In response to the challenges posed by the Corona pandemic, many midwives have put their courses online. This affords you a new level of convenience and accessibility. Our top recommendation for a classic birth preparation course is the comprehensive 14-hour program led by the esteemed midwife Kareen Dannhauer. This course allows you and your partner to immerse yourselves in essential birth preparation from the comfort of your own sofa, on your own schedule. It's an ideal way for you to get ready for one of life's more significant moments together.

There is also a great online course for twins, with Jana Friedrich & Inga Sarrazin. Here the two of them explicitly address the needs and situation of multiple births, for example how do I breastfeed twins at the same time, how do I carry both children at the same time, etc.

In our opinion, a first aid course is a must for expectant parents. The course, offered by 12minutes, is designed to empower parents to confidently handle both minor and major emergencies. Created by Dr. Annalena Dehé and Dr. Lukas Dehé, the course aims to provide peace of mind and preparedness for those critical moments when your child relies on you the most. As emergency physicians at Charité and parents of twins themselves, the Dehés bring expert knowledge and personal experience to their emergency training courses.
