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 take your little one home. 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  November 5th.

Maximum 6 couples. Pricing can be adjusted when needed, just contact us.

La Leche League Meetings are back to Wednesdays! Please join us for support, information and friendships for pregnant women and nursing moms in English. La Leche League International strives to to help mothers worldwide to breastfeed through mother-to-mother support, encouragement, information, and education, and to promote a better understanding of breastfeeding as an important element in the healthy development of the baby and mother. It is also a lovely way to meet other English speaking moms and to share your adventures of pregnancy and motherhood in a strange land.

Come for the support and information, stay for the friendships!

Not in Rome? If you would like to join remotely, send a message to Petra at +393348581710 with your Skype id.

Getting yourself and your child a flu vaccine is always a good idea and doing it together is a great way to help them overcome their fears!

On Friday November 8th, Dr. Gesualdo will be administering the flu vaccine at his office (Via Fonteiana, 162 Monteverde) from 3pm -530p . The vaccine called Vaxigrip Tetra can be purchased at any pharmacy including the Murino Pharmacy (https://goo.gl/maps/LjNdNunJ9tkuD7qP9) who has ordered batches for his patients. The pharmacy will be open in the morning until 1pm and in the afternoon from 4pm onwards.

The flu vaccine can be administered from 6 months of age onward. In Italy it is recommended for children who are at high risk of developing a severe form of the flu (such as children with chronic conditions, asthma, diabetes, babies born preterm etc.) However, the vaccine offers protection from the flu also for children and adults who are not high risk, which is why in many countries the vaccine is recommended for the whole population. On this occasion also parents can receive the vaccine.

Places are limited, so those interested can send an email to f.gesualdo@gmail.com.
