Free Online Birth Class

I had my first child during COVID, when all in-person classes were shut down. I wanted to attempt natural birth, and when I was searching for online birthing class options, I came across KOPA. I chose it because it was more affordable than a lot of other options and also was geared toward people who were going to deliver in a hospital setting, which I was going to do since my town has no other options.
Three years later I have had two wonderful hospital birth experiences and was able to do both labors completely unmedicated. I attribute this mainly to Katie's amazing teaching through the course. Both my husband and I had the information we needed to understand our options and advocate for ourselves in the hospital, and we had practiced the coping techniques that got me through each contraction. Without KOPA there is no way I would have had such positive birth experiences that were not only safe and healthy for me and my babies but were also empowering and joyful.

I felt that the demos were really really effective. My husband also thought they were very effective to see what it looks like to work as a supportive and in-sync birth team.

My son came a little earlier than expected so I didn’t get a chance to take the full course. However, I learned enough from the first class that I was able to stay calm and work through my contractions until I was able to get an epidural. I have no doubt that if I was able to take the complete course and have more time to prepare, I would have been capable of a natural birth. Next time, I’m signing up early!

Thank you for all the information!
They gave me the confidence in my own body, tipps on relaxing myself, my muscles, and I was able to manage labor pain unmedicated, and have a beautiful natural birth. 🙂
Thank you Katie again!

Wonderful class. Short, to the point, helpful, and awesome to do some practice within the class vs just a lecture.
