Why Take a Childbirth Course?
Preparing for childbirth is about more than just knowing when to go to the hospital or what to pack in your birth bag. It’s about understanding your body, your choices, and how to navigate labor with confidence. A childbirth course helps you feel prepared, supported, and empowered—whether you’re planning a hospital birth, home birth, or something in between.
But with so many different classes available, how do you choose the right one? Let’s explore the options and find one that truly supports you.
Types of Childbirth Courses
Hospital or Medically-Based Birth Education Classes
These are childbirth classes often offered by hospitals or medical institutions. They typically cover hospital policies, standard procedures, and pain management options, focusing on what to expect in a medical setting. While they provide useful logistical information, they may not always emphasize evidence-based birth practices or holistic approaches.
Best for parents planning a hospital birth who want to understand medical procedures and protocols.
Movement-Based Birth Classes
Classes that focus on movement, breathwork, and body awareness can help you connect with your baby and prepare for a smoother labor. These often incorporate prenatal yoga, functional movement, or labor positions to support an active birth.
Best for parents who want a body-centered approach to labor preparation.
Looking for a movement-based birth course? PassoAoParto offers a unique approach, blending movement, art, and meditation to prepare for birth with confidence and calm.
Holistic & Meditation-Based Birth Courses
These classes combine meditation, visualization, and relaxation techniques to help you develop a calm and confident mindset for birth.
Best for those seeking a mind-body connection and tools for reducing fear and anxiety.
Art-Based Childbirth Education
For a unique approach, art-based birth preparation combines creativity, storytelling, and guided expression to help you process emotions around birth and connect deeply with the experience.
Best for parents who enjoy creative expression and want to explore birth from a deeper, intuitive place.
PassoAoParto also incorporates art-based techniques to help parents connect with their birthing experience in a creative, intuitive way.
Partner-Inclusive & Doula-Led Courses
Some classes focus on birth support, teaching partners how to help during labor and birth. Doula-led courses also emphasize advocacy, comfort techniques, and understanding birth choices.
Best for those who want hands-on tools for their partner or birth team.
PassoAoParto includes partner-friendly techniques, making it a great choice if you want your birth team to feel prepared and involved.
Online & Self-Paced Courses
For flexibility, online childbirth courses let you learn at your own pace. They often include video lessons, downloadable guides, and access to instructors for questions.
Best for parents who need schedule flexibility or live in areas with limited in-person options.
PassoAoParto offers both online and in-person options, making it accessible no matter where you are.
How to Choose the Right Childbirth Course
Think about your birth goals. Do you want a natural birth? A medicated birth? A holistic experience?
Consider your learning style. Do you prefer hands-on movement, structured lessons, or creative approaches?
Look for a class that aligns with your values. If advocacy, body awareness, or emotional preparation matter to you, choose a course that supports those elements.
Ask for recommendations. Doulas, midwives, and birth educators (like Nanda!) can help you find a course that fits your needs.
