Benefits of the course of preparation for childbirth

• For the baby: it benefits mainly from the oxygenation it receives in the first breath, since the contractions of labor stimulate it in such a way that it can breathe better at birth and be more active the first days of life.
• For mom: delivery ensures a close bond with the child and facilitates the process of breastfeeding, provides you with an optimal emotional state, which positively favors the new relationship. It is stated that painkillers, anesthetics and surgeries do not favor contact. A good psychophylactic course prevents, in many cases, complications and unnecessary interventions.
• For the couple: the presence of the partner at birth favors attachment and the formation of the father-mother-child bond. In the case of complications in childbirth that require medical intervention, prepared couples better understand what happens and rationalize the results, better than if they had not taken the course.
