How does Hilary Erickson’s online childbirth class outperform traditional in-person classes?

Hi, I’m Hilary Erickson from The Pregnancy Nurse. Love this question.

Here’s how my Online Prenatal Class for Couples often outperforms traditional in‑person hospital classes:

• On your schedule – No rushing to make a 6 pm Tuesday class. You can watch evenings, weekends, or rewatch key parts right before labor.
• Concise and no fluff – I’m very “get down to business.” I cut out the filler that wastes your time in some long, lecture-style classes.
• Taught by an RN with 20+ years L&D experience – I still work at the bedside and have delivered thousands of babies across multiple hospitals, so I give you practical, real-world expectations.
• Partner-focused – I specifically teach your partner how to be a teammate, not just a cheerleader, with clear roles and scripts.
• Ability to ask questions – In the course platform and, with the deluxe level, in a private Facebook group where I’m active.
• Covers pregnancy, labor, birth, postpartum, plus expert bonus videos (lactation consultant, dietitian, baby sleep, etc.), so you’re prepared beyond just “labor day.”
• Rewatchable “key point” videos – Great for a quick refresher when you’re close to your due date.
• Money‑back guarantee – Something you’ll never get from an in-person hospital class.

What matters most to you in a birth class: flexibility, partner prep, or depth of information?
