About this Event
The Birth Standard: Strength. Knowledge. Motherhood.
Ready to feel empowered? This birth prep course is all about giving you the strength and knowledge you need for motherhood. Whether it’s your first time or you want a refresher, we’ve got you covered with real talk and practical tips. Let’s get you ready to welcome your little one with confidence and calm.
The Birth Standard Prenatal Class is a TWO DAY workshop designed to support and empower you through the transition into parenthood—both mentally and physically. Grounded in evidence-based education, this comprehensive course guides you from pregnancy and labour through the early days at home with your baby.
Led by Blair Graham BScN, RN, you’ll gain practical, up-to-date knowledge to help you feel informed and confident every step of the way. In addition, prenatal and postpartum fitness specialist Lucy Ulmer will teach you how to prepare your body for labour through intentional, specialized movement, and how to safely begin your recovery and healing journey after birth. Blair and Lucy believe that combining prenatal education with guided movement is essential for feeling both physically strong and mentally prepared for one of life’s most significant transitions.

DAY 1: The Bread and Butter + The Unexpected
Info: For this full-day session we will cover what to expect in the third trimester, how to prepare for labour, and how to recognize when it’s truly time. We’ll equip you with a toolkit of comfort measures and coping techniques, along with hands on practice to feel comfortable with your new skills. We’ll then move into the second stage of labour and explore what happens when things don’t go exactly as planned. An OBGYN Guest Speaker will guide us through assisted vaginal births and Cesarean sections, and we’ll close the day with a purposeful movement class designed to support your body through pregnancy and labour.

DAY 2: I'm Home, Now What?
Info: On this day, we’ll prepare you for life after birth—what happens immediately postpartum and what to expect once you’re home with your newborn. We’ll cover what’s normal, what’s not, and how to support both your recovery and your baby’s needs. You’ll explore feeding options, postpartum body changes, and newborn rhythms, so you feel confident stepping into this next chapter. We’re delighted to welcome a Pediatrician Guest Speaker, who will share guidance on newborn care and open the floor for a Q&A so you can get direct answers to your most pressing questions.
