Options: in-home individual sessions, zoom or group classes. About: If we don’t know our options we don’t have any. This method is designed to dispel myths and fears women and men hold about pregnancy, birth and parenting while also showing them what’s available and what’s possible. We simplify birth and view it as a natural, normal physiological process of the body while also acknowledging the beautiful spiritual transformation a woman and family will go through. The method empowers couples by examining how to navigate the medical system, how to practice informed consent and become skilled self-advocate. The husband is taught how to show up and be the gatekeeper of this experience by understanding how labor works, what true emergencies are, and how to have comprehensive conversations with medical providers. We teach relaxation techniques, how to re-imagine the idea of pain management, how to stay low risk, and what the woman can do to make sure she has the most bonding with her baby. Most expectant couples don’t understand how their choices made in pregnancy and birth can impact the newborn phase and this is one of the most enlightening andempowering elements of our method. For instance, we emphasize the importance of building physical stamina, as labor is an athletic event. If a woman doesn’t prepare her body, and build endurance she will feel more discomfort in labor and often rely on drugs which will complicate outcomes for her and the baby often leading to c-section.
