Are you asking “what type of birth class should I take?” What do I need to know in order to have a peaceful homebirth? No I haven’t read your Google searches I just know when I was a first time mom I thought that all I needed was the best birth course and my birth would be perfect.

So in this episode I want to spill it all! These are the things you actually need to know in order to have a peaceful birth and it goes way beyond comfort measures and basic nutritional suggestions. Are you ready for this??
