About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

Are you looking for a childbirth class that gives you the flexibility of learning online, but also the support and encouragement from an instructor?

By taking the Evidence Based Birth® Childbirth Class, you and your partner will learn the evidence for your birth options and you’ll get to meet with an experienced instructor and other parents who are on the journey through pregnancy and birth just like you! This online class format allows you to access quality evidence-based materials online, so that it works with your schedule, with the added benefit of mentorship and engaging activities! This class is limited to only 6 couples.

This series is specifically for those planning their first birth. The class content is the same, but you'll be with others who, like you, are preparing to be parents for the first time.


Classes are on consecutive Wednesdays: Apr 16th through May 21st @ 7 pm CST


Will I learn how to have a Natural Birth?

Evidence Based Birth® believes that every person has their own unique path. Instead of focusing on medicated vs. unmedicated birth, we focus on giving you tools and helping you learn the evidence, so that you can be empowered to make your own decisions! We do have a strong emphasis on non-drug comfort measures, because they have no side effects and can be used by everyone, whether or not you plan to use medications.

At the end of this class, you will have all the tools you need to create your ultimate labor and birth experience. If you want a natural birth, this class will give you the relaxation and pain management tools you need to have a natural birth. If you need an epidural or Cesarean, we’ll cover how you can be empowered that way, too!


In this class, we will:

  • describe your rights and options in childbirth
  • go over hospital interventions
  • address the importance of labor support
  • practice proven-effective comfort measures
  • rehearse birthing positions
  • learn advocacy skills for you and your partner
  • discuss postpartum care
  • have the option of watching bonus breastfeeding and newborn care videos


Class Format

  • Six weeks of prerecorded online video lessons you can watch and rewatch at your leisure
  • Six weekly Zoom sessions with the whole class and an Evidence Based Birth® Instructor to lead discussion and answer questions
  • The EBB eWorkbook to keep you focused as you progress through the curriculum and to use as a reminder of what you've learned as you approach your birth
  • Three months of access to the EBB Academy, complete with PDF library, audio files, and more!

Frequently asked questions

Can’t I just educate myself online using Google and YouTube?

A lot of that info you find online about pregnancy and birth is inaccurate! The benefit of the Evidence Based Birth® class is that all of the best, evidence-based information is curated for you. What’s more, you can ask your experienced Evidence Based Birth® Instructor questions any time.

Shouldn’t I just let the doctors and nurses tell me what to do?

Routine practices in some hospitals are 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 partner how to respectfully speak up for yourself, your partner, and your child.

When in the pregnancy should we take the classes?

Around the second trimester so you have time to develop a healthy birth philosophy and make any necessary changes to create a positive experience. Plan to register sooner rather than later; one of the consequences of a smaller class size is that they fill up quickly!
