“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 November 4th. All meetings will take place online following the government’s decree until further notice.

For this course we are asking those who have private insurance, to pay the full cost of the course. For those who do not have insurance, 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

Through Karin De Lucia‘s  pregnancy yoga classes, we prepare the mind to listen to our body and our body for the changes of these wonderful 9 months ahead of the big day! Yoga allows us to strengthen and enhance our overall state of well-being through specific postures (Asanas), and allows us to hold positions that will help us during childbirth. We already experience the close alternation of movement and relaxation, closure and opening, strength and flexibility from the beginning of pregnancy. We work on breathing, but also on emotions and provides us a space to dedicate to the relationship between you and your baby, shifting our attention from the outside to the inside, facing pregnancy with a relaxed, positive and present approach.

This course will be held in Italian, but Karin does speak English. For info and costs write to ostetricakarin@gmail.com will contact you shortly!
