5 Things Your Hospital Birth Class Won't Tell You

Discover the 5 truths about labor, birth, and breastfeeding that most hospital classes skip, so you can walk into the delivery room informed, confident, and in control

Inside This Free Guide, You'll Discover:

The outdated labor guideline that leads to unnecessary C-sections, and how knowing it gives you the tools to ask better questions and advocate for yourself at every decision point in your labor.

The hidden measurement most first-time moms never hear about until they're already in labor, and why understanding it can help you avoid interventions like Pitocin augmentation when your body is actually making beautiful progress.

The #1 reason breastfeeding fails that has nothing to do with your body...and how one hour of education before your due date can prevent weeks of painful struggle at 3am.

Why the moment you feel like you "can't do this anymore" is actually the best news, and the five words your partner needs to say that could change everything about how you finish labor.

What Other's Are Saying After Getting The Guide...

Rachel's expertise and guidance completely changed how I approached pregnancy, birth, and early motherhood. Although I trusted my OB, our healthcare system can be complex and impersonal, and we're often pressured to make choices that don't align with what our bodies know and what is best for our families. These resources empowered me to trust my body and advocate for myself and my baby. I felt informed and grounded, like my experiences and choices mattered, and I carried this with me well after my daughter's birth, especially as I balanced family and work. Every parent deserves access to this kind of knowledge and support.

This is the best free guide I’ve gotten! It helped make my pregnancy experience smooth, & I felt ready. Having that extra layer of educational support can truly transform your mind & body into a calm transition like she says for you & the baby. I am grateful for Rachel, especially as she has experienced this on her own. Very informative.

After reading books and attending my hospital's birth class, I felt more overwhelmed and anxious than ever about my impending birth. This small, but mighty guide left me feeling more informed and empowered. Its concise, yet practice advice was nurturing and peppered with concrete action points to make everything from pre-labor planning to breastfeeding feel less scary and more natural. It put me back in the driver's seat of my birthing experience.

I'm so glad I had this before giving birth to my daughter. I was induced, labored 26 hours, and my daughter was positioned face first — a lot could have blindsided me. But because of this guide, I knew what was happening to my body and what questions to ask. It's clear, empowering, and gives you the knowledge and confidence every expectant mom deserves going into birth. Honestly, I believe this is something every mom-to-be should have.

A PERSONAL NOTE

Hey! I'm Rachel

Hey, I'm Rachel Burroughs, a certified doula and childbirth educator with 14 years of experience and 90+ births attended.

My mission is simple: to help first-time expecting parents walk into that delivery room educated, confident, and in control.

But before I was the doula in the room, I was the unprepared mom on the table. I did everything "right."

I took the hospital class, read the pregnancy books, I trusted my care team...and I still ended up with a C-section and a lot of unanswered questions.

That experience changed everything, because I kept seeing it in birth room after birth room: smart, motivated parents who came prepared on paper and still left blindsided.

That's the gap I built The Whole Birth Method to fill.

Everything in this guide is what I wish someone had handed me before my first birth.

See you inside,

Rachel
