Learn labor positions & comfort techniques
Learn when to use certain laboring positions, and how to apply different counter pressure techniques to help your partner find relief during labor! The e-book is filled with quick tip ideas on how to help too, such as making sure their water is filled up!
Workout in Preparation for Labor & Labor Support
We often forget how physical labor support can be! It can leave partners fatigued and worn out, right alongside their partner who just gave birth!! Our 4-week program has an emphasis on chest, triceps, and lower back to help you feel strong throughout contractions!
Plan for the Postpartum
We incorporate eight conversational prompts for you and your partner to discuss with one another. These prompts will help you plan for the postpartum period, such as how do we plan to continue to bond as partners, and also individually with our child/older children?
Example Curriculum
Hey! We are Gina & Barron!
We have two children, and two very different birth stories. But, each experience still involved a lot of support from my husband during birth.
We developed this program together based on our experience having had two long labors that required a lot of counter pressure and physical support!!
We want to help you physically prepare for birth, feel confident that you can guide your partner into helpful laboring positions and provide comfort; and encourage conversation and planning for the postpartum.
