Childbirth Classes empower birthing families with information to understand and navigate the process of labor and birth, as smoothly as possible. It is about answering the most burning questions, as well as those families don't know to ask, such as when to head to the hospital, what to expect in each of the stages of labor, self-advocacy techniques, how to improve your chances of achieving the birth you desire, and what to do if things veer off course.​Our Education classes are Evidence-Based and have been carefully and thoughtfully created by our team of Birth Experts to give you the tools you need and to build your birthing confidence, in a fun and friendly atmosphere.

We highly recommend bringing your birthing partner to all of your Childbirth Classes. This can be a spouse, friend, parent, or anyone who you plan to have support you in your labor and baby's birth. Much of the curriculum is focused on communicating with and utilizing your support people to improve your experience of labor and birth.​

Our Childbirth Classes consist of groups of up to 15 people or couples, meeting online or in-person to learn about and prepare for childbirth. Is childbirth class worth it? Absolutely. Studies prove education improves birth outcomes, reduces c-sections, and improves self-reported birth satisfaction, while decreasing birth trauma. For these reasons, we thoroughly believe in quality education for everyone! We'd love for you to take a look at our Reviews to see for yourself, just how helpful our classes are have been for others. Chances are, if you are asking the question, "Should I take a childbirth class?" -- the answer is absolutely yes!

A Childbirth Educator is someone who has completed formal training in learning the ins-and-outs of birth (pun intended!), and uses this knowledge to teach expectant families the information, skills and strategies to achieve a positive and empowering birth experience.

It is recommended to complete your education between 24-36 weeks of Pregnancy. You want the information to be fresh, but you don't want to risk missing classes due to an early birth!

While there are certainly benefits of attending Childbirth classes in person, our online Childbirth Classes have made it possible for everyone to access quality education from anywhere in the world!​If you're in or near Baltimore or Bethesda, MD, join us for in-person classes at one of our studio locations! If elsewhere, our Online Childbirth Classes could be a great option for you.  Check out the Schedule for options.

Dress comfortably in something that will allow you to move around - such as yoga pants or loungewear.

We recommend bringing anything that makes you comfortable. This could be a snack, bottle of water, or maybe your favorite pillow to sit on! Your comfort is our priority.

Sometimes! Many expecting parents are able to receive reimbursement from their insurance companies for their Childbirth Education Classes. The Womb Room happily supports this.
