Childbirth education for parents and providers who want the down-low on the low-down.
What is radical childbirth education?
Are you ready for a revolution in birth education? This is it.
An intimate course for singles, couples, and care providers that meets weekly via Zoom for 4 weeks. A curriculum that covers everything you could need to know with an educator with an array of experience that offers you not only the basics of pregnancy, labor, and birth but (here’s the really special part) because Joni has been a labor & delivery nurse, she’ll give you an inside look into hospital policies and procedures and into the minds of physicians and nurses.
This is birth education at its most bad-ass. Answering all your burning questions.
How do you navigate decision-making in the hospital when you’re not sure what your options are?
Can I say no? What can I say no to?
What is REALLY necessary and why?
When is a C-section required and when can you give it some time?
How do you know what really is an emergency?
