The Online Prenatal Class for Couples

I know that some websites are touting that classes are free with insurance from the affordable care act, but it really on your policy (and sometimes your state).

Some insurances and employers do offer to compensate you for the course, so I would encourage you to check with them by calling their customer service number or your HR and checking for your policy.

I can give you my RN License #, my provider tax ID, along with this info that usually covers it:
Diagnosis code: Z32.2
Procedure code: S9436

I am happy to provide any other information you need.  FYI, I've never had a student who's insurance said they covered it who didn't get it covered with the information I have.

Some insurances do cover a childbirth class, and your receipt of my class should be enough to be reimbursed (but I would certainly call before expecting that).  I do provide a receipt that says what it was and who I am.

HSA rules seem to vary a bit by provider, but a class that covers about the delivery of your baby is covered, so I would expect it to be elligible, but of course -- I would talk to your tax man before you plan on that too. :)

Note:  HSA cards often won't work with the teachable system, so you may have to reimburse yourself from it.  Those cards often only work at direct pharmacies or doctor's offices.

Yes, Breastfeeding Basics is included with the Bump to Bassinet Bundle.  If you'd prefer to purchase it along with the online course you can do so for a small fee within the course.

It really depends on your learning style and how much time you have.  The minimum would probably be 2-3 hours, just to watch the videos (which can be sped up).

It means as long as the course is available on the internet, you will have access to it.  Any further updates, or changes to your level of access -- you'll get those too.

Pretty great, right?

A few options:

1)  Just put in your giftee's email address instead of your own at check out (happy to also email you a gift receipt if you send an email to hello@pullingcurls.com)

2)  Use your own email at checkout and then email me so I can switch everything over to them.

3)  If you'd like you give the gift yourself -- just purchase the class, and then email me.  I can give you a 100% gift code that they can "purchase" the class themselves.

Any questions at all -- just email hello@pullingcurls.com

Our no-risk 14 day refund policy is simple:

Get in there, try the class.  If, within 14 days, you find that it isn't a good fit for you just email me and we will refund your money.

We do ask you to fill-out a quick form just to help us do better, but that's it.

I want you prepared more than I want you nervous this class isn't great.

Absolutely not.  However, I wanted Dads/Partners to feel involved and appreciated in this class.

There are couples questions, but you could totally skip that part very easily.  You could also invite whoever is coming into your birth space with you (mom, friend, etc) to do the questions with you too.

I have had many single parents take this class and really enjoy it.  The items for couples are pretty separate, so you can skip them (or ask yourself those questions as many will help prepare you for what to expect.

Many classes I have looked at seem to be targeted towards a specific "type" of mom:

I believe & created this class is for every mom planning a hospital/birth center delivery.  Because I have always supported moms and their  choices at the bedside, this class does the same.

Planning on a natural or even a cesarean birth -- because birth is so unpredictable, this class covers all of it.

I think the best time to really focus on your birth class is around 30-34 weeks.  I think trying to finish a month or so before your due date is ideal, but not everyone is able to do that.

I do recommend purchasing a class once you find one that is a good fit for you, even if it's early in your pregnancy.  I encourage couples to start shopping for a course around 20 weeks of pregnancy.

Even if you're within days or weeks of your due date, you CAN finish the class in a day or two.  So, unless you're in labor RIGHT now -- there's still time!

I love a good doula, but if you plan to deliver in the hospital there may be interventions your doula isn't aware of that you could benefit from knowing about.  I would definitely recommend taking a prenatal class, even if you are using a doula or a certified nurse midwife.

I recommend you take a:

• Class on how to know if you're in labor
• Class on managing labor & labor pain
• Class on postpartum life & what to expect
• Class on basic newborn care
• A breastfeeding class

The good news is The Bump to Bassinet Bundle covers all of those things.  I'm excited to be able to offer it to you in ones spot!

You may be wondering what the classes are called before you have a baby, because you'll find that they're called many things.  Birth classes, childbirth class, pregnancy classes.

The Online Prenatal Class for Couples is NOT just for managing pain (as some of those are).  It is really about the entire process and what to expect throughout the whole thing to decrease anxiety and manage your expectations of birth.

As a hospital birth expert, Hilary will take you through the process step by step to really get you prepared.

We also include natural pain management.  Truly the best of all worlds.

In an ongoing study couples show that this class decreased their birth anxiety 100% among respondents.  Couples also felt much more prepared for birth.

If you are looking to get prepared for birth, the science shows this class is the right one for you, and will give you a better pregnancy and birth experience.

This class is being constantly updated and added to.  Hilary reads studies weekly to be able to give you the most research-backed information available.

Fun fact: The Online Prenatal Class for Couples has been around since 2016.  It was one of the first online prenatal classes out there.  I am really proud to have been around with it that long and a pioneer for online prenatal education.

Since 2016 it has had three MAJOR updates, and is in the midst of it's 4th update.  All information is available in each section, I am slowly editing videos and replacing the previous versions.

Every year, thousands of couples take this class and rave about it!

You can be sure that the course is up to date as possible and I am constantly vigilant about making sure it gives you what you need to know.

This class aims to meet you at how you like to learn.  The classes incorporate:

• Audio
• Video
• Written Material
• Quizzes
• Printables
• Couples questions

Finally, an online birth class for couples that is able to teach you how YOU learn best (and partners can pick what works for them)

Once you tell them it's not that long, they may be on board.  Remember the MAIN class is just 3 hours.

If they're still not willing, perhaps grab the Bump to Bassinet Bundle and just watch a key point video every night.  Most of those are 5-10 minutes and really give the cliff notes versions of the chapters.

Your partner may surprise you.  Just tell them this is important to you, and show them all the reviews written by men that may change their mind!  I really did create this class to engage them too.  Many couples actually call it "fun" which is a real win for me (and them!).

This class is not about home birth.  At all.  It is entirely about the birthing process in a hospital setting.

However, many home births do end-up at the hospital due to increasing risks or prolonged labor.

Having some knowledge about what might happen in the hospital would be very helpful in those cases.
