As a mama who set out to have a natural birth, and wound up with an epidural at about 17 hours into labor, I can say wholeheartedly that the Mama Natural Birth Course would have made the difference. I truly believe that I could have had a natural birth (and hopefully will next time!) with this course. The Mama Natural Birth Course is the bestselling online natural birth course for a reason and that's why I'm taking the time to review it! It is the gold-standard when it comes to preparing to deliver without medical interventions.

This 8-class, 15+ hour course, is full of information, practice sessions, tools, strategies, visualizations and supplementary material to give you your best shot at a natural birth. The course is the only online childbirth class available that is led by a Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) and Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). I have watched and reviewed a lot of fabulous online childbirth classes, but none have been more entertaining, engaging, and informative than the Mama Natural Birth Course.
I love the “morning talk show” style presentation of material, supplementary videos and segments, segments just for dad, and interviews with real-life couples who succeeded at a natural birth. Genevieve and Maura really connect with you through the camera in a way that makes you feel like you’re chatting with a highly educated and informed friend. They will leave you feeling confident and empowered, by no exaggeration.
Each class includes a class video with a variety of entertaining and informative segments on the class’ topic. Additionally, each class has a separate practice video, a natural birth video clip, relevant PDFs for download, and scores of additional reading and resources. There is also a quiz required to unlock the next lesson. I love how every class has a segment just for dads and interviews with real life couples that succeeded with a natural birth.
Another aspect of the Mama Natural Birth Course that is unique, is that upon enrolling you will be sent a special package and letter from Genevieve. It includes a deck of high quality birth affirmation cards, and a beautiful handmade bracelet from their charity partner. I don’t know about you, but getting a fun and meaningful package in the mail is the best! This is such a lovely added bonus to an otherwise completely digital product.
The Mama Natural Birth course offers a variety of exclusive bonuses with your order. I had the chance to dig in and am loving the birth affirmation recordings, and included prenatal workout video. I’ve also found the Pregnancy Food Plan and Natural Tips for Pregnancy PDFs included in class 2 to be especially useful and can’t wait to put them into practice in my next pregnancy. There is also a 90-minute breastfeeding master class included in your enrollment.
The only drawback about this course would be if you aren’t planning a natural birth. It is designed and taught with this goal exclusively in mind. But if you DO want a natural birth, there is truly no course that can prepare you better than the Mama Natural Birth Course. Check it out, Mama! In the words of Mama Natural: “You can do this. And we can help.”
