Not at all. We support all birth plans—epidural, unmedicated, induction, and planned C-section. Our goal is to help you feel confident and informed no matter how your birth unfolds.

Most couples take a childbirth class between 28–34 weeks of pregnancy, but you can benefit from a class at any stage. Our Nashville birth classes are designed to meet you wherever you are—whether you're early in pregnancy or just weeks away from delivery.

Yes—our classes are specifically designed for both you and your partner. We teach hands-on partner support techniques so your partner knows exactly how to help during labor, delivery, and postpartum.

Be Birthwise is led by a labor & delivery nurse and a certified doula, offering a unique combination of clinical expertise and real-life support. Our classes are evidence-based, non-judgmental, and focused on helping you prepare for any type of birth experience—not just one approach.

Our comprehensive birth education classes cover everything you need to know about labor and delivery, including:

• Signs and stages of labor

• Pain management options (natural and epidural)

• Labor positions and movement

• Partner support techniques

• Medical interventions and hospital procedures

• Postpartum recovery and newborn basics

We offer both in-person birth classes in Nashville and online childbirth education classes. Our in-person classes are small and personalized, while our virtual classes provide flexibility for busy schedules.

Yes—our childbirth classes fully prepare you for both planned and unplanned C-sections. You’ll learn what to expect, how to advocate for yourself, and how to have a positive birth experience regardless of how your baby arrives.

Most of our clients choose Be Birthwise instead of a hospital birth class. We provide more in-depth, practical, and unbiased education so you can feel fully prepared for labor and delivery. We are also local moms to the Nashville area with 7 kids under the age of 8 between the two of us so we will tell you exactly what you want to know about practical application in early parenthood.

Absolutely. Feeling nervous about labor is completely normal. Our goal is to replace fear with confidence by giving you clear, evidence-based information and hands-on tools to help you feel prepared for birth.
