“This class was fun and so informative! There was SO much I didn’t know about all the decisions I could make about my birth. Both my husband and I were so confident during the birth. I knew what my body was doing, and he knew how to comfort and help me. We had a wonderful birth experience because of our class.”

“I really don't think I could have gotten through those 18 hours of labor without everything I learned and practiced from Birth Boot Camp. There were definitely times when I thought I couldn't keep going, but I would draw my focus back on all the techniques we learned and practiced. I know that it made a world of difference!”

“
Dr. Adrienne Carmack, MDUrologic Surgeon, Author of Reclaiming My Birth Rights

“Birth Boot Camp is an incredibly comprehensive and factual birth preparation course. Presented in a fun and engaging way, Birth Boot Camp provides you all the facts and more that you would get with your own research. You will learn all you really need to know so that you can make truly informed choices and create the best experience possible!”

Have More Questions? Check Out Our FAQ’s!

Which class should I choose?

Have you taken our quiz? We recommend starting there, but here are a few other things to consider.

You may want to consider the Comprehensive Class is you are a first time parent, planning a natural birth, or are wanting a VBAC. This class also includes information about newborn care, breastfeeding, and the postpartum recovery. You’ll receive complimentary access to the Birth Boot Camp Breastfeeding Class taught by Mellanie Sheppard, IBCLC. It’s great for all birth locations including hospital births and out-of-hospital births. The Comprehensive Class has the most information for the best value.

You may want to consider the Hospital Class if you are looking for information specifically focused on delivering in the hospital. You’ll learn how to navigate hospital policies and interventions, as well as pain management options.

You may want to consider the Home and Birth Center Class is you will be delivering at home or a free-standing birth center. You’ll learn what’s most important in helping you achieve your natural birth, while lowering your chances of needing interventions.

When should I start my class?

A majority of our students begin their class between 20 and 25 weeks.

Ideally, you’d begin your class with enough time to watch one class each week, practice what you learn, do the homework, have discussions together, talk to your care provider, write your birth plan, etc.

If you’re starting a little later, no problem. You’ll just be learning it all in a shorter amount of time.

How long will I have access to my class?

You will have 12 months of unlimited access to the class(es) you are registered for.

What is included in my online class?

Your online class includes hours of video content filled with tons of information and tips, demonstration and practice videos, and relaxation recordings.

Each course has an online e-book with the option to upgrade to a physical workbook if you’d like.

How can I get the most out of my class?

Treating your online classes as you would a live class is the best bit of advice. Pick a class night, put it in your calendar, then do the homework (relaxation, Chow Charts, exercises, discussions with each other and/or care provider, etc.) during the week. Don’t try to cram the classes all at once, even if you are getting a late start. Space them out by at least a few days and work on the weekly assignments even if it’s not for an entire week. Be accountable to each other. Other useful tips can be found once you log on after registration.

What if I have questions? Who do I contact?

Your online instructors, Hollie Hauptly and Cheryl Amelang, would love to help if you have any questions at all while you complete your online class.
