My wife and I absolutely loved this course. The best thing about it was being able to take it from the comfort of our home, do the exercises, try the methods, and not feel awkward about doing it in front of other people. There was no pressure, and it was easy to follow the instructions and guidance from the instructor videos.
The biggest take-away we got from the course was the different positions and methods to try. These kept my wife comfortable throughout labor, and she was able to do the completely natural, drug-free birth she dreamed of. Also, the forms that we filled out so that our doctor had all the information they needed about how we wanted things to go were invaluable. We gave birth at our local hospital, so we weren't sure how doing things naturally would go. But with the resources we got from the course, it went smoother than we could have ever hoped.
I am the dad, so it is hard for me to give any advice to mamas. My role is so much different, and I do not attempt to take anything away from the mamas who do the heroic work of giving birth. But I will say that my wife was blown away by the results this course offered. The birth was magical, and we talk about it all the time. My wife’s friends always commend her on giving birth naturally, and we couldn’t have done it without the help of this course. To the dads: This course will give you the tools you need to support your beautiful wife through this process. I don’t want to toot my own horn here, but my wife says she couldn’t have done it without me. I know she could have, she is incredibly strong. But to hear those words is so empowering and makes me feel like a kid again. It is good to be needed, and what I learned in this course made my wife absolutely need me on that bed the night our beautiful baby was born.
