A C-section is birth.

Many mamas associate C-sections with failure — like there’s something “wrong” with them that’s getting in the way of having a “real” birth.

Girl, that’s society talking. And society is flat wrong. Delivering by C-section is giving birth, not just having surgery. That means you deserve childbirth education tailored to your specific needs.

Birth It Up: The C-Section Series answers every what-if so you can approach your birth with confidence and a sense of control.

Adopt a positive mindset for a better C-section experience
Eliminate anxiety and fear about the procedure itself
Prepare your partner to offer calm, knowledgeable support

Birth It Up: The C-Section Series is for mamas who want to:

N
Feel at ease about a birth experience that may be different from what you imagined
N
Discover how to make your C-section birth feel less surgical
N
Understand what to expect before, during, and after the procedure
N
Know how to advocate for yourself and your baby during and after your C-section
N
Be educated about and ready for your unique recovery process

We’ve celebrated with thousands of families just like yours.

I took your BIU C-Section class. Having a twin pregnancy and some medical complications made a C-Section the right choice for our delivery. Your class was super informative and helped me feel prepared for what was going to happen!

Your course single handedly gave me SO MUCH confidence especially for the epidural for my planned C-section! I was so prepped for how to sit and relax that I swear the IV was worse than every other step.

Loving your C-section class! We are learning so much. Thank you for filling in the educational gap in this area!
