I'm a first time mom. Would this course be a good option for me?

Yes! But know that this course is designed as a supplement to a regular birth class. If you're first time parents, we STRONGLY recommend you take our Comprehensive Course (which includes all that we teach in this short course, too). In order to have a successful unmedicated birth, you need to be educated on all the research behind common hospital interventions, how to make decisions if things don't go to plan... etc. You can find more information on it below.

Can I use my FSA, HSA or HRA Card?

Yes! Childbirth education courses are eligible for reimbursement through most flexible spending accounts (FSA), health savings accounts (HSA) or heath reimbursement arrangements (HRA). For more information on how to receive reimbursement, contact your FSA/HSA/HRA benefits administrator for more information.

I've already had a baby, and I tried for an unmedicated birth, but it wasn't successful. Would this course be good for me?

Yes! As long as you have a good handle on the research and how to avoid common hospital interventions - then this course will be great. - BUT - If you need to learn more about how to make those decisions, then we recommend our Comprehensive Course. It goes into great detail about how to avoid unnecessary interventions. Plus, all the content in this short course is included in the Comprehensive Course.

I just want an epidural, does this course apply to me?

Yes, yes, and YES. Many couples don't realize that you will likely be in early/active labor for a while before you get an epidural (or at least, you should be to decrease the chance of complications). You need to be prepared for how to handle those contractions so you're not miserable! And even if you plan on getting an epidural early on, between triage and waiting for the anesthesiologist, you'll have some time before you get relief. Why not have some tools in your toolbox in order to manage your contractions with ease?

It's been a while since I've had a baby, and I just want a refresher. Would this course be good for me?

Yes! This is a perfect course for second + time couples.

I live internationally. Will this course work for me?

Yes! Childbirth is one thing that connects women all over the world. There will be some differences (for example when we talk about common hospital policies), but most of what is discussed will apply to you. You will need to pay in USD at checkout, but you'll need to check with your credit card company for any added fees on their end.

Do you include hands-on practice of the techniques you teach?

Absolutely. This course is very interactive - almost every other slide we are having you practice breathing, relaxing, counter-pressure, labor positions... all of it!

Is there a way to connect with other pregnant couples through your course?

Yes! We have a private facebook group moderated by Ben and Jessica where you can ask any questions you may have, meet other couples virtually, and get additional input about your birth plan.

What if I don't like the course?

We feel so confidently that you will love it that we offer a 30-day money back guarantee, no questions asked!

How long will I have access to the course?

Each client receives LIFETIME ACCESS to the course! So go through the course as often as you need and use it as a refresher at any point during your pregnancy and future pregnancies!
