Inside the Course

Six Modules, Zero Surprises

01

How Birth Works

Hormones, stages, and timelines — the physiology every parent should understand before anything else.

02

Comfort & Coping

Breath, movement, positions, water, and counter-pressure you can practice in your living room.

03

Pain Relief, Honestly

Nitrous to epidural: what each option feels like, costs, and changes — without scare tactics.

04

Navigating the Hospital

Triage, monitoring, shift changes, and inductions — how the system works and how to work it.

05

Your Birth Plan

Build a one-page plan with backups for every scenario, guided step by step with examples.

06

The Fourth Trimester

Feeding, sleep, recovery, and visitors — landing softly in the first six weeks home.
