"The information presented in class was just right. It wasn’t too overwhelming but didn’t leave unanswered questions either. Definitely worth the time and money to gain that knowledge and avoid google!!" -Helaina Zurevinsky

Today marks the beginning of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness month.

We are so grateful for everyone in this community that are out there helping to end the stigma around pregnancy, infant, and child loss by sharing their stories and their beautiful babies.

As we have done in years before, we would like to share these stories with the world.

If you’d like us to help you share your baby with the world, tag us in a post dedicated to your baby and we’ll share it to our stories.

We know these stories can be tough on us, and they can bring on strong emotions so please know that our hearts are with you. 💜

"The in person portion was great, it was nice to meet some of the people we will likely see around town once baby arrives. The positions and practice and hands on activities were also much appreciated"

"The prenatal class is very informative when it comes to learning about what to do and what your partner can do to help you out when it comes to labour and postpartum."

"I really loved Yliza’s hands on approach and practicing labour positions, it was good for both my husband and I and helped relieve lots of anxiety. The LC portion was also very helpful."

"I’ve already told a couple pregnant friends that the labour positions practice and counter pressure alone make it very worth it. They are both things I had read about but getting the actual in person instruction was way more beneficial for my husband and I."

"The books are helpful, but don’t replace being able to learn directly from knowledgeable and experienced experts."

〰️The Supported W aka Closed Knee Pushing〰️ We’ve talked about this before but we had to revisit the topic! With new supporting photos from @bundlebirthnurses 💉This is a great option if you have an epidural or if you’re unmedicated and just need a little rest! 🥱 Why do we recommend “closed knee” positions and when should we try them? Knees in ankles out positions gently open your pelvic outlet and make room for baby’s decent! Your hip joins pull outward and your sits bones follow, creating a wider outlet! This is a great position for: 🎯Stage One: Phase Two Active Labor 🎯Phase Three Transition 🎯Stage Two Pushing/Birth! Basically after +1 station! Be sure to save this one because many families freeze up in transition or later feeling overcome by the process of labor by that point. Having another tool in your arsenal can make all the difference. 🥜 You want to find the biggest peanut ball for this move. You can labor down in this move, push in this move, etc. Will you try it?! #doula #christiandoula #christian #birthwork #birth #prenatal #postpatum #john15 #godiswithme #pregnancy #birthdoula #midwife #postpartum #pregnant #homebirth #doulasupport #baby #breastfeeding #childbirth #postpartumdoula #naturalbirth #birthsuppot #motherhood #childbirtheducation #doulas #birthwithoutfear #empoweredbirth#birthworker

"Prenatal classes will give some reassurance that the birthing process doesn't have to be the way it's shown on tv/ movies. The birthing movements are helpful to know about ahead of time."
