Birth Preparatory Class - A Ma Terapies

Given the paucity of ante-natal classes available in Barcelona, this is a good alternative. For just you and your partner, it´s a chance for you both to concentrate on the forthcoming birth and ask questions and preoccupations you may have about labour and beyond. There is also a private session available for those interested in Natural Birth. You can pick the time that suits you. From 60 euros.
