Childbirth Education: A Three-Hour Course
What to Expect
This is a space to slow down and connect. Expect a supportive environment where you can ask anything, unpack what you’ve heard, and build a solid foundation for birth. Together, we’ll explore the amazing physiology of your body in labor, walk through the stages & phases of birth, and share comfort measures and pain management tools you can lean on. We’ll also hold space for the emotional side of birth, and talk about how to flow with your care team while staying connected to your own voice.
❋ Stages & Phases of Labor
Understand what’s happening in your body and why. We walk through the natural progression of labor so you can recognize each phase, anticipate changes, and move through them with clarity.
❋ Comfort Measures
Comfort is intentional. You’ll learn practical tools and supportive techniques that help you work with your body and conserve your energy through the waves of labor.
❋ Care Team Dynamics
Birth often happens in a room full of people, and you deserve to feel confident in it. We’ll explore communication and advocacy, and discuss how to collaborate with your care team so your voice stays centered in the process.
❋ Early Postpartum
The first hours and days after birth matter. We’ll talk through what unfolds physically and emotionally so you can approach that tender window with awareness and a plan for support.

How It Works
-
Wombly’s Childbirth Education classes are 3 hours long, and can be held in-person or virtually, in group settings or privately.
-
Most families attend between 20-34 weeks of pregnancy, but anytime before birth can be helpful.
-
Yes, and they’re encouraged to! Birth works best when everyone in the room understands the process and their role in it. This class helps your support person feel informed and prepared to advocate and assist.
-
Neither. This course prepares you for informed decision-making in any setting- hospital, birth center, or home- and for a range of pain management options.
-
Just yourself, your support person (if attending), and an open mind. Notebooks, journals, and writing materials are welcomed and encouraged.
