FAQs

What is The Birth & the Bees?

It’s a cozy, evidence-based childbirth + postpartum prep class covering pregnancy, labour, birth, feeding, and early days with baby. Real talk, practical tools, and a space to ask anything—so you feel more prepared, supported, and grounded going into it all.

Who is this class for?

This is for anyone who is pregnant and wants to feel more prepared going into birth and postpartum, whether it’s your first baby or not. Partners/support people are absolutely encouraged to come.

Do I bring my partner/support person?

Yes, please do! They’ll learn how to actually support you in labour (what helps, what doesn’t, and what to expect postpartum too).

We also have a separate Support Person session where we go even deeper.

When should I take this class?

Most people take it in the second half of pregnancy (around 20–34 weeks), but honestly — anytime before baby arrives works.

What kind of birth does this class support?

All of them.

Hospital, home birth, epidural, unmedicated, planned cesarean (belly birth), VBAC…you’ll get information and tools for your kind of birth.

What will we actually learn?

We cover:

– how labour works (and how to know it’s really happening)

– comfort measures + positioning

– partner support (what to do in the moment)

– interventions + options

– feeding your baby (breast/bodyfeeding + bottle)

– postpartum recovery + hormones

– what those early days actually look like
