“Giving birth should be your greatest achievement, not your greatest fear.”
Jane Weidman
If you’ve found your way here, then you’re probably about to embark on the life-altering journey of parenthood – congratulations! How are you feeling?
If the answer ranges anywhere from a bit overwhelmed, to anxious, to utterly petrified, then rest assured – you are absolutely NOT alone!
At This Mother Can, we believe that birth can, and should, be one of the most transformative experiences of your life. But we recognise that it’s not all that common to feel that way if you haven’t experienced a positive birth yet yourself. We seek to provide grounded, accessible childbirth education that will leave you feeling not just informed, but empowered to approach birth with calm, confidence and maybe even excitement – yes, really!
We’re not just passionate about positive birth; we’re also BIG on the importance of community in pregnancy and parenthood. This is one of the most exciting phases of your life, but it can also be a challenging and sometimes lonely time. Connecting with other expectant and new parents right here in Philadelphia can make a world of difference. They say it takes a village, and we’re here to help you find yours!
