why should i invest in childbirth education outside routine prenatal care?

Whether it’s with NĀMU or with another childbirth education program, we believe education in addition to your prenatal visits can help empower you with information and confidence to have a better birth experience.

what makes nāmu different from other childbirth education classes?

NĀMU appreciates that, just like you and your goals are unique, the ‘optimal’ pregnancy for you is also unique. No generic curriculum, group classes, set times/dates here. You get personalized education directly from a hospital midwife, just like the one who might deliver your baby.

can i just take an online childbirth course?

There is no one-size-fits-all! If a pre-recorded online lecture series is aligned with your priorities right now, you can find value there. Our services are aligned with people looking for a more personal connection and a dynamic conversation.

is personalized pregnancy coaching covered by insurance?

Yes! Most insurance plans either fully or partially cover childbirth education. The process is straightforward: we provide you two documents— a letter and a superbill — that you can submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement.

Childbirth classes are also partially eligible for reimbursement with a flexible spending account (FSA), health savings account (HSA) or a health reimbursement arrangement (HRA).
