“As someone who has hoped and prayed for a baby for a long time, I felt like I knew everything there was to know about prepping for childbirth. My husband, on the other hand, was really looking forward to taking One Love’s labor prep class to get an overview of everything to expect. Cue us at the end of the course: and we were both shocked at how much we had learned! I really appreciated how this course took the time to address everything from an overview of birth and what to expect, all the way down to smaller details like breathing techniques and comfort measures. We also really loved that they included templates for things like a birth plan, because it can feel a little overwhelming knowing where to begin when planning out such an important day. We would highly recommend this course to any couple looking to learn more about what to expect during labor and delivery- it has put our minds so much more at ease and actually has us feeling excited and prepared for the day I go into labor."
