Birth involves more than one person getting ready. We prepare all of them.

Childbirth Experts helps the person giving birth and everyone supporting them, a partner, a spouse, a sister, a doula, whoever shows up, get ready together for birth and the year that follows. Most birth preparation starts with one person's preferences or gives every support person the same advice. We prepare people for the different roles they'll actually have.

Your preferences are only half the preparation.

Most birth plans ask one person what they want. Most partner courses give every support person the same advice. Childbirth Experts starts with two roles: what the pregnant or birthing person needs, and what their chosen support person knows, fears, does well, and needs to practice. Your answers guide the conversations to have, the questions to bring to your care team, and the practical preparation to carry from labor into recovery and early parenting.
