A lot of people are learning US based birth information even though they're in CANADA đŹ
And then they get to the hospital... things aren't what they expected.
This is one of the top reasons you should get ready for birth from an expert in the field right here in Canada!
Someone who is up to date on the research and provides evidenced based information so you can feel confident and make informed decisions during your labour, birth and postpartum.
You donât need to be scared of birth. You just need to understand it!
This is what you'll learn in Prepping To Pop!
This training is for you if you want to:
đFeel more confident approaching your birth
đLearn what options you have in hospital and home and what they mean for you
đFind out some of the ways you can control your body for delivery
đStart forming your birth plan and figure out what is important to you
đFind a community of people in the same boat as you who just âget itâ

Avoid the âI wish I had have advocated for myself betterâ
To be fair, advocating is something that takes some practice! So you need to learn it during pregnancy.
If youâve been here any amount of time, you know how important informed consent, informed choice and informed refusal are to me.
I find B.R.A.I.N is the easiest acronym to remember âŹď¸
Benefits - what are the benefits?
Risks - what are the risks?
Alternatives of benefits and risks - thereâs almost always alternatives
Intuition - what does your gut say?
What if you do nothing - what actually happens in this scenario if you donât do what is being suggested?
Your voice matters. It is your body and you are the most important person in the decision making tree.

A little about me:
I am a Mom to a very busy boy and a tireless dog, a wife, and have a Bachelor degree in Nursing with more than 7 years of relevant experience as a Registered Nurse.
Beyond The Bump⢠Education is a result of all my work experiences, but especially because of my beginning in nursing. I started my career with a volunteer position nursing in the Dominican Republic with an organization that works with impoverished Dominican people and Haitian refugee communities. During a pop-up clinic I was helping an OBGYN with, we came across a little boy who was only 6lbs 2oz at nearly 3 months old; Jameson quickly became the reason I was there. We brought him to the hospital, had testing done and found out he was severely anemic and allergic to the formula he was being given. Every second day I would go to their village, give him iron and do teaching (as best I could in my broken Spanish unable to speak Haitian Creole) with his 16 year old Mom. Jameson grew quite quickly and is 7 years old this year!! Because of him, a new prenatal program was developed and has graduated hundreds of women through it- Jamesonâs Mom is one of those graduates!
This experience, along with my own pregnancy and postpartum, have been huge motivators for this dream of mine to come alive! I love to teach and I firmly believe that all parents should have access to reliable information that empowers them to make educated choices for themselves and their children.
Beyond The Bump⢠Education will be providing prenatal and postnatal education; safety workshops focusing on children and families; CPR (BLS) certifications; and be helping connect new parents with the resources they need to be successful.
