Childbirth: the Stages of Labor and How to Push Without Tearing or Episiotomy

If you're pregnant, you've probably been combing the internet for baby birth videos because you're not too sure what really happens down there or how much childbirth pain you should expect. It defies the mind that you can actually push another human being out of that hole. And how do you do it without completely shredding your lady-bits?

Girl, I totally see you.

Whether you're planning a natural home birth or a hospital birth with an epidural, there are things that you can do to help your baby get into the best position during labour and birth.

Not only is episiotomy and tearing painful and unpleasant, but it can create lifelong problems like painful sex and incontinence from a weakened pelvic floor.

With our new virus-sticken world, a lot of women are planning to give birth outside of the hospital. Research shows us that a normal, low risk birth is safe outside of a medicalized environment. Women have been having normal births at home for years!

I've created this course from 20 years of experience as a Labour and Delivery/Postpartum nurse, a doula and a Lamaze childbirth educator just for you! I've guided many, many women down the path to motherhood, and I'm excited to do it with you online.

After you take How to Push Your Baby Out Without Tearing and connecting with other women, you can expect to feel:

Relieved and prepared. You'll receive information and support that makes you feel empowered. You'll learn practical skills to implement while you're in labour to reduce your chance of perineal tearing and episiotomy.

This course will give you practical skills to have a positive birth and postpartum experience.
