We say it all the time. What is covered in an independent childbirth class compared to what is covered at most local hospitals can be dramatically different. Now, that difference is available online too.

There are many good independent childbirth classes to choose from in the Dallas and Fort Worth area. (We offer two courses that we think you will love!) But not everyone wants or can attend a live class and that’s OK.

Does this describe you?

• Your/your partner work non-traditional hours

• You/your partner travels

• You/your partner like to learn from your bed

• You/your partner are an introvert and meeting other expecting couples and making small talk sounds like the outer level of hell

• You/your partner are on bed rest

• You/your partner are hip, modern and love podcasts and online learning

Online Childbirth Classes

The same award winning curriculum we use for group classes is available online and streamed to you. Boom, just like that - you can listen to your birth classes while driving to work, cooking dinner, while falling asleep or together with your partner with a bowl of popcorn (or pickles and ice cream?) with the gorgeous course journal leading your through fun but important discussions about how you want to be cared for during your birth experience. It’s date night, but possibly in your PJs.

Preparing for Birth online includes:

• Six course session podcasts with dynamic instructors. Listen at your own pace and listen as often as you wish. 

• The beautiful Preparing for Birth journal which creates positive conversation between partners, and with health care providers.

• Prepared Feeding video (breastfeeding/infant feeding course) . Preparing for Birth covers postpartum in a way no other course does.  Prepared Feeding features Amanda Devereux, IBCLC, with all the info parents need to feed their new baby. This can’t miss video is included with course registration.

• On going personal support from the Preparing for Birth team.

Want to learn a bit more about Preparing for Birth?

We love this curriculum because it is for EVERY birthing person. It’s not a method and includes meditations for relaxation and labor breathing, knowledge to understand the basics (and more) of labor, gentle exercises to prepare your body for birth and it also honors the intuition you bring for what is best for your and your baby.

The course focuses on communication with providers, with partners and with the birth team as a whole. It allows families to have information to explore the options for what they want and need (because if you don’t know your options, you don’t have any!) then provides a path to get them to those things.
