This is not your average childbirth class!

Our instructors have helped expectant families for a combined 45+ years...and they’re all parents themselves. We cover the nitty gritty of labor, childbirth, and postpartum, so you’re as ready as you can be. We also touch on how different cultures and generations view childbirth and the postpartum period, so you can navigate those complexities with grace.

After this class, you’ll be able to:

• Prepare for giving birth–mentally, physically, and logistically
• Identify 3rd trimester symptoms
• Name the stages of labor and their typical symptoms, knowing when it’s “go time”
• Differentiate between methods of pain management
• Navigate the stages of birth, with a medical team (vaginal or cesarean)
• Maximize the benefits of The Golden Hour
• Care for your body and spirit in the days and weeks immediately after birth
• Implement strategies for grown-up self-care during birth and postpartum
• Seek help from trusted sources when needed

Hear from one of our real learners, Cassidy Oeltjen, on why she chose Nurtured Nest and will continue to learn from us throughout parenthood.

Why do you need Nurtured Nest classes?

Love is instinctual, parenting is not. Taking a parenting class is not a reflection on your ability—in fact it’s the opposite. Nurtured Nest opens a collective sum of experience and knowledge to navigate the overwhelm and demand of parenting, allowing you to make the best decisions for your family.

Just like taking golf lessons to strengthen your swing, taking a parenting class is an investment in your personal growth [and your children’s future]. And while we don’t have a crystal ball, we are fairly confident that a good parenting day can feel just like a hole in one.
