you could... but is the information reliable and well-organized for your understanding? I doubt it. the benefit of the Evidence Based Birth® Childbirth Class is that all of the best, evidence-based information has been curated and we get you and your partner engaged in the learning process.
what actually happens in most hospitals is still about 15 to 20 years behind the research, and there is a lot of pressure to conform to traditions that might not be in your best interests. we will teach you and your support how to be your own advocate—a skill you can for the rest of your life!
there are a lot of poor-quality classes out there that have given childbirth education a bad reputation. the founder of Evidence Based Birth®, Rebecca Dekker, PhD, RN, APRN, knows how to teach adults effectively. this class is motivating and SO much fun to participate in. you will learn more than you could ever imagine!
our students are most excited to learn about the entire toolkit of comfort measures for labor. we cover pain management techniques like massage, water immersion, upright birthing positions, acupressure, music therapy, and deep breathing, just to name a few. so when labor starts, you and your partner will be ready.
