Do you know how many stitches it can take to close a C-section?

Dozens.
Layer by layer.
Muscle. Fascia. Uterus. Skin.

And she’s expected to stand up and care for a newborn within hours.

Never underestimate a mother 🩷 Pass it on…

There are things everyone talks about when preparing for birth...

Pack your bag.
Install the car seat.
Wash the baby clothes.

But there are also things that matter deeply that most families never fully understand until they’re in the middle of labor.

Things like:
• Episiotomy vs. natural tearing
• Continuous vs. intermittent monitoring
• Movement and birth positions
• Why cervical checks are done (and when they’re not necessary)
• Newborn tests and procedures
• What’s routine… and what’s optional
• What is truly necessary for you and your baby

Here’s the difference.

A typical hospital birth class will teach you hospital rules and policies.
What to expect there.
How things are usually done.
And that has value.

But my class?
Call The Doula birth classes teach you your options.

Because birth is not one-size-fits-all.
And policies are not personal.

I teach you:
How to think critically.
How to ask informed questions.
How to decide what aligns with your values.
How to confidently say yes.
How to confidently say no.
How to understand what’s evidence-based and what’s simply routine.

You deserve to walk into your birth knowing:
Not just what they do…
But what you can choose.

When you understand your options, fear decreases.
When you understand your options, you feel empowered.
When you understand your options, you parent from confidence instead of confusion.

If you want to learn hospital policy, take a hospital class.
If you want to learn how to make decisions that are best for you and your baby, come to Call The Doula.
