Wildwood Birth Education Class Review
Wildwood Birth offers an easy-to-access, comprehensive resource to educate and guide parents through pregnancy, childbirth, and the earliest days of parenthood. Our instruction pulls from multiple methods and modalities of birth preparation and education systems to offer a well-rounded course.
The founders and instructors at Wildwood Birth are childbirth educators and doulas who realized that the hospital-based or online classes their clients were taking left them under-informed about what the experience of giving birth entails, sometimes resulting in unnecessary trauma. They knew there needed to be a radical change in how people prepare for birth.
They created Wildwood Birth Education in hopes that more people are prepared to give birth feeling informed, confident, and empowered; whether they plan to give birth at home, with the support of an epidural in the hospital; whether their birth is spontaneous or an induction; whether a planned or unplanned cesarean.
Length: 8 hours of course content, plus 8 hours of birth stories and lots of extras
Price: $179 includes their complete series of online chilbirth classes plus pregnancy guides, handout library, yoga & breathing practice videos and other bonus materials.

A unique element of Wildwood's on-demand course is their series of birth stories. You get to hear real-life accounts, some of which include birth footage, of a wide range of birth experiences. The diversity reflected in the people and experiences is utterly refreshing.
The childbirth class instructors understand that people’s individual situation and life experience will influence how they approach birth. Their objective is to inform you of your options, and the respective pro’s and con’s, so you may make an informed choice that is best for you and your baby.
The course holds a non-judgmental approach and normalizes the many factors that influence birth, and the many paths that babies take to enter the world.
Cons: The course is brand new so it hasn't had time to build up a bunch of reviews just yet.
