KIND WORDS

READ WHAT OTHER FAMILIES HAVE TO SAY ABOUT BIRTH BY DESIGN CHILDBIRTH EDUCATION.

“Without this course, I am sure I would have panicked during labor because I didn’t know what my body was doing. because of that, I would have likely given in to some kind of intervention. my husband was educated from [the course] and was a huge help during labor, reminding me everything is part of the process and my body is working properly. I am happy to say that we did achieve a natural, drug-free water birth… I couldn’t imagine doing it any other way.”

“Laikyn was an amazing, supportive teacher. my husband and i were nervous preparing for the birth of our first child, bur this course made us both feel confident that we knew what was happening, and we could get through labor and delivery together… our baby boy arrived safe and healthy, and thanks to this course, we were also prepared for the postpartum phase, especially immediate skin to skin and breastfeeding. I highly recommend this course for any first-time parents or parents who are trying for an unmedicated birth the first time. you won’t regret it!”

“I had a fear going into this class that the focus would be “have a epidural free birth” but instead I found that the focus was “BE INFORMED”! Interventions can be incredibly valuable and have their place but know the risks and be informed about birth and your body so YOU can make the best decisions for yourself and your baby. I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to learn more about birth and my body and in turn have a labor and delivery where I felt heard, respected and confident in my bodies’ ability to birth our sweet daughter into this world!”

“Before meeting Laikyn, I had no idea what my options were during birth. We decided to go to classes to be more informed and also prepare for a natural birth! I went into labor with confidence that I could do it, and we welcomed a healthy baby boy completely natural! Laikyn was a fantastic cheerleader and advocate for natural birth and I truly couldn’t have done it without these classes. I highly recommend for everyone!”

“No training we read about or participated in was so intentional about making the experience of birth something husband and wife do together, making birth truly an event for the couple. i felt more prepared, capable, and calm than i ever would have - and more so than any of my friends were when their wives had babies. learning together about what the woman’s body is doing in labor and birth made us truly a team in childbirth.”

“Most men know absolutely nothing about childbirth except what we see in movies. in a life experience as important as the birth of my child, i felt like it was my responsibility to learn about birth. after taking the course, i understood that natural birth is the safest for mom and baby, and that all interventions come with risk. we were able to have a completely natural birth with no interventions and i am so grateful for this course for preparing us and allowing us to have a wonderful birth experience.”
