Why Go Natural?

One in every two to three births in Louisiana is a cesarean. (Look up your hospital here.) Whether you desire an unmedicated homebirth or want the anesthesiologist to meet you in the hospital parking lot, Birth Boot Camp thoroughly educates you and your partner as a team. Together you'll learn how to avoid unnecessary interventions, make informed decisions, and remove  fear and anxiety as influences on your pain or progress to help you get the birth you want!

 Why Take a Childbirth Class?

Birth Boot Camp is modern, fun, comprehensive, and up to date. Instead of teaching a "method" Birth Boot Camp trains couples to use a plethora of practical tools to have in their toolbox for their own unique labor and birth. The 10-week class format truly brings couples together as a team with a unified goal and strategy. You will leave feeling not just informed and prepared, but supported and encouraged by a group of like-minded parents rooting for you to achieve your goals!

What Makes Birth Boot Camp Different?

Birth Boot Camp is not a "method." It is based on the Mother-Friendly Childbirth Initiative. It will teach you lots of different tools to have on hand in your tool box, but it won't tell you that all women should use the same tool. It  does not appoint dad to the role of "birth coach." Instead, it teaches dad how to recognize how best to love and support mom and teaches couples how to work together to grow even closer through the process. And, with different interactive activities, games, prizes, exercises, and relaxation each week, Birth Boot Camp is FUN for both mom AND dad!
