Birthsmarter's unique curriculum offers information and practice that will enable you and your partner to think critically and improvise during high stakes moments. We incorporate the best elements of Lamaze, Hypnobirthing, and the Bradley Method and present curated, relevant, and scientifically rooted information in a straightforward, funny, and compassionate manner.

With our On-Demand Childbirth Education class you will learn the fundamentals of the Birthsmarter approach: The Three Actions
of birth, the Five Partner Responsibilities, and so much more.

What props/tools are required for class?
If you’re watching On-Demand it might be helpful to have some props for the Comfort + Coping section of class:

  • An inflated birth ball
  • A chair with no arms (a kitchen chair or folding chair)
  • A body pillow/yoga bolster/two bed pillows
  • A tennis ball or other massage tool
  • A big scarf (like a classic Pashmina)
  • A water bottle with a straw top, or a glass of water with a straw
  • A heating pad
  • Lotion or oil, perhaps with a scent you enjoy
We love to bundle this class with our Postpartum Planning, Lactation (Not So) Basics, and Newborn Care classes for a truly comprehensive
education!

What some of our students have had to say: 
"I tried another class that I hated, and then I was lucky enough that a friend showed me a few videos from Birthsmarter's On-Demand class. I purchased it right away. I felt SO MUCH more prepared after watching these videos and we didn't even make it through all of them. THANK YOU!" - Chelsea 

"This offers a very neutral / non-bias approach to the whole birthing process which I really respected. There is so much pro-natural birth content out there (because I believe it's in fashion right now), so it was refreshing to absorb the information in a totally neutral context. This then enabled us to make up our own mind knowing full well that we couldn't actually plan how things will go down." - Helen
