Welcome to the ultimate, no-nonsense childbirth education series brought to you by Stork Helpers. Designed specifically for expecting parents who want to feel confident, informed, and truly in control, this comprehensive class cuts through hospital jargon and Hollywood myths to deliver real, practical guidance for pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum recovery.

Led with compassion, humor, and decades of doula wisdom, this series walks you through everything hospitals forget to mention—ensuring you know your rights, your options, and how to advocate for yourself and your growing family.

What You’ll Learn Across the Series:

• Medical Interventions & Inductions: Understand the realities of medical inductions—from cervical ripening agents like Cytotec and Foley bulbs to managing Pitocin contractions, membrane sweeps, and avoiding unnecessary cascades of intervention.
• Triage & Delivery Day: Learn what to expect when you arrive at the hospital, how to navigate triage without feeling pressured, the stages of active labor and transition, creative and dynamic pushing positions, delayed cord clamping, and gentle approaches to cesarean births.
• Postpartum Recovery & Newborn Care: Master the crucial first weeks at home with the 5-5-5 Rule (rest, recovery, and boundary-setting), understanding emotional transitions (baby blues and postpartum anxiety), navigating infant feeding cues, vernix care, and managing postpartum healing like the queen you are.

Who This Is For:

Whether you are a first-time parent navigating the unknown or looking for deeper empowerment for subsequent births, this class equips you and your support partner to team up, make informed choices, and embrace your birth and postpartum journey with grace.
