The YBGW birth class was so informative and helpful to me, especially as a first time mom! I have some blood clotting issues that prevented me from being able to have midwifery care through my pregnancy. What I learned in this class helped me so much in knowing what to request, what to say no to, and how to navigate prenatal care and birth in a hospital setting. I really appreciated how thorough Lori was in making sure we knew the pros and cons to each piece of standard care. This made me feel like I could confidently accept or deny various practices. When it came time to give birth, although it didn’t go quite like I had hoped, I knew enough about intervention options that I felt confident in making the best decision for me and my baby to have a safe delivery! Through the whole pregnancy and delivery process I had so much calmness and confidence in my bodies ability and design. This made a huge impact on how I felt going into birth!

It was exactly what I was looking for. Kept God in the center, was natural minded, gave both perspectives from the medical side and the natural side. You gave honest answers of the pros and cons to both sides which gave us the information to make the decision on our own. Felt like I am getting the whole truth of the situation and the reality of what it will be like to give birth...This class has been beyond valuable and I'm so glad that I signed up!!

You are very knowledgeable and I loved learning alongside other Christians who want to bring God back into our birth process.

I loved how God-centered this entire course was. When you choose to go a natural route for the birth of your baby there are a lot of birth educators out there who advocate for natural births but it's rooted in new age-like things and not the word of God. I loved that she put a lot of emphasis on God being the creator of all things and that He created the female body. This gives a strong biblical foundation for your birth. Another thing I also loved was how encouraging it was and super informative. Lori is a well of knowledge when it comes to all things pregnancy and birth/postpartum and I think her past experiences both as a midwife in the medical and the non-medical field allow for her to bring expertise and knowledge beyond most birth-educators, because she has insight on both "sides".

You totally over-delivered on this class and I felt that if there were any questions/concerns we could ask and get real down to earth responses.

Not only did I learn so much, but I am better able to explain my reasoning to my husband who isn’t quite in the same place. I’m sounding less and less crazy to him the more information I’ve been able to share. He even said he would go back and listen to the recordings!

Thank you soooo much Lori! this course definitely exceeded my expectations & has given me confidence to embrace a natural birth without fear. I feel blessed that it was available for me right at the perfect time.

There was lots of good husband info peppered through course, I want to share those parts with my husband so I'll have to note down times etc to replay specific bits to him.

Extremely positive, took aware fear, incorporated God into everything, covered more than I had imagined - pregnancy / birth / breastfeeding etc. Q&A was great.

The positive Godly affirmations made me prepared for the purpose God created me for and having confidence in his truth over fear made the biggest difference.

Rooted in Christ, everything went back to Him.
