"The Empowered Birth Prenatal Course was legitimately a life saver! 
...
Not only eased my mind, it was SO much more than I could have ever expected! It is modern and up to date, so realistic but does not scare you like I have heard other prenatal classes can do sometimes. Nothing was biased, the information is just simply given so you feel you have choices for YOUR birth...."

Frequently asked questions

You’ve got questions. We’ve got answers.

Will I be able to ask you questions?

Absolutely! This is the biggest bonus of an in-person class, we feel! We welcome any and all questions :)

*Note: Sometimes we will refer you to your primary care provider. Yes, we are both nurses, but your individual care needs will be different than someone else's.

You also have access to the Private Beyond The Bump Parent Support Group on Facebook where we moderate and answer questions alongside some super-experienced parents! 

Will you cover all of the info from other local birth education classes?

Yes, absolutely! This is a complete childbirth course with the information you really need to know that is regularly not covered in your hospital prenatal classes. 

I have made sure to go above and beyond anything I have ever found - this is the course I wish I had even after working in Labour & Delivery!

I know I want an epidural (or C-Section). Will I still benefit from this course?

Definitely! You need this course just as much as a someone choosing an unmedicated birth. You need to know your options even with medication (there are a ton) and typically you will still feel some contractions before you can receive your epidural. This course will benefit you greatly! 

Also, that baby still has to move down to come out - I can show you how to do this even while you're napping with an epidural.

When is the best time to take this class?

It's never too early to prepare! The information provided in this course will set you up for success through your pregnancy by giving you things you can do to prepare yourself now.

That said, most people will choose to take an in-person class starting between 25 and 30 weeks so you can have all of the information you need to prepare well before baby is set to arrive! (though, we have has many people finishing the course at 38 or 39 weeks - this can be a little stressful for some, so earlier the better).

Will my partner benefit from this course?

Absolutely! I highly recommend your partner join in for each class - so much is directed to them. They’ll be there when you are going through labour, so it helps if they also remember and repeat a lot of the training in those moments! There is so much information devoted to helping partners understand their support role in labour and postpartum.

This is my second baby. Can I still gain knowledge from taking this course?

YES! Maybe you want your second birth to go differently than your first? You need preparation for that. This course will help you become well informed to make the best decisions that are right for you. This course will review your birth options - preparation and support are key factors in how your birth experience will go the second time around!

What is your refund policy?

I am pretty certain you will love it. In fact, this course is tailored around what parents told me they wanted and what they wish they knew.

If you have done all you can as a participant and been actively engaged but still find you have questions, let me know and I will make sure they are answered. I am here to help!

There will be no refunds issued after sign-up as you will have access to all information and materials immediately. If you need to, we can look at switching you to the online version of the course instead.
