YOUR BODY, YOUR BIRTH ONLINE COURSE
get ready to experience your own birth high
Are you ready to walk away from your birth experience saying "I can't wait to do that again?"
I'm ready to enroll
Horror stories, fear-mongering
+ feeling like you don't know what to do?
Horror stories, fear-mongering
+ feeling like you don't know what choices you actually have?
YOU WON'T FIND ANY OF THAT HERE.
tell me if any of this feels familiar:
It feels like everyone only has super negative things to say about hospital birth
You've read the books, scrolled endlessly, taken your mom's advice, and you still feel scared, nervous + not prepared
You sit at your prenatal appointments and wish you knew what to ask, how to ask, and how to tell them what you want
Everyone keeps talking about the "best" way to birth, but you really just want to figure out your own best version
(raises hand)...this is you? Perfect - then I need to tell you something, okay?
(raises hand)...this is you? Perfect - then I need to tell you something, okay?
You're so tired of everyone telling you all the things you should or shouldn't do (hello, you can form your own opinions)
or maybe you've got questions like:
01. Will the hospital help me have birth without an epidural?
02. Do I have to be monitored the whole time?
03. Is there anyway I can prevent tearing during pushing?
04. What can my partner actually do to help me?
05. How do I get anyone to actually listen to my birth plan?
06. Am I going to be able to handle contraction pain?
07. What does the nurse do if I poop when I'm pushing?
08. How do I get through the "ring of fire?"
09. What happens with baby after they're born?
10. Will the nurses help me breastfeed?
That hospital birth class, your prenatal appointments, or the endless scrolling are not where you're going to find the support you need to have the birth you want (hospital or otherwise).
THe hospital is not where all good births get ruined (I should know, I've had 4 & been the NURSE FOR THOUSANDS).
but you know what is true?
but you know what is true?
Let's get something clear right away.
get the support YOU need
here's the real problem:
It takes time - intentional time - to be taught all that you need to know to have the birth you want. Your provider? They don't have the extra minutes to answer all your Q's. The hospital birth class? Too short + focused on procedures and policies. The algorithm? Its only goal is to hook you and keep you.
Listen - I know there are resources available to you. Google + IG are real. But none of them have you, your worries, and your hopes at the heart of what they're giving you.
Listen - I know there are resources available to you. Google + IG are real. But none of them have you, your worries, and your hopes at the heart of what they're giving you.
AND all of them have biases towards the money, tHE policies, or the rules behind them (aka...your hopes? - not the focus)
- Education that doesn't push you towards a certain type of birth
- Someone to teach you what the evidence says and how you can push back against policy that doesn't support it (if you want to)
- A place to dig into when the misinformation wheel is spinning in your direction
- A resource that can show you how to say no, ask why, and design a clear path to the birth you want
- Someone who doesn't use fear to make you decide - about anything
- A friend you trust, who genuinely has YOUR best interests at heart
WHAT YOU REALLY NEED IS -

"This is just the way we do it" is alive + well.

You can find that with me.
meet your teacher
empathy of a mama,
education of a nurse
Before I had my own FOUR babies, I was a labor, delivery + postpartum nurse who delivered thousands of babies at a Level II hospital. And if I learned anything in those years at the bedside, it's that patients (like you) aren't getting the education you need to have the birth you deserve.
My birth classes (finally) change that. They're a unique blend of all my experiences as nurse and as mother - so you're getting the clinical stuff you need to know, but we're combining it with real life too.
Once you spend some time with me you're going to know ALL of your options, you're going to feel prepared and confident when that first contractions hits, and you're going to believe your body can do this.
Bonus? You're going to genuinely know you can LOVE it all too.
lo mansfield, RN, mSN, CLC
At The Labor Mama, I believe that every person deserves access to full pregnancy, birth & postpartum education - education that should come without "bests" and "shoulds."
This is what makes my courses different.
This is what makes my courses so different.
In my courses, you will get comprehensive, evidence-based childbirth education with ONLY ONE agenda - to turn you into the confident, powerful, prepared mama that I know you can be.
you're going to confidently navigate:
pregNancy | DECISION MAKING | Prenatal appointments | hospital birth | MEDICATIONS
unmedicated birth | cesarean birth | POST-BIRTH CHOICES | eaRLY NEWBORN
let's get started
you're going to confidently navigate:
Here's WHY my eDucation works for you:
- I'm not tied to a certain type of birth for you - so you are going to get the information you need about ALL of your options, no matter how this plays out or how you want this to look.
- There is no "best" type of birth inside of my head - hospital, birth center, cesarean, home, induction...you're going to know about all of them because you're the only one who gets to decide what's right for you
- I'm not tangled up in any policies or procedures - my only goal is that you know what information is out there so you can use it to make the choices you need.
- The information inside prepares you for every intervention - even if you don't want any. I will NOT leave you hanging when your provider suggests a vacuum delivery or a cesarean. You're going to know exactly what those are, what they mean, and how to decide.
- I'm all about YOUR voice, so whatever the conversation, you'll know how to ask questions, get information, say yes and say no.
- The courses are hosted online, so you don't have to panic cram these into your last (crazy) month of pregnancy. Snuggle onto your couch, drink your raspberry leaf tea, and watch from the comfort of your own home
- Ideally, you're doing this with someone as a team! You better believe we speak to that partner and show you both ways they can learn, show up, and help.
Medical jargon won't scare you because you'll know what it means

say hello to
YOUR BODY, YOUR BIRTH
In YBYB, you're going to find a healthy balance of evidence, grace, and empathy - not only will you know what your options are, but you'll feel comfortable and safe choosing what you want and making it happen. You're going to feel like you're learning from your best friend...and she conveniently happens to be an RN who has no issues talking about whether or not you should shave or farting after your epidural. You're going to learn that good birth can happen anywhere and for anyone. And you're going to be so confident in what you know about your body, this process, and the massive role that you get to play that the fear and the doubt are going melt away.
And then everyone around you is going to watch, jaws dropped, while you show up with that wild confidence.

what they're saying
"TLM made me feel confident, informed, and also like my husband (who watched all the courses with me) could be the best support person to me possible. We both knew our preferences and we're able to talk through different scenarios beforehand.
My stress levels were vastly reduced and I can happily say I loved my induction and birth experience."

"this is how we do it mentality" and
flips it on its head.

Did you know that it is VERY likely that your insurance will cover the cost of your course? (call and ask!)
Did you know that it is VERY likely that your insurance will cover the cost of your course? (call and ask!)
Yep, it's true!
Most insurance providers will cover the cost of a birth course - because evidence PROVES that moms who invest in birth education have less interventions and better outcomes. And you know what that means? Your insurance will spend less on you - and you know that money talks when it comes to them.
You can usually use FSA or HSA funds to pay too!
Once you join, I'll email you a form with codes + more details for your possible reimbursement.
