THE BIRTH LOUNGEā„¢ Ā· CHILDBIRTH EDUCATION WITH HEHE

The birth education that shows you how to have a positive hospital birth, without fear, pressure or trauma.

You've read the books. You've toured the hospital. And you still have a quiet feeling you're about to walk in blind. The Birth Lounge gives you a step-by-step plan to navigate labor, speak up for yourself, and leave your birth feeling confident instead of steamrolled.

Join thousands of moms who prepped for birth with HeHe.

LET ME GUESS

You researched the car seat for three weeks. So why does birth feel like the one thing you can't plan?

You signed up for the hospital class. It was a Tuesday night, a slideshow, and a nurse who mostly covered when to come in and where to park.

You left knowing what an epidural is. You didn't leave knowing what to say when someone offers Pitocin at 4 a.m., how to ask for more time, or what your options really are when "hospital policy" comes up.

And in the back of your mind is the story you heard from your sister, your coworker, your best friend. The one that ends with, "It all happened so fast. I didn't really get a say."

You don't want that to be your story. It doesn't have to be.

WHAT MAKES THE BIRTH LOUNGE DIFFERENT

Most hospital classes teach you to go with the flow. I teach you how to steer it.

01

Create a birth plan your providers respect

Not a wish list. A clear, realistic plan your team can actually work with.

02

Navigate hospital policy and advocate for yourself

Know which "rules" are flexible, and what to say when one comes up.

03

Push with your body, not against it

Pushing techniques that work with your body and help lower your chance of tearing.

04

Lower your risk of an unnecessary c-section

Understand the evidence behind the interventions that often lead there.

05

Confidently say yes or no to any intervention

Epidural, Pitocin, waiting it out: all valid. The choice just has to be yours.

06

Get your partner ready to back you up

So they're not standing in the corner holding the bag. They know the plan.

NOW PICTURE YOUR BIRTH

Your water breaks at 3 a.m. And you know exactly what to do.

You labor at home as long as feels right. At the hospital, a nurse mentions a "standard" policy, and instead of nodding, you calmly ask what your options are.

Your partner knows your priorities and speaks up when you're deep in a contraction.

Maybe you get the epidural. Maybe you don't. Either way, every decision was yours.

That's a positive birth. Not a perfect one. One you got to own.

HOW I CAN SUPPORT YOUR BIRTH

Wherever you are in your prep, there's a place to start.

HI, I'M HEHE!

I've watched too many smart women get talked out of their own births. So I built the class I wish they'd had.

I help first-time moms, moms with past birth trauma, and hospital birthers feel fully in control of their labor, so you can navigate your birth without pressure, unnecessary interventions or fear.

I'm a doula with over a decade of experience, guiding families from birth through postpartum. Everything I teach is evidence-based and judgment-free, in a space where you make the decisions that feel best for you.

FROM INSIDE THE BIRTH LOUNGE

These moms went from fearful to fearless. You can too.

"I knew my rights and felt confident enough to speak up because of HeHe!"

I had a few moments where I was being dismissed during labor (which while unfortunate and inexcusable) but I knew my rights and felt confident enough to speak up because of HeHe! If anyone is contemplating joining The Birth Lounge, do it. The knowledge is unmatched!

"Things they don't teach you in the standard birth class at the hospital."

Joining The Birth Lounge and following HeHe on social media opened my eyes to all of my options as a first-time parent. She also gave me so much confidence to be informed and have a plan, but to also trust my gut in the moment and not be scared to adapt if the plan isn't working.

"Honestly I've learned more from The Birth Lounge so far than I have from her!"

I think my midwife is great, but I want to learn everything I possibly can so that I can make the best decisions for the baby and I.

"I realized there was so much I never knew!"

As a healthcare professional who even had a rotation in Labor & Delivery, I thought I knew a lot about what to expect and what kind of options are out there. Then I joined The Birth Lounge and my knowledge expanded exponentially. It gives you an opportunity to learn SO much from experts, ask questions and connect with other moms!

"Best decision I ever made!"

"A clear plan that actually came to fruition!"

Had a doula for #2: 12 hour total labor, unmedicated, and arrived at the hospital at 9cm as planned. Such a different birth experience. My doula had a partner doula to watch my oldest son should I go into labor, as we don't have family or a reliable babysitter. That alleviated a lot of stress and anxiety for me during labor. Highly recommend HeHe if you're looking!

Questions you're probably asking

I'm planning a hospital birth. Is this for me?

It was made for you. The Birth Lounge is built around navigating hospital policies and the decisions that come up in a hospital birth. Birth center and home birthers are welcome too.

My last birth was traumatic. Will this help?

Moms with past birth trauma are one of the groups I work with most. You'll learn what your options are this time and how to speak up for them, in a judgment-free space.

Is this anti-epidural or anti-doctor?

Not at all. Epidural, Pitocin, waiting it out: all valid choices. I'm on your side against pressure and outdated policy, never against your providers.

What's the difference between the app and the membership?

The app is free to download and a great place to start. The membership is the full experience: 24+ hours of childbirth education, printable guides, monthly Q+A calls and the private community.

Can my partner do this with me?

Please do. Partners learn the plan and how to back you up, and the Lifetime membership includes Dad Daze, a full course just for them.

Does this replace my provider?

No. This is education, not medical advice. It helps you walk into every conversation prepared, so you and your care team can decide together.
