The Stages of Labor

This is the perfect course for soon-to-be parents seeking to learn about labor. Whether you’re giving birth in a hospital or at home, we offer an evidence-based, balanced overview on labor. By understanding the physiology and anatomy of childbirth, parents will feel prepared and confident when the big day arrives. 

• How is my body designed for labor and birth? 
• How are the first, second, and third stages of labor different?
• What does labor feel like?
• What signs might I see or feel in the weeks and days leading up to labor? 
• How will I know when labor is really starting?
• Why and how should I time my contractions?
• When should I head to the hospital or call my midwife?

• Pregnant parents and partners

We’ve always dreamed of The Sibyls as an inclusive community that is here to help mothers. Unfortunately, in the US Black mothers face tremendous risk when giving birth, largely because of institutional racism. Black women are almost 3 times more likely to die during childbirth from preventable causes. To help combat this injustice, The Sibyls will donate 15% of profits from The Labor and Delivery Bundle to the Birth Justice Fund. 

We also believe that this information is vital and necessary for all pregnant women. If you are pregnant but do not have access to this information and/or are unable to pay, please email hello@thesibyls.com for access to the Labor and Delivery Bundle at no charge.
