Birth and Baby University FAQs

  • Intro to Childbirth, Preparing For Your Hospital Birth, and Bringing Home Baby are aimed to be about 4 hours. The time that the class will take each family is going to greatly depend on how much time you choose to spend on each activity. Our Breastfeeding class is geared to be about 3 hours, this also depends on how much time you spend on each activity.

  • All of our classes are geared towards educating families, although if you are a perinatal professional, you will also find lots of great and helpful information in these classes.

  • Our classes are comprehensive, hands-on, communication and activity-based. They include a helpful and easy-to-implement workbook. Hospital-based classes are larger and typically lecture-style, shorter, non-interactive and not as comprehensive. Our in-person classes are smaller (typically 7-8 couples) which allows for more conversation and activities.

  • Most of our birthing classes are geared for medicated or unmedicated births. The focus is informed decision-making and communication with your partner and healthcare provider. We strongly believe that your options can help you have an improved birth outcome.

  • We highly recommend taking a breastfeeding class if you plan on breastfeeding. Our breastfeeding class comes with a very helpful workbook and is more comprehensive than most hospital-based classes.
