We started the first ongoing English language birth course in Rome in 2012 and have been evolving with our parents and the lastest fact based research ever since. We are the fabulous flying midwives Gabriella & Karin and Kiki, your cultural translator.
Our mission is to arm you with enough information so you can have a birth as close to the one you desire as possible. Learn what happens during labour and delivery, what to know for successful breastfeeding and how to take care of your newborn. For families delivering in Italy we include information about Roman hospitals, clinics, home birth and the clarification of roles of the Italian medical professions.
Over the years we have been lucky enough to accompany some of the most interesting people on their journeys to parenthood. This dynamic group of parents comes from over forty different nations with incredibly varied and fascinating career paths. Our families often find themselves flying off on missions or even arriving in Rome just in time for giving birth, which means committing to a six week birth course is not an enviable option for them. To accommodate all of the families who need information and guidance, we also offer our Personalized Intensive Birth Course. Everything you need to know about labour and delivery and Roman birthing Institutions in an intensive 2 ½ hour consultation with Midwife Gabriella Pacini and Kiersten Miller, our Mombassador. We can come to you, you can come to us, or we can even schedule an online video appointment for those who are unable to join us in person.
