send an email to belliesabroad@gmail.com.
These discussions will be facilitated by:
Veronika Garms, Psychoanalytical Psychotherapist for Children, Adolescents and Couples; member of the S.I.Ps.I.A. (Società Italiana di Psicoterapia Psicoanalitica del Bambino, dell’Adolescente e della Coppia); Founding Member and Vice-President of the Association “P.M.A., Ponte per una Maternità Attesa”
and
Gabriella Pacini, midwife, IBCLC certified lactation consultant, member of Vita di Donna and other birth rights associations.
