⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “This class was great! I took it in my 38th week – I had found her articles online and decided to just bite the bullet and take the online class. Very grateful I did. Was very detailed and informational. Would recommend 100%!” – Jess ~ Online Prenatal Class Participant

I’m Hilary, The Pregnancy Nurse.
As a labor & delivery nurse for almost 20 years, I’ve helped thousands of moms in person, and millions of moms over the internet as The Pregnancy Nurse®. It’s been my job for two decades to help pregnant mamas overcome their nerves and safely bring their babies into the world.
Plus, I’ve had three of my own, so I know what it’s like to be on the other side of those pregnancy fears.
I can’t wait to help you feel more informed, anxiety-free, even excited for your upcoming birth. A little preparation goes a long way!
Hilary was enjoyable to learn from and we felt much more prepared going into our labor/delivery and postpartum experience. ~ Amy, Former Student
