Preparing for Birth
Getting ready for baby’s big day? Our Preparing for Birth hub keeps it simple and calm with mom-tested guides: What to Pack in a Hospital Bag, How to Create a Birth Plan, Prenatal Classes and Resources, and Tips for Dealing with Anxiety About Childbirth. Start where you need most support, then follow the rest to feel informed, organized, and confident.
During Labor
During Labor is your calm, mom-to-mom guide for the big day. Find clear answers on pain management—from epidurals to natural comfort tools and nitrous—plus easy visuals for labor positions like walking, squatting, or using a birth ball to keep things moving. We break down the stages of labor so you know what’s happening (and how to cope) from early to active to transition, and explain inducing labor—when it’s recommended, what the procedures look like, and how to stay comfortable and informed throughout. One place for practical tips, steady reassurance, and choices that fit you.
Type of Delivery
Type of Delivery is your go-to hub for understanding how babies make their big debut. Explore vaginal birth stories and practical tips for unmedicated or low-intervention births, get ready for a C-section—planned or unexpected—with calm, step-by-step guidance, and learn whether VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) could be a safe option for you, including real experiences and candid talks about risks and criteria. We also explain assisted delivery—when tools like forceps or a vacuum may be used—and what to expect if your provider recommends them. Clear, compassionate info so you can feel informed, supported, and confident—whatever path your birth takes.
