The Birth & the Bees - Preparing for Childbirth and Beyond

More than a birth class. It's preparation for the whole journey.

Pregnancy comes with a million questions, and preparing for birth and postpartum can feel overwhelming. That's where we come in!

The Birth & the Bees is a comprehensive birth and postpartum preparation experience created and taught by The Hive Collective, a team of experienced Calgary doulas who bring years of hands-on birth experience and evidence-informed education to every class.

Across two full days of in-person learning, we'll explore the physiology of labour, comfort and coping strategies, birth options and interventions, cesarean birth, newborn feeding, and the often-overlooked transition into postpartum.

But we don't stop there! Our dedicated Support Person Class (online via zoom) gives partners their own space to learn practical ways to support during labour, birth, breastfeeding, and those early postpartum days. Because birth and postpartum are a team experience, and support people deserve to feel prepared too!

Expect practical tools, honest conversations, plenty of opportunities to ask questions, and education that goes beyond the basics.

Let's make sure you're prepared for more than just the birth day!
