Become the woman who knows how to speak up when birth doesn't go according to plan.
You know you have a voice in your birth. But will you know how to use it when you're in labor?
6:42Starts Sunday, November 1 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern. Doors close October 31.
You're not underprepared. You're under-practiced.
It's 4 a.m. on a Tuesday. You're in the hospital, 7 cm dilated, when your provider walks in, rattles off a medical term you've never heard and recommends Pitocin. Everyone is looking at you, waiting. You know you don't want it yet, but nobody has explained your options, and the questions you meant to ask have disappeared from your head. You hear yourself say yes before you've had a chance to think.
Inside Labor Live, you can pause at that recommendation and practice saying, “Can you explain why you're recommending it, what my options are, and how much time I have?” You get to hear those words come out of your mouth before you need them in your own birth.
Try a Labor Live moment
It’s 11:43 p.m. Your water broke 45 minutes ago. Fluid is clear. Baby is moving normally. You aren’t having contractions.
Your provider says: “I’d like you to come in.”
What would you do?
Have the words ready when the plan changes.
You may still feel nervous when your provider pulls up a chair. You've spent time with that moment here, and you've practiced what you want to say.
Your provider recommends something you hadn't planned on.
“What are you seeing that makes you recommend this?” You've rehearsed asking for the explanation before giving an answer.
You're exhausted, and everyone is waiting for you to decide.
“Do we have a few minutes to talk this through?” You and your support person can practice that conversation together, including what to ask if the decision is urgent.
An intervention you hoped to avoid is now on the table.
“If we do this, here's what still matters to me.” You've practiced making a choice and speaking up for the parts of your birth you want to protect.
When your birth takes a different direction, you deserve to understand what's happening and have a say in your care. We'll practice staying in that conversation together.
Your three days
One simulated birth unfolds on your phone from November 1 to 3, with updates through the day and overnight. You'll work through the decisions with evidence, options and HeHe's guidance.
Day one · Sunday, November 1
Make your first decision with room to think.
The first update arrives on your phone. Before you choose, you read the evidence, look at your options and work out what you need to ask. You have somewhere to try, even if you hesitate.
Day two · Monday, November 2
Say the words you've been keeping in your head.
As the updates continue, recommendations get harder to weigh. Practice asking for an explanation, saying what matters to you and requesting time to think while the conversation is still happening.
Day three · Tuesday, November 3
Carry that practice into the hours after birth.
The decisions continue after the baby arrives. You'll rehearse those conversations too, then look back at what felt easier and what you want to go over with your provider before your own birth.
You'll also get:
- 24 interactive birth moments and 6 short debriefs with HeHe, so you can go back over the decisions that made you hesitate
- Your Birth Confidence Score™ and Birth Bag™, with questions to bring to your provider and practical tools to revisit during labor
- A community going through the same simulated birth, where you can see how others approached a decision you're working through
Each month follows a different simulated birth. You can join another round when you want to practice a new set of conversations.
Hi, I'm HeHe.
I'm a birth educator with an M.S. who has supported thousands of births. I've seen women who knew their options struggle to ask for them in the middle of labor. I built Labor Live so you can rehearse those conversations with me before you're the one in the hospital bed.
