This course is meant to educate you, inform you, and give you a foundation of knowledge.

This course is not meant to give you medical advice.

You will learn the basics of labor and birth, facts and information, and the latest research. We'll dive into some labor and birth "buzz words" and trends and talk about if they are evidence based/research based, or anecdotal. I try my best to leave my opinions out of things and just give you straight information, though I'll be sure to note what is my personal opinion as a labor nurse and mother.

I also hope that you learn how to advocate for yourself, speak up during your care, and ask the questions that get you the answers you need to make a decision.

You'll also find many different graphics and visuals during this course. The graphics you may download all have the BirthSmarts logo on them Feel free to print and reference these for your own personal use. Any duplication of the graphics, information, or content from this course is strictly prohibited.
