✨ Real words from a real parent who took Your Birth, Your Options. ✨

(Reviews like this will never get old.)

Slide through the carousel to read their full thoughts, but here’s the takeaway:

You don’t need to piece together random TikToks, Reddit threads, and well-meaning-but-contradictory advice. You can learn what to expect, what your options are, and how to speak up for what matters to you without feeling overwhelmed.

My online birthing class is self-paced, organized, and built to help you feel grounded (not stressed) as you prep for birth. And yes, you can absolutely binge it in sweatpants with snacks. I fully support that journey for you.

You might see this and ask yourself: Wait. What ARE Braxton Hicks contractions?

Braxton Hicks contractions are irregular, painless, or mildly uncomfortable uterine contractions that can start as early as the second trimester but are more commonly noticed in the third trimester.

That's right. You don’t need anyone to tell you to push.

I’ve seen it so many times: Someone’s checked, hears “You’re 10 centimeters! It's time to push!” and suddenly the whole room shifts gears. And not always for the better.

But the truth is that if your body isn’t giving you that deep, unstoppable urge to bear down, it’s probably not time yet.

The fetal ejection reflex is your body’s built-in cue, and it takes over when baby and uterus are both ready. (Even with an epidural, sometimes you just need a little patience.)

✨ Wait for the wave. When the urge hits, you’ll know. And those quiet minutes between contractions? They’re not wasted, they’re your body recharging for the grand finale.

Your body was built to give birth.

But there are a few common things that can interrupt its natural rhythm—especially in hospital settings.

Let’s break them down 👇

1️⃣ Going to the hospital too early.
Stay home for as long as possible. Arriving too soon often means more interventions—like frequent checks, IV fluids, and Pitocin—that can stall progress and lengthen recovery.

2️⃣ Ignoring your instincts.
Your body and your baby are in constant communication. Trust that inner knowing. Labor is a dance, not a deadline.

3️⃣ Frequent cervical checks.
They don’t tell the full story of progress—and too many can actually slow labor down. You get to decide how often you’re checked.

4️⃣ Breaking your water.
Contrary to popular belief, your baby can be born in the sac. Artificially breaking your water (AROM) is one of the most common interventions—and rarely necessary.

5️⃣ Restricting food and drink in labor.
Running a marathon on ice chips? No thanks. Evidence shows that eating and drinking as needed keeps energy up and labor moving.

✨ Knowledge is power.
When you understand how labor works and what can interfere with it, you can make confident choices for your birth.

🎓 Learn how to protect your physiological birth and navigate interventions with confidence in my self-paced online childbirth course — Your Birth, Your Options: Make Informed Choices with Confidence.
