"I knew how to evaluate each of my choices."
H. Burkhead
Hospital, birth center or home. Epidural or unmedicated. The goal is informed, not one "right" way.
BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF
You've read the books. You've got the registry spreadsheet. You question everything…
until someone in a white coat tells you not to.
Your prenatal appointment lasts 12 minutes. Your provider mentions a test, a number, or "we'll talk about induction next time," and you nod.
Then you think of your best question in the parking lot, open fourteen tabs, and still don't know which ones to trust.
You don't need more Googling. You need the right information, in your hand, at the moment it comes up.
TRY IT RIGHT NOW
Pick something that came up at your appointment.
Every topic in the app comes with questions to ask your provider. Here's a free taste: tap a topic and take these into your next visit.
TOPIC
QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR PROVIDER
In the app, each topic pairs questions like these with an evidence-based article and the course lesson that goes deeper, all filed where you can pull them up in the exam room.

YOUR VIRTUAL FILING CABINET
Google gives you fourteen tabs that don't agree.
The app gives you one drawer to open.
Evidence-based articles on the topics that actually come up in pregnancy, birth and postpartum, organized so you can find the right one in seconds. Read it before your appointment, pull it up during it, and walk in with your questions already written.
Google can tell you what Pitocin is. This helps you decide what to say when someone offers it.

NOW PICTURE THIS
Your next prenatal appointment. Your provider brings up something new.
This time you don't just nod. You open the app, pull up the topic, and ask the questions that are already waiting for you.
Your provider actually slows down. You leave with answers instead of a list of things to Google.
Weeks later, in labor, the course lessons you watched on your lunch break come right back to you. Your partner knows the plan too.
That's what having HeHe in your back pocket feels like.

Labor Live
Our 3-day live birth simulation, with a new labor every month. Practice the decisions you've learned about, in real time.
The goal isn't memorizing everything that could happen. It's knowing how to navigate whatever does.
FROM MOMS WHO PREPPED WITH HEHE
They walked in knowing their options. And it showed.
"I knew how to evaluate each of my choices."
I learned how to be in control of labor and make educated decisions in pregnancy and during birth. I didn't have to rely on my medical professionals to make decisions for me. I got to be the decision-maker. I'm happy with how my birth turned out and don't have regrets!
"I knew the evidence and I knew how to say no."
I live in a very rural place so I only had one hospital as an option and it doesn't have a great reputation. I can't say thank you enough for teaching me the skills to advocate for myself. If it wasn't for HeHe, I would have ended in an unnecessary c-section, but I didn't.
"A huge resource for my birth center VBAC."
This has been a huge resource in preparing for my unmedicated birth center VBAC! I had one small tear that required no stitches. Thanks for what you do and keep up the good work!
HI, I'M HEHE
I've sat beside a lot of hospital beds. I know which conversations catch moms off guard.
I'm a doula with over a decade of experience and a Master's in Human Development and Family Studies. I've supported 1:1 clients through birth and postpartum, and thousands more inside The Birth Lounge.
Over and over, I watched smart, prepared women hear about their options for the first time in the middle of labor. So I put everything I teach into an app you can carry into every appointment.
I'm not here to tell you how to birth. Epidural, Pitocin, waiting it out: all valid. I just want every choice to be yours, made with real information instead of pressure.
