Coping Techniques with Better Results
Anna Wilsby Frisk is the woman who started this unique pre birth course AnnasProfylax in febuary 2001. Several studies have been conducted based on her concept. The content in AnnasProfylax is also based on scientific evidence. "I do not only want you to like the course and have a good birth - I actually want you to have a good result."
Apart from educating pregnant couples and mothers, she also has seminars and certifies midwives, nurses and doctors. Two books, this webcourse and a dvd (now available in a streamed version) has been produced over the years. ”I truly believe every woman and every man is worth having a birth where they can feel in control and that they have their own tools. If you have the possibilty to join a course it´s perfect, but it is also possible to learn by reading or watching this webcourse.” says Anna.
This is how one woman, mother of two, described Anna and her new book: ”I only want to say that Anna Wilsby Frisks touches you on a whole new level. I feel it in my heart, and I am so grateful that people like her exists. Someone who dares to grabs life and really sees it, and helps thers do the same. Beautiful is what it is.” (Anna Sandström)

Web Course Content
AnnasProfylax Webourse is divided into seven different parts:
- Deep breathing and relaxation – The first part of the birth process
- Medium, second gear breathing – The second, active part of the birth process.
- Shallow, third gear, breathing – The third and most intensive part of the birth process.
- Mental preparation – What we focus on expand. How can you prepare mentally and how does your thoughts affect you and your birth?
- Massage – Calming massage and grips in different positions. Effective massage gives good painrelief and produces the important hormone oxytocin.
- Coaching – What you as her partner can do, say and think when she gives birth. How can you give her the best support?
- Pushing – How can you learn to push as gently and effective as possible? Learn which muscels are at work and how you can practise beforehand.
Our recommendation is that you do the whole course at ones the first time – thereafter you can go back and forth to those parts you feel you need to repeat. The total length, included exercises, is about 2-3 hours (depending on how much time you put on the exercises). In every part Anna presents the subject, demonstrates the exercise herself together with the couples. After each segment you will be recommended to pause the film and do the same exercise. Apart from the different exercises we recomend you to watch the inspirational film many times.
Practise, practise, practise…
Instead of hoping that you will get an easy birth, pretend you are preparing for a Marathon! If you feel you can handle long and strong contractions, if you know how to think to stay on track, if you know how to keep you energy high and team up with your partner – then you will have the margins in your side.
It is better to practise a little bit every day, rather than for a long time seldom. Also, DO the diffrent exercises, don´t just watch. You want the relization IN your body so that it knows what to do when it is time.
When to do the Course?
You can do the course at any time during your pregnancy, but from the 29th week the pregnancy becomes very ”real”, which is good for inspiration, and at the same time you have time to practise should the baby arrive early. Again, it is good to have time to practise, it is well invested time.

Recommendation from a midwife
BREATHE, RELAX, REST… Glad to hear how well AnnasProfylax prebirth
web course works. Profylax means preventive – how to minimize the risk
of problems occuring during birth. It is something I´m as your birth coach is passionate
about. The midwife Mersa tells us about a night at the clinic in the
south of Sweden:
”Last week I took care of a couple that were
expecting their 1st child. During pregnancy they had practised with
AnnasProfylax Web Course. The couple used the different techniques from
the course during the whole birth and
they had such a nice team work. The partner supported the mother with
her breathing and relaxation, encouraging her when it was tough, helping
her with various massage techniques. When the woman lost control of her
breathing, her partner was immediately there, reminding her to breathe,
breathing together with her.
They had brought with them a baby body, which the newly born baby was
going to wear after birth. They also had a small teddy bear to remind
them of where they were heading. Each time the contractions were
threatening to knock her over, she was asked to look at the body and the
teddy bear to stay on track – it worked very well. The man stayed close
the whole time and kept repeating, all through birth these three words:
Breathe, relax, rest. The birth took 10 hours and was completed with a
beautiful birth.
As a midwife, I was very impressed by their
birth and their nice collaboration. Had I known it was going to be such a
beautiful birth, I would have recorded it to show in class to other
parents.”
