“To raise a child it takes an entire village.” ~ African proverb.
In honor of this proverb, we believe it is essential to create weekly meetings for mothers who have given birth and babies within the first year of life.
In our meetings there will be the opportunity to deal with the various issues that characterize this phase of motherhood. Crying, sleeping, breastfeeding, taking care of mom! Join us!

This group will be held in Italian but Karin does speak English.

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.

Wednesday evenings from 7pm – 9pm starting March 10th. All meetings will take place online following the government’s decree 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
