The Apple Tree Childbirth Education course teaches parents-to-be what to expect during pregnancy, birth, and early parenting, just as secular classes do. But the Apple Tree course offers an added dimension: spiritual insights on these important life passages, rooted in God’s Word, the Bible.
Only recently in the long story of humanity has the linkage of knowledge and reassurance between generations of birthing women been broken. Pregnant women today often find themselves without ties to female relatives who can reliably teach them what to expect from childbearing. Birth has often come to resemble a mechanized, medical emergency.
Birthing From Within mentors (teachers) believe that childbirth is a profound rite of passage, not a medical event (even when medical care is part of the birth). We teach parents the power of birthing-in-awareness, even when their birth experience is not what they had anticipated.
BirthLife Universal is a healing center focusing on the secret healing powers of Birth. We guide and orient future parents and pregnant women, so they will be the protagonists of their own happiness and the happiness of their children, realizing Birth within the Plenitude of Consciousness.

Childbirth has always been considered a natural process. However, in the last century or so, women have found themselves giving birth in the hospital.

They feel as if they have been able to maintain some degree of control over their birthing process. And because they are not drugged up on medications, they feel as if they were able to experience childbirth on a deeper level (sometimes referring to the process as “primal”).
Start with a childbirth preparation course: Women should try to take a childbirth preparation course before planning for their home birth; this can be done individually or in a group setting and will provide them with information about things like pain management techniques, breastfeeding, postpartum care and more.
Still, others may use a birthing ball, hypnobirthing, or a water birth in order to reduce labor pains.
The birthing process is divided into three stages: early labor, active labor and transition.
Between 2004 and 2017, home births increased 77% and the majority of these were planned, indicating more families are choosing natural birth at home.

These fears can lead many women to forgo planning a natural birth, but there are simple steps and techniques through which you can help yourself overcome the fear of giving birth.
