The Birth Course in Rome
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 about 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.

La Leche League meetings provide support and friendships for pregnant women and nursing moms in English.

It is also a lovely way to meet other English speaking moms and to share your adventures of pregnancy and motherhood in a strange land. Come for the information and support, stay for the friendships!
