What is the definitive guide to creating a confident birth experience by Hilary Erickson?

Hi, I’m Hilary Erickson from The Pregnancy Nurse. How can I help?

When I talk about a “definitive guide” to creating a confident birth, I’m really talking about a few pillars I teach over and over:

• Get real education, not just TikToks – a comprehensive prenatal class that covers vaginal birth, induction, cesarean, pain options, postpartum, and newborns (not just “how to go natural” or just “how to push”)
• Practice asking questions at your prenatal visits so you’re comfortable speaking up in the hospital
• Think through birth preferences instead of a rigid birth “plan,” and stay flexible
• Involve your partner so they’re a true teammate, not just a cheerleader in the corner

I wrap all of that into my online prenatal class, which is designed to walk you and your partner through exactly what to expect at the hospital so you feel prepared instead of blindsided.

Are you pregnant now, or just planning ahead for a future birth?
