Why Take a Home Birth Class
If you’re planning a midwife-attended home birth, education and preparation make all the difference. Our class helps families feel informed, connected, and confident about the process. You’ll gain practical tools, evidence-based knowledge, and reassurance from birth professionals who have supported hundreds of home births in Vancouver and across the Lower Mainland.
What Makes Our Class Different
Our home birth class is unique to Vancouver — taught by local doulas who work closely with midwives and understand BC home birth standards. The class combines practical logistics with emotional preparation so you leave feeling empowered and ready.

FAQs
When should I start a prenatal class?
Sign up early so you get the class you want. Our classes book up fast!
Most people are in their third trimester of pregnancy when they start their prenatal class. We recommend that you sign up for a prenatal class that finishes within 3 – 6 weeks of your due date. You will appreciate having time to integrate the information and comfort measures.
Should I choose a weekend class or weekly series?
Your work and travel schedule will likely be the most important factors but also reflect on your learning style and goals. Some do best with an immersion-style weekend class, and others prefer to progress in smaller doses with a weekly series. The content of both courses is identical. Weekly series are one evening per week for six weeks starting on the date shown; weekend classes run on Saturday and Sunday. Our series is 12 hours of childbirth education.
Where are your childbirth classes located?
We have four convenient locations for our Bloom childbirth classes.

What if I have my baby early or can't attend classes because of a medical reason?
Should you need to cancel for medical reasons anytime prior to the start of class, you can request to switch your class to a one on one online session. If you have given birth before the start of the class, a refund will be given minus a $100 non-refundable deposit. Please give us as much notice as possible so we can fill the spot. For all other cancellation reasons, up to 3 weeks before the class start date, a 50% refund will be issued. No refunds are available 3 weeks before the class starts and for the duration of the class.
