“Whenever and however you give birth, your experience will impact your emotions, your mind, your body, and your spirit for the rest of your life.”

Recorded Birth Preparation Classes
Get essential guidance for pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with Doula Darby's recorded online preparation classes. These self-paced courses are designed for busy expat expecting parents in Germany. Watch a little every evening with your partner. Taught by a doula with eight years of experience in Munich, they cover not only what you'd learn in standard birth classes covered by insurance, but also include unique insights and help you build skills in navigating your care. All courses are taught with great emotional care so you can safely prepare and feel confident while welcoming your baby.

Understanding your Mutterpass
This free class offers insights to the medical documentation related to pregnancy and childbirth in Germany. You will learn about the tests conducted at the beginning and during pregnancy, how your check-ups are recorded, the three primary ultrasound screenings, tracking your baby’s growth, and the data collected after birth. Understanding these details will help you communicate with your healthcare providers so you feel empowered through the whole process.

Getting Started When Pregnant in Germany
After teaching a popular class called "Birthing in Munich" at a local birth education center, I've transformed all that valuable content into an easily accessible online format. Find out more about your medical care options, gain insights to the German birth culture, and learn about types of birth locations in Munich. This course will empower you as you embark on that path to preparing for your baby's arrival, with expert guidance from the comfort of your home.
