Welcome to Birth Story Academy. In this course, you will learn everything you need to know to prepare for a hospital birth from your virtual doula, me- Heidi whether you have spontaneous labor, are induced, or have a planned or unplanned cesarean. Over my 20 years as a doula, I took every birth course I could get my hands on, read every single book, took all the online courses, and found a giant piece of the puzzle missing. Hospital Birth! It is very easy to find courses on how to have a completely unmedicated birth at home. But what about the 97% birthing in a hospital who need to learn to navigate hospital policies and protocols. My birth doula clients have a less than 7% Cesarean Rate. Learning from and working with me reduces my client’s relative risk of a C-section by 78%. So, I took everything that my private doula clients get for $3,500+ and packaged it together for you for just 10% of that - $349. In 20 short and fun modules that are easily digestible for you and your partner (if applicable) will have me as your virtual doula and will feel totally prepared for your hospital birth.

I teach you:

• How to know if you are in labor

  • Seriously, the difference between prodromal labor, Braxton Hicks, and early labor.

• The stages and signposts of labor

  • This is broken down easily for you and your birth partner to understand where you are at in the labor process, when to make moves to the hospital based on your birth preferences and every single decision you will face once you walk through the hospital door!

• Partner tips

  • Some want to stay up North, some want to catch the baby, some are afraid of blood, some have anxiety. This course includes tons of partner tips to help your birth partner show up for you in unique ways.

• How to write birth plans that advocate for you (templates included)

  • Spontaneous labor, Inductions (we dive deep), and Belly Births

• Hospital Policies and Procedures

  • How to advocate when you want something different for your body and baby
