Anyone who has experienced the excitement and challenges of pregnancy knows that as soon as that little blue line appears, so too does a seemingly endless list of things to prepare for. From setting up the nursery to picking out baby clothes, everything adds up. But when it comes to preparing for childbirth, it’s easy to wonder: “Is a birth class really necessary?”
Well, we might be a little biased, but the answer is a resounding YES! Especially when it comes to an online birth class. Here are five simple reasons why the time and investment you make in an online birth class will be money well spent.
1. Prepare for Labor
No matter where you’re having your baby, you’ll experience labor. It’s hard work, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With an online birth class, you’ll have the opportunity to prepare for the sensations of labor from the comfort of your home. Understanding what’s happening during each phase of labor and learning how to relax and manage the sensations can make a huge difference in how you experience it.
In our online classes, you’ll learn the natural rhythms of labor and how to manage them. With all the uncertainty that can come with childbirth, knowing what to expect can ease your anxiety and even allow you to enjoy the process more.
2. Your Birth Partner
Most women want their partner by their side during birth, but how do you prepare your partner to be supportive and confident? Unfortunately, many partners don’t know what to expect or how to help. A great online birth class teaches them exactly how to support you throughout labor—no guessing, no standing on the sidelines feeling helpless.
With hands-on tools and tips tailored for your partner’s role, they’ll feel empowered to be your biggest cheerleader. By the time the big day arrives, they’ll be ready to step in and support you through each contraction, helping you both feel more connected and prepared.

3. Understanding Policies
The birth experience of today is far different from that of 1,000 years ago. While birth is generally safer, the modern maternity system comes with more decisions and options, and navigating those choices can be overwhelming. An online childbirth class gives you the tools to understand hospital policies, informed consent, and your rights during labor.
With clear guidance, you’ll be able to make informed decisions that align with your goals—whether that’s choosing interventions or avoiding them altogether. Understanding your options before you’re in the heat of the moment can reduce stress and ensure you’re both confident in the choices you’re making.
4. Build Confidence
The difference between a birth filled with fear and uncertainty and one filled with confidence and excitement often boils down to preparation. Going into childbirth with knowledge is the key to transforming any anxiety into calm confidence. Our online childbirth classes are taught by experienced professionals who provide clear, expert advice on everything from labor pain management to postpartum care.
By the time your birth arrives, you’ll feel not only prepared but excited. You’ll understand how your body works during labor, know what to expect, and have practical tools to handle anything that comes your way.
5. Convenience
Life is busy—there’s no getting around it. With an online birth class, you don’t have to worry about scheduling conflicts or long drives to in-person classes. You get to learn at your own pace, on your own time. And with our 30-day money-back guarantee and 12 months of access, you have the flexibility to revisit any material whenever you need it.
No matter where you are or what your schedule looks like, our online classes offer a convenient, supportive option for expectant parents. You get the benefit of comprehensive, expert-led content from the comfort of your home.
Is it worth it? Absolutely! Investing in an online birth class isn’t just about preparing for labor—it’s about setting yourself and your partner up for a calm, confident, and informed birth experience. Birth can be unpredictable, but with the right preparation, you can navigate whatever comes your way.
