"I Was Terrified"

So I was terrified of giving birth essentially my whole life...especially during pregnancy. I took your course and I felt so empowered afterwards. When something’s scary it really helps me to understand, the better I understand, the less I’m afraid. And that’s what your course helped me with.

I was able to labor at home for the majority of my labor, and while painful, I felt completely calm and in control. I felt so confident in my body and my baby I was able to stay calm and focused for 25 hours at home.

Then when we got to the hospital I was already 7cm! 2 hours later she was born, and with 4 pushes. I prepared ahead of time so when I was in labor, all I did was focus on my breathing and staying present. My husband was the best coach and advocate because of your course as well - setting up the essential oils upon arrival at the hospital and helping me breathe.

I look back on my birth and see it as powerful, peaceful, and filled with love. I tear up thinking about how beautiful it was. Thank you.

"So Empowered"

I wanted to have a natural birth with my first child, but didn't prepare or have any tools to help me through it. I chose to receive more intervention and received an epidural.

With my second child I wanted to try for that goal again of a natural birth. I worked through this course with my husband, and learned so much! I was so much more prepared and empowered to have limited intervention with my birth.

I felt in control and loved being able to feel my body and work with my body to deliver my baby. I felt so empowered and connected with my whole team, and especially my new baby.

I loved this course, because it taught me so much about what my body was actually going through to birth my baby. It gave me tools to know what to expect and work with my body.

"No Epidural, No Tears"

The Built To Birth course really helped prepare my husband and I for the birth of my second son. I was determined to find a way to delivery without an epidural and have a more positive experience than my first son's birth.

This course provided us all the tools and knowledge needed to help me through every stage of my labor and eventual induction. And my hubby was able to use the tips and counter pressure covered in the course to help me through each and every contraction.

I was overjoyed to welcome my second lil sunshine after 8 hrs of total labor, 1 hr of pushing with no epidural, no tears, no complications, even with my son trying to come out head (and HAND) first!

Thank you for having this resource and your YouTube channel to help empower women to have the best possible birth experience.

"We Now Strongly Recommend Your Course"

"This past year we had about 55 clients who delivered with us and we had a few of them take your course. We now strongly recommend your course as we’ve seen how prepared they are compared to clients who choose other courses. Keep up the amazing work you’re doing!"

"I Am Built To Birth"

You have been incredible in preparing me for labor and delivery! I am 31 weeks pregnant with my second baby.

For my first birth I did your free mini course and watched so many of your videos. I listened to every episode of the podcast. Your affirmation meditations helped me so much to get into the right brain space. I was able to breath through my contractions and have the unmedicated, empowering birth that I dreamed of (I literally gave birth in my dreams one night! It was incredible to feel like my brain was truly ready, even subconsciously!).

However, I had a third degree that I attribute to not being prepared for the pushing stage. I ended up on my back as directed by my doctor and being coached to hold my breath to the point of seeing stars with every push. The recovery was long and painful and I was disappointed in myself just regarding that scenario. But overall, I was so empowered.

This pregnancy I am focused on not tearing. I knew I could turn to you for more guidance and more coaching on how to be better prepared and more ready to advocate for myself in the pushing stage. This course has taught me so much and me and my husband are excited to soon welcome in another little one.

I can't express enough gratitude to you from me or my husband for all that you've done for us. You've helped us understand that I am built to birth and that birth is not a medical procedure, but a natural phenomenon that I get to be such a part of. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

"Couldn't Be More Happy"

I don't know how to begin but honestly I can't thank you enough for this course. Me and my partner took the childbirth+postpartum classes together and they were one of most valuable resources for our experience.

We wanted an unmedicated birth so we did a lot of research during pregnancy. This course was so comprehensive, well presented and organized, professional. We also love your personal touch and could feel your empathy and good intentions for the new parents embarking on this journey.

We felt very well prepared for the birth after taking the course and with an open-mind and space for the unknown we started our journey. We found a great midwife that was very supportive to our birth plan, she mentioned we are some of the best prepared new parents. We also had a doula by our side and she had a great impact on the experience.

We managed to have that natural, unmedicated birth in the end. Couldn't be more happy.

My partner was my best supporter and we feel so empowered and connected after going through all this as a team.

You are making a great impact, the content is so helpful and again, can't thank you enough. No amount of money could make for having this experience in our lives, so we'll try to pay it forward by recommending to as many people.

"Emotional Healing"

My first pregnancy was labeled “high risk” because I have epilepsy, and at the beginning I was feeling like I wasn’t going to be in control of my birth experience.

After taking your course, I really began to believe that my body was not “broken” even with my medical history. I was able to achieve an unmediated hospital birth that not only lead to me feeling confident stepping into my role as a mother, but also brought emotional healing from my past medical trauma.

At 7cm dilated I was on the verge of transition, and a nurse asked if I wanted anything for the pain. I remember thinking- “No way! I want to do this!” I am so proud of my body.

I am currently pregnant with baby #2 and I feel like I am free from fear this time around. I attribute that to your course, breathing techniques and meditations!

"A Healthy Happy Baby"

The course helped me approach my healthcare journey with more authority over my body. I was able to question my OBs suggestion of an induction & without the course I'm not sure I would be comfortable or knowledgable enough to do so!

I refused certain aspects of care (informed decision) and I had a spontaneous vaginal delivery & a healthy happy baby!

The nurses kept saying how impressed they were with how fast my labor progressed for my 1st child and for how calm I was throughout contractions!

"Ready for Any Outcome"

Within the last two and a half years I have had two babies. In 2021, I started watching your content on YouTube and then purchased your course. The information, techniques and resources were so helpful. With your help I was able to fully experience 2 births without any medical interventions! I am truly blown away at how little we know and are taught about pregnancy, labor and delivery. I appreciate your passion to share what you have learned and provide this information to others that are seeking it. God bless you and all that you are doing to help mamas all over the world!

"I Was Excited To Give Birth"

When I got pregnant, I was excited but nervous. I was happy for everything except the huge scary part- birth. With no personal experience, all I had to go off of was the many horror stories I’d heard, and they crowded my vision of what birth looks like. To make things even more intense, I was going to have a home birth, while most of the people I knew were doing hospital births. I wanted my baby to be as healthy and safe as possible, and for me that meant doing everything all natural.

About halfway through pregnancy I decided to get your course, after watching a bunch of your Youtube videos. You reminded me that birth doesn’t have to be scary or anything to worry about. God made us with birth in mind, so it should be a beautiful thing, rather than the common understanding of it being a problem that humanity has yet to solve.

So I got your course in hopes of being encouraged to think better of birth. And like you say, the more you know the less you fear! I even got to the point where I was excited to give birth! I couldn’t wait to experience it!

I did all your stretches and recommendations for helping it go smoothly. So when my due date came along, I was ready. I had my first surge. I tried to focus on relaxing and going with each one, and it worked really well! I was so relaxed the whole time that I was able to sleep between almost every surge. I just kept saying “The LORD is my strength” on the exhale of the destressor breath, and then I’d fall asleep again until the next surge. I was overwhelmed by this sense of knowing that everything was going to be okay, and I wasn’t worried at all.

My daughter was born and it was the smoothest, calmest birth I’d ever heard of! I’m so thankful that I had your course, because it would have been a very different story if I had been stressed in labor. I had no complications, my daughter is beautiful and healthy, and my recovery was great! I had a wonderful experience, and much of that was because of you, so thank you! You’ve made a huge, positive impact on my life!

"Confident That I Am Built To Birth"

Bridget and her Built to Birth course helped me be totally prepared for my birth. With Covid a reality at the time, I was nervous about the chance of going to hospital and the potential of my husband not being allowed at my side in the case either of us tested positive. We opted (the morning of!) for an at home water birth.

With the support of an amazing midwife and all the months of prep work led by Bridget — mentally, physically, and emotionally — I went into the “big day” feeling at peace, ready for whatever was to come, and excited to meet my baby.

I let my self zone into my body as labour progressed and held on to my most valuable tool, my breath. I was able to have the natural, at home birth of my dreams for my first child and feel confident for when it’s time to do it again.

Ultimately, I know prayer and trust in Jesus played the biggest part in how smooth our pregnancy and delivery went, but this course gave me practical tools and knowledge to help me conquer my fear of the unknown and be confident that I am indeed built to birth. Thank you, Bridget!

"Couldn't Be More Happy"

 Built to Birth gave me the knowledge and strength to have my first born all natural. Although I did want to give in and get the epidural during delivery, I had built my support system with my husband (who also watched the videos with me) and my doula according to the Built to Birth recommendations.

I also used the Built To Birth Meditations throughout pregnancy and during delivery.

Everything combined, I was able to push on through to a natural birth and couldn't be more happy. Now that I prove to myself I can do it, I am back to these courses again for baby #2.

I also told a friend about this course and she was able to have a natural birth after watching the videos, even after thinking a natural birth wasn't possible.

These courses are priceless and I would recommend them to every pregnant woman, in any situation.

"Wonderful Home Birth"

I had a wonderful home birth. This is my first baby and I didn't like how the doctors were treating me at my prenatal appointments.

At 28 weeks pregnant, I hired a midwife and decided on a home water birth. I prayed and meditated and visualized how I wanted my birth to go and it went exactly how I wanted it to! Start to finish I labored 12 hours.

I did all the "wives-tale" recommendations to prepare for birth and the exercises to engage my baby's head and they all worked! My baby came right on her due date naturally.

This birth course taught me how to handle my contractions and how to keep my body and mind relaxed as a contraction came through me. I even had one of Bridget's guided mediations on in the background in the early phase of my active labor.

Thank you Bridget for creating a course that prepared and encouraged me in my birth experience!

"I Felt So Much Peace"

I gave birth during COVID in December 2021, it was a scary time since it was my first baby and I was in a foreign country where I hand only a small grasp of the language. In addition my husband was working away and I found myself preparing for my birth alone during lockdown knowing that I would likely have to also give birth alone.

The Built to Birth Course was the best investment because I was walked through the whole process from the first month of pregnancy to birth to postpartum. I felt so much peace and comfort knowing what to expect and how to advocate for myself.

My hospital experience was far from the best, however thanks to the course I was prepared from all sides and I was able to make it through. I am using the course again for my second pregnancy and I can’t express how helpful this easy-to-follow and self-paced course is!

"A Wonderful Memory"

The birth of my first baby was such an incredible experience - it was amazing to be so in tune with my body and listen to what it wanted, especially since I felt as prepared as possible from taking the Built To Birth course.

This was huge for me because unlike experiencing hours or days of milder contractions as I expected to, they came on strong immediately- as soon as I started recognizing and recording them, I was already at the 5/1/1 stage and ready to call my midwife, so I was glad I had already done my homework!

Responding to contractions and certain feelings with position changes, counter pressure, and recognizing what stage I was in helped me feel in control and in tune, and overall empowered that my body was responding to and performing this incredible task.

Preparation was key to being able to skip pain medication, as was my goal, and recognizing the stages I was in - which was a huge mental part for me and crucial for being able to stick with my plan. While it was obviously very intense, my preparation kept me from feeling overwhelmed and instead this is now a wonderful memory and highlight in my life for me. Thank you!

"I Smile When I Look Back At My 3 Very Different Births"

In September 2020 I had an emergency caesarean. I had gone into the birth of my first son with no background education or experience- only the brief (& poorly executed) birth education seminar held at our local hospital. The 29 hour roller-coaster that was my first labour ended abruptly and traumatically in an emergency caesarean.

I was devastated. I felt cheated. I felt like I had failed. My introduction to motherhood far from met my expectations and I felt that if I could not birth my baby as my body was designed to - perhaps it was a reflection of my ability to Mother at all.

3 months later I was sitting on the floor playing with my son when Bridget Teyler's home birth video came up in my feed. I watched in awe of this incredibly strong woman birthing her baby in her own time and way. I wept. I felt that I would never experience any like this and that birth for me moving forward would forever be a reminder that I was a failure.

Fast forward two months and two perfectly pink lines appeared on a home pregnancy test. At first the Drs all told me that an elective caesarean was the only way to safely bring my baby earth-side. For 9 months I had obstetricians harassing me, calling me an irresponsible parent, bullying me with their biased view & vicarious trauma. But this time I had something more powerful than their fear mongering... I had education.

I had listened to every video of Bridget's on her channel and I knew what I wanted from birth. I listened to her meditations so much during pregnancy that I could almost recite them when labouring. But once I arrived at the hospital, the fear and trauma crept into my thoughts and I could not relax or calm down. Each attempt to find a comfortable or safe position was met with "you cannot do that" due to some hospital policy. I had a successful VBAC. I birthed my second son how I had always dreamed I would. I felt healed. I felt powerful. I had fought so hard for that moment and I did it. But because of the interruptions and refusal to let me find my own comfort - I ended up having a walking epidural. So my physiological birth was tainted by my fear and led me to have interventions that I did not want.

Fast forward 6 months... those beautiful 2 lines appeared once more on the pregnancy test and this time I found myself being called to stay as far from the obstetric and maternity system as possible. I purchased the Built to Birth course. I recapped everything that I had previously learned and leaned strongly into trusting my body's innate ability to KNOW how and when to birth my baby. I listened to the meditations and practised visualisation and meditation. I focused my education on my rights as a birthing person, and chose to have a home birth.

I did it.

I birthed my third son in the peace and calm of our loving home. I laboured like a silent warrior, the pain was different to what I had experienced in the past - I was so calm and peaceful. It was like I was sedated, I was able to get into such a trusting and calm state- I truly believe that Bridget's education got me there. I smile when I look back at my 3 very different births. Each more healing than the last, and all because I made the choice to inform, empower, and educate myself. Words cannot describe what she has done for me, and for my family.

"Naturally Without Any Pain Medication"

Before taking Built to Birth, I was terrified of pregnancy. I had an epidural with my first son. I couldn’t imagine labor any other way because I was so scared of the pain. But after pushing for 3 hours, the doctor used the vacuum to get him out. The recovery was so long. I had to go to a pelvic floor therapist for months.

When I got pregnant with my second son, I knew I didn’t want to have the same experience. I learned so much in the Built to Birth Course. I felt like I could take control of my pregnancy and make decisions about my labor and delivery.

I knew exactly what I wanted my labor to look like and amazingly, had my second son naturally without any pain medication. It was still intense, but I felt so empowered afterwards. This labor was a positive experience that I will never forget.

"Incredibly Helpful"

I bought the full Built to Birth Course after I found myself using Bridget’s YouTube videos frequently. This was my second birth, and I was preparing to do it at home.

The course was exactly what I needed as reminder preparation, and it is excellent for any first-time Mama preparing for birth in ANY setting. Bridget provides tons of practical learning about the birth process interspaced with fabulous relaxing, coping, and empowerment techniques. The price is less than many courses you will consider, and the bonus is that you can go back to chapters/videos you liked or had specific information in.

I did this for a concept the morning I went into labor, and it was incredibly helpful. I fully recommend, you will be glad you did! 💜

"Highly Recommend"

The Built To Birth course gave me the education I needed to go into my doctor’s apportionments prepared on what to ask.

You don’t know what you don’t know and this course was so informational but also encouraging and empowering for me to have the best experience possible with birthing my baby.

I highly recommend all moms to be (first or not first baby) to take this course!

"Water Birth, Medication Free"

Thank you for creating such an amazing tool to help myself and my partner prepare for our first birth together. Because of your course, I felt so calm and confident heading into labour and birth. I felt like I had the knowledge I needed to prepare in a way that allowed me to be ready for any outcome, it helped me come to terms with the different possibilities that might arise and accept that anything might happen and if it did, we were prepared to work through it.

I am so happy to share that we laboured at home for as long as possible (maybe too long!!) and arrived at the hospital fully dilated and ready to go.

I was confident and clear in knowing how I wanted to do this with Josh and our midwives. We were lucky to get there in time for a water birth, medication free. I even remember Josh quoting 'you are built to birth' haha I'm not sure I appreciated this in the moment.

Built to Birth also taught me how to approach those moments post-birth. I am really grateful our public hospital here on the Sunshine Coast, Australia has private birth suites and a strong belief around minimal intervention if it's safe but Built to Birth also taught me the best practices to do if possible in those first few hours. We had the most amazing experience in our hospital as they were already suggesting to do these things but understanding the why made it that much more special.

Your course continued to help me when we returned home. Although I had watched it all before the birth, I admit I was more into retaining the birth information than the postpartum info. Those first days home I remember snuggling our little babe and watching your videos to help guide me through breastfeeding and postpartum care.

So glad I purchased the bundle! I have struggled to find a course of this quality in Australia, I'm so glad I found you. It will be my guide for the next one too. You have created something so special mums and dads. Thank you again. You helped us achieve a dream birth. So much love. xx

"I Never Believed I Would Be One Of The Lucky Women"

After a PROM, syntocinon induction, epidural, episiotomy and urinary retention for my first birth experience, I faced a lot of unexpected discomfort in the weeks recovering after birth. I was left feeling confused as to why I hadn't been able to endure through my labour pain (like so many millions of other women) to have an intervention-free birth. I felt disappointed in myself and like an imposter for giving in to an epidural.

After the experience I took initiative to read further into the physiology of synthetic oxytocin and discovered how different the labour pain experience is this way. This helped me process what I had been through, but I still never believed I would get to be one of the "lucky" women who could regard their labour and delivery so positively.

So the second time around, I was determined to be better educated and prepared for labour and delivery, and that's when I came across your Youtube channel! I really loved your calming, relaxed and practical approach to empowering women for birth. I went on to marinate myself in the information and practice opportunities you provided through your youtube videos and online birth course.

I found your positive birth stories podcast so healing and reassuring to know so many other women had faced challenges in their births, yet were able to see it positively. It helped to role model the importance of shifting my mindset for my upcoming birth.

My second birth was ideal to me! My labour started spontaneously, I progressed at home with a TENS machine, my husband knew how to work with me through the contractions. I only went into the hospital for the final and brief pushing phase.

This time I was able to delivery leaning forward on all fours, feeling and responding to the contractions and "breathing" baby out with no intervention or checks from my midwife. My postpartum recovery was also exponentially quicker!

My second daughter is 7 months old now and I am still on a high every time I think about how she came into the world. Thank you Bridget for using your passion, gifting and expertise to help so many women like me! God bless you.

"Empowered & Prepared"

I found the course very helpful in so many ways. During my pregnancy and labor I felt empowered by the knowledge I gained.

My husband play the doula role, and he was my knowledgable helper! I was able to have a minimum-assisted labor (no induction of any kind, no epidural and no episiotomy/tear!!).

It was a long labor, but the course gave me the tools to navigate each stage empowered and prepared.

"I Felt So Empowered"

The Built to Birth Course helped SO much! I felt so empowered going into the birth of my first baby.

I had the tools necessary to feel confident and ready how I would cope with the pain. I ended up laboring at home until I got to the hospital 8 centimeters dilated! I could never have labored at home so long without the information and tips in this course. My favorite was the breathing strategies and practice!

Thanks this course, I had the natural birth that I planned for in under 6 hours! Thank you! I will definitely watch all of your videos again when I have my second!

"Without Fear"

The Built to Birth course helped me achieve my birth goals. I felt empowered and confident going into birth and without fear.

I loved my birth and I really couldn't have had the birth I had without preparing myself before.

I couldn't have asked for a better course and am so glad to have access to it again for any other births I may have.

Knowledge really is power. Thank you Bridget for sharing your knowledge and putting so much thought into this course.

"Empowered & Capable"

I am not one to purchase online courses -- I typically find them limited in the information that is provided. However, your courses were AMAZING and unbelievably detailed!!! I am so happy I purchased them and love the lifetime access because I can check back when needed and use it for future pregnancies.

My husband was a huge part of the process and I credit that to your courses making him feel prepared and ready to take on labor and delivery. He knew what to expect and was incredibly supportive both physically and mentally.

My journey was such a positive one from the start. You made me feel so empowered and capable. The confidence alone was a blessing, but the lessons during each step of the way were invaluable. I also loved that your course teaches any type of mama, regardless of delivery location. It's applicable from home births to birthing centers to hospitals or even in the backseat of a car, but let's hope that doesn't happen!

I would recommend your courses and expertise to anyone.

"I was reminded of how strong and capable I really am"

It's almost been a year since I gave birth to my firstborn, and since I watched your videos. Today, I noticed an email from you. I realized there were many updates and that you made a fitness program. I really need the fitness program and had been searching to find something that would work for me. I started playing your video and you said "Hey Mama," the moment I heard your voice I paused the video and started crying. Until that moment, I had not realized how grateful I was to you.

Instantly, I went back to the moment where I was going through the course. I was so anxious and scared to give birth but you taught me so many things, you gave me the confidence and strength. If I would never have found your course, there's a 90% chance I would have had a c-section only because I wasn't educated.

I had a hospital birth, but I'm thinking in the future if I should have another baby, I would hope to have a home birth. Today, I was reminded of how strong and capable I really am thanks to you Bridget. I want to thank you with all my heart for the courses and I wish I could you a big hug someday. To all moms to be. Bridget's course was 100% worth it to me.

"So Incredibly Empowering"

This class is 100% worth it!! Although I did my reading while I was pregnant, this class gave me so much more. (Even my doula was impressed with my knowledge!)

My daughters birth was a beautiful experience. Being active in labor ( walking a few miles) and changing positions often sped up my early and active labor stages. To my surprise, I arrived at the hospital at 10cm! I felt comfortable saying no thank you to certain interventions and confident to push in different positions. It was the most intense experience of my life but so incredibly empowering.

Although my midwife and doula were awesome, I have to give credit to this course for laying the best foundation for me to birth naturally and with joy. Between contractions my doula told the midwife, look, she’s still smiling! Thank you, thank you for this course!

"Healed Damages From My First Birth"

After a birth experience with my first daughter that left me feeling somewhat helpless and disempowered, I was determined to have a different experience.

I had seen some Built to Birth YouTube videos and decided to take the course. I am so glad I did! I found the most powerful thing about the course, is that it teaches you that you really don't need to be "taught" anything. It helps you deconstruct western fear based birth ideas and get your head out of the way of the work your body was made to do!

Fast forward, the birth of my second daughter. I felt so prepared, so strong, so capable, and I was! My birth was exactly what I envisioned and also healed for me damages from my first birth.

Thank you for spreading strength and courage in women and restoring what our mothers for generations already knew and experienced.

"I Knew I Needed To Do More To Prepare"

When I was pregnant with my first child, I did not use a birth course to prep for birth because I thought I would know what to do. While my body did know what to do, my mind did not, and I fought against my body rather than aiding it in labor and birth.

So, for my second child, I knew I needed to do more to prepare. I knew Bridget from YouTube and decided to peek at her birth course, and I was not disappointed.

I felt more knowledgeable than I ever had been about pregnancy, labor, birth, and my body during pregnancy. I was so prepared that in fact, I guided my husband through an accidental home birth with me for our second child!

I will absolutely be refreshing and using the course again when it comes time to grow our family again. If you’re on the fence and not sure if it’s worth the money— DO IT. You will not regret it!

"If I Can, Then You Can To"

Watching your course has changed everything about my birth! People usually plan their dream weddings, but I was planning my dream birth, and YES I DID IT! I was scheduled for an induction because of IUGR, but after watching your videos I knew I don't necessarily have to get induced because the baby will come, only when he/she is ready.

I followed your videos for inducing labor naturally, and I don't know what exactly helped or if my baby was actually listening to me, but just within a few days of trying all of this, the day had come. I was already 4cm dilated when I reached the hospital.

When a surge came, we did the hip squeeze from your relaxation techniques and it gave me instant relief. My husband was basically my doula! I constantly kept my focus on the ooooo sound and deep breathing in, and long exhales out. Hours passed by, and the surges sped up even more and now they became simply unbearable. That's when we realized based on your Hypnobirthing Course, that I must be in the transition phase, and guess what, I was 9cm dilated!

That reminded me I have to start focusing on the J breathing. My husband was constantly reminding me to breathe. Instead of gritting my teeth, I started the J breathing, and with 5-6 pushes my baby girl was out :) I did get a few stitches but there was absolutely no pain while crowning.

Throughout my labor, I did not experience anything called "pain". Because it was just intense pressure and uneasiness. I successfully delivered my baby girl within 6 hours, with no medical intervention and I'm so freaking proud of it.

The nurses were super amazed at how I handled the surges. I feel stronger and more confident than ever. Thanks a million and I owe this to you and your course. I want to share this with thousands of women out there who doubt themselves and think that they cannot do it. If I can, then you can too, trust your body, because we all are built to birth :)

All in all, you were there with me throughout my pregnancy journey and I'm so so glad that we took your course.

"Everything Happening Was Bringing My Baby To Me"

This was my second pregnancy, but I still learned so much about my own body and what happens during labor and delivery!

Knowing about options in childbirth and what they involve was really helpful. I had the benefit of also having midwives as my health care team, so they were supportive of many similar methods. Feeling familiar with them based on this course made me more comfortable discussing things.

I had relied heavily on breathing during my first delivery, but also did an induction, followed by an epidural later, and narrowly avoided a C-section, so I didn't get the full experience I would have liked.

This time, the baby came so quickly that I didn't have time for most comfort measures, and again relied on breathing to keep me grounded and calm. Other than my husband's reminders to keep breathing and my midwife's comfort techniques, the main thing that got me through was Bridget's reassurance that everything that was happening was bringing my baby to me.

I reached the point where I just wanted to be done, all the way done, and had to persuade myself that I could only go through, not around, this delivery if I wanted to meet my baby. The concept that this point of feeling at the utter end of my strength meant that I was almost done was so helpful too! Those thoughts entered my mind and kept me sane amidst the contractions.

I didn't even have time to finish the course before my baby's birthday, but it was still invaluable to me! I think it was also helpful to have my husband watch some of it with me so that we had a common language about everything.

Thank you, Bridget! I so appreciate your approach and how you make childbirth feel actually doable. Your encouragement and knowledge were gifts to me.

"You Changed My Life"

Bridget… you changed my life. I lacked a female figure who could guide me through becoming a mother and you filled that role for me.

I am forever greatful for my intense and natural birthing experience. You are an angel and I will recommend your course to all my patients and colleagues interested in a natural birthing experience.

Keep up with your amazing work!

"Empowered"

Thanks to you I felt empowered during my pregnancy to make the best choices for me and my baby. Understanding what was going on in my body helped me to honor it and be confident towards birth.

As a result, I knew exactly what to do on the big day. It only took me 15 mins from the moment I arrived to the hospital to the moment when I held my baby in my arms. No intervention, no epidural, everything went smoothly.

I am so happy to have taken the decision to purchase your courses. Most people say to me that I am very lucky. I know I am but I believe that knowing what I wanted and being prepared helped me build a solid pathway.

"Truly The Most Miraculous Day Ever"

I was able to have the most empowering birth of my beautiful son, Thomas, my first baby, all natural!!!

During labor, I used many of the positions and breathing techniques that you recommended in addition to having support from my incredible husband and a nurse who was a doula herself!

I know exactly what I need now for baby #2 when the time comes. Thank you for helping inspire me to learn so much about the MIRACLE of natural birth! It was truly the most miraculous day ever.

"Ready for Any Outcome"

Where do I begin? Shall I start by describing pre pregnancy self? Terrified. In denial. Not sure if I ever wanted kids. Positive I’d need all the medications and pain relievers. Only knew of tragic terrible birth stories. Yupp. That was me. Literally wasn’t even sure I’d have kids because the “birth” part was so scary. All my friends would back up that fear in me!

Somehow, we decided to start a family anyway, and I found myself needing to educate more. Wondering what really happens during birth? How is it all possible? A friend of mine mentioned that she just gave birth unmedicated, and it kinda blew my mind. She mentioned Bridget’s instagram and YouTube channels that helped her learn how. I started watching her videos, and learning more and more. Bridget is such an easy listen and great teacher!! I took the free 30 min course and I was in deep. Bought the full course and never looked back!

It’s like having a friend in your living room with you! She literally felt like a doula in our own home. My hubby watched all the videos with me so we knew everything together. He asked questions, we learned more, and we felt empowered as a team!

The course is so in depth. So much learning in simple ways, with a guidebook to go along with it. The best part, is that she equips you with the info you need to know and then YOU get to decide what to do with it. Want an epidural? Here’s what you need to know. Want to be induced? Here’s what you should know. Want unmedicated? Here’s what you should know. She goes through all the hospital procedures and what happens to your body during them. How to breathe, how to move.

Like I literally cannot thank Bridget enough. This course has allowed me to have an empowered birth. Something I look forward to doing again… (whaaat?!?!) I never thought I was capable and she taught me I was. Most priceless thing you can do as a new mom and dad.

"It Wasn’t Exactly The Birth I Had Pictured But I Still Felt So Empowered"

After my water broke and labor stalled I was faced with an induction via pitocin. I was so against this and really disappointed but in the end so grateful for my birthing team to get me through with no epidural.

My husband was on top of the counter pressure points and reminded me of so many things from your course that I was unable to think of during active labor. The knowledge of the stages of labor really helped me to get through each one mentally and physically.

I felt so confident advocating for myself with everything I learned from the course. The one thing I knew I didn’t want to give up on was birthing on my knees. For some reason this position seemed really important to me and even though I was hooked up to IVs and monitors due to the induction I was still able to make this happen. I’m so proud of that.

In the end it wasn’t exactly the birth I had pictured but I still felt so empowered by the end and now have a perfect little boy!

"Empowered By Knowledge"

I feel really lucky to find Bridget and purchased the Built to Birth course. I succeed in VBAC and didn’t use epidural.

During labor and delivery, I embraced the contraction by used the breathing technique. The nurse said she has never seen anyone who can be such calm during contraction.

All thanks to Bridget and the course. I know what to expect in pregnancy and birth. I’m empowered by knowledge.

"Labour Was So Much Better & Easier"

You have been amazing in my life. I found you when I was pregnant with my 2nd child (June 2019). I was debating getting a birth doula. I searched youtube and found you. I followed your videos and loved your mediation video. You had only one at the time and approx 2000 followers. I was so happy to have found you. You helped me understand the pain, fear, tension loop and helped me have confidence to birth my 2nd child..baby girl. Labour was much better than my first child.

This past year I was pregnant with my 3rd child (he was born Aug 2022). I searched you again and I signed up for your birthing course right away. It was very insightful. I love how you showed visually what is happening during birth using a balloon and other props. I really understood it. I also LOVED your meditation to prepare for birth and even after birth. I love how you emphasized breathing. I still come back to my breath in stressful times now. I used your meditation during my birth of my 3rd baby.

I knew my body and my baby knew what to do. My first birth was 36 hours...2 hour pushing. My second birth was 22 hours...30min pushing and my third birth was 5 hours...10min pushing. I was able to handle each contraction with just my breath.

I also knew the signs of early labour, active labour, transition and pushing. I was able to breath right up to transition and then did the deep sounding breathing to push my baby out. I was so relieved and overjoyed when he came. All I could say was "thank you God!" the labour was so much better, easier because I took her course and practiced my meditations every night until he was born.

Even after birth I would listen to your postpartum meditations, de-stressing meditation. I know you weren't actually present during my birth but hearing your voice anchored me and centered me in a place of confidence and peace. I am so grateful to God for you. You are doing what you are created to do..... empower mothers to do what they were created to do give birth to healthy babies.

I tell every pregnant mother I see in the grocery store or wherever to look you up on youtube. You are amazing. Thank you!! Keep empowering mothers to be the best they can and do to help them create positive birth stories. Anything is possible to those who believe. Thank you again!!!

"Able To Achieve The Natural Birth I Wanted"

I just had my first child 6 weeks ago, and used your education to help me do it naturally. I went 9 days overdue and was induced due to blood pressure and low amniotic fluid. Through your education I was able to try several options by advocating for myself before ultimately we had to do pitocin. However, they worked with me and did it low and slow, and not increasing the dosage when my contractions were frequent and regular.

With your education, especially the breathing techniques, I was able to achieve the natural birth I had wanted! Everyone said my breathing was excellent and that my pushing was effective.

Thanks for having such a passion for this and for passing along your knowledge to help other women love their birth. I would recommend your course to anyone wanting a natural birth!

"I've Never Felt So Awesome"

My husband and I took the courses together. I had my first baby at home in October and my midwives said I did amazing. They asked if I was sure this was my first baby!

I've never felt so awesome. Thank you for everything. Truly. God bless you.

I am currently on pregnancy no. 2 and studying the Built To Birth Course for the 2nd time and will keep studying until birth.

This course has been such a game changer and eye opener to all things dealing with birth and postpartum. I am always talking about the course and telling all of my pregnant friends about it.

You're fantastic and so inspiring. Thank you for changing my life ❤️

"The Best Gift To Myself"

Subscribing to this amazing "Built to Birth" program was the best money I spent during pregnancy, the best gift to myself, and my best form of self-care in the last few months leading up to the birth of my second child.

Even though I had been through pregnancy and an unplanned c-section with my first baby, I still had so much to learn about my body, my baby and ways to empower myself through this amazing experience. Bridget's message hit home for me and I truly believe my body was "built to birth".

I ended up having a planned c-section for my second child as recommended by OBGYN and will always wonder what it would be like to have a natural birth. However, Bridget included some important words in the Built to Birth program that inspired me to take ownership of my own birth experience, empower myself and forever feel content with my second birth experience.

Since my baby was born, I have also benefited greatly from the postpartum course. I took a in-person course when I was pregnant with my first child and now that I look back on it I realize that it can't hold a candle to the depth of the Built To Birth program. I have recommended this program to other mothers-to-be and I am so grateful to Bridget for her mindful, kind and empowering approach to motherhood!

"Relaxed & Excited"

I went into my first birth completely relaxed and excited. I had no fears and was able to really enjoy the entire process thanks to this course!

For a first time birth, my labor from water breaking to birth was only 8 hours!!! I believe that's because I welcomed it and was so excited for the birth.

Now that I'm expecting our second one, I'm re-watching the videos and again feel at peace knowing that I am built to birth!

"Able To Make Informed & Empowered Decisions"

The Built to Birth courses helped me to feel well educated and feel like I had a handle on everything when it came to my birth, especially when things didn't end up going how I had originally hoped for.

I had medical complications that resulted in induction and a hospital birth, but because I had so much foreknowledge I felt prepared and was able to make informed and empowered decisions concerning the care of my baby and myself.

"The Midwife Was Surprised"

This course helped me so much when I gave birth to my son last year. The breathing technique helped me to avoid getting any interventions or pain medication and I was only in the hospital for an hour before I had my son in my arms.

The midwife was even surprised that I was doing so well through the contractions and said I was doing amazing. I went from 7 cm to having him out in 1 hour. That's all the time I needed in the hospital because of all your techniques and tips. Thank you so much.

"I Was Designed To Do This"

Your course was recommended to me by my midwife. I grew up in a family where everything was super ‘medicalized’. Every woman who had a baby growing up was in a hospital, had an epidural, and formula fed their babies. And then when both of my sisters had their children they were pushed into C Sections and then formula fed. My family’s parenting style was also very “Let them cry it out” “don't hold them too much” “don't spoil the baby” as well as putting them on a strict feeding schedule where if the baby was hungry before the set feeding time the baby wouldn't be fed.

Now while this isn’t objectively ‘bad’ and really works for some families, this is not at all what I wanted for my children. I wanted to trust God and the body He designed for me to grow, birth, and feed my baby. That being said, as you can imagine I was kind of fighting with my ‘instincts’ the whole way through. The only way I had known birth is that it's dangerous and needs to be done in a hospital just in case something goes wrong. And that I needed to take pain medication because I'd never known a woman who went through labour without it so how could I possibly?

Well by the grace of God i was pointed towards your course which blessed my husband and I immensely. Going through the lessons and working through them with him really helped to put good reminders in place when my ‘instincts’ were leading me in the direction I didn't want to go. With the support of my husband and all of the knowledge I got from you I was able to have a 40 hour, non-medicated home birth. It was not easy. But i knew I didn't want pain meds and my husband knew that and my midwife as well and she didn't offer because I didn't ask.

Thats not to say a 40 hour labour was easy haha. My water broke right at the beginning so I was plummeted into painful contractions from hour 1. But one thing that stuck in my mind was the PAIN acronym that you gave us. I was not suffering. I could get through it. I also had no idea that we as mothers had so much control over the decisions that are made with our bodies in the birth space. So when my water was broken for 24h my husband and I advocated to not be induced and instead made sure to check my temperature every couple hours to make sure there was no infection.

Birth really is a mental game more than physical in my opinion and having my mind filled with all of this knowledge and positive encouragement that I was designed to do this really helped me get through my birth.

After baby was born I was really led to just listen to her needs and not try and schedule her. A good percentage of my day still is watching her and determining what she needs help with (if any) in this particular moment. Breastfeeding started strong and is still going strong after 4 months and im recommending all of my friends who are currently pregnant this course. (Which is a lot, we have a birth announcement almost every week in our church haha!) Thank you so much for your love and desire to help women in their pregnancy and birth journey. You are doing such a wonderful thing. Please never stop. You are wonderful. May God bless you.

"Everything I Could Have Hoped For"

The Built to Birth course was everything I could have hoped for in my efforts to have an unmedicated first birth, which was in the hospital, and learn how to make informed decisions.

Discovering my WHY behind everything I was choosing for myself and my baby made all the difference in continuing to stick it through when things got tough in both labor and postpartum.

I rave about the BTB course and Instagram to everyone I know who’s pregnant!

"Lost Almost 2 Liters Of Blood After My Vaginal Delivery"

I just wanted to say thank you so much for making the Built to Birth course to help empower parents in the labor and delivery of their babies. I am just one week postpartum now, and often reflect back on how much this course helped me to have the unmedicated hospital birth I dreamed of for my first child. I don’t think I could have done it without so much education under my belt along with support from my husband, midwife, and doula.

My husband and I sat through all of your videos from the birth course, through the breastfeeding, baby care, and matresence courses. I labored with a sunny side up baby for 18 hours after my water broke prematurely at 36 weeks and labor started spontaneously. Through utilizing different positions, sterile water injections, counter pressure, hydrotherapy, amongst many other things, my midwife and doula helped me breathe through each contraction and get sweet baby boy to flip and deliver occiput anterior. It was the hardest yet most empowering thing I have ever experienced, and I’m so thankful to have been present the whole way through, minus when in labor land of course ;).

I also want to say how thankful I am that you included potential delivery complications in the course. I ended up with a severe postpartum hemorrhage and lost almost 2 liters of blood following my vaginal delivery. After many hours of medications to try and get the bleeding to stop, along with removing retained pieces of placenta, I underwent two blood transfusions and my midwife and her team were successful in getting the bleeding under control, saving my life.

Even through all of the hypovolemic shock, I was still able to have my golden hour, delayed cord clamping for well over an hour, and my baby had zero complications for being born at 36 weeks. Though it didn’t make it any less scary, I am so glad that I was knowledgeable on the different complications that can occur as you never know if one will happen to you.

Despite that, I would do it all over again for this sweet baby now sleeping perfectly on my husbands chest. Again, I cannot thank you enough for the empowerment, knowledge, and support you’ve provided me through this course, it helped propel me confidently into the world of motherhood and all the things that come with it.

"Unafraid"

I had the most beautiful successful home birth I could have imagined. Everything went so smoothly and I’m positive it was thanks to Built to Birth that made it possible.

I felt so prepared and unafraid to meet my baby. I definitely credit the prenatal advice (like even things as small as drinking raspberry tea and nettle tea) with my uncomplicated birth and preparing my body. And of course all the advice for building a birth team was crucial to having exactly who I needed with me for my son’s birth.

"Binged Watched It Weeks Before"

I bought Bridget’s course a month before giving birth to my first child. It was procrastination at its best but wow I’m so happy I binged watched it weeks before. She gave me so much confidence and empowerment, as well as my husband.

I had a beautiful birthing experience and I thank Bridget for giving us the tools to move through it with grace. I’m currently pregnant with baby #2 and look forward to getting started again and implementing even more of her tools, much sooner this time! Thank you!!

"Successfully Had A VBAC"

I just wanted to thank you for this course. I successfully had a VBAC and it’s all because of the preparation I received in this course!

Baby was positioned perfectly and my labor was swift. While I did end up asking for an epidural unlike my birth plan...it didn’t work so I still ended up with an unmedicated birth.

I was able to experience this birth the way I wanted! Thank you thank you thank you!

"Inspired & Excited To Birth My Baby"

Bridget and her Built To Birth course empowered me to take full control of my birth and how I wanted it to play out.

When I first fell pregnant I had mentally signed up for an epidural and was happy to just let the doctors and midwives make my decisions for me. Once I started doing my research and listening and reading the info on the Built To Birth course I felt inspired and excited to birth my baby in the most natural way I could.

It was so helpful to be educated on anatomy and to have a clear vision of how the body works to birth your baby. Especially for my partner who would be there physically but wasn’t personally experiencing the birth first hand. It meant that he knew what was happening to me throughout the birth and could support me where needed.

Not only did I go into my birth powered with knowledge and understanding but I had a whole toolbox and skill set that would help me to naturally give birth to my baby boy in a beautiful water bath.

"Fear Free"

I ended up having to have a c-section after preparing for a natural birth for my first baby. I was able to still feel empowered because I knew I did everything in my power to have the birth I wanted. Despite the fact it didn’t happen, I was educated, prepared to adapt, and fear free.

I was able to use my breathing during a External Cephalic Version to avoid an epidural. I am thankful for the tools from this course and hope to have a successful VBAC, if I have more children.

The postpartum course has helped me navigate the first month of having my little one. I am so glad I was prepared for the whole birthing and postpartum period.

"I Birthed My Baby On A Half Of A Practice Push And A Giggle"

I really wanted to discover hypnobirthing for my birth and that is when i came across Bridget on YouTube. I started following her for my first trimester and learned a lot and decided to buy the program. It was the best thing i did!

She gives you all the tools, information you need to really have an amazing experience no matter if you want/ have to go through medical intervention (which i did have to) with all the tools, tips, meditation music, breathing exercises and different labor positions she provided i had a very smooth birth. I birthed my baby on a half of a practice push and a giggle lol.

I do already recommend her program to everyone and can’t wait to use her program again for my next pregnancy journey!

"Being Prepared With Plan B And Plan C Was A Life Savor"

I often get asked after telling my birth story why I look so happy and see it as a positive experience rather than a horrific one-and that’s because of your built to birth class!

I went into labor on my due date with full intentions to deliver my baby boy naturally. If you ask anyone they would tell you I was extremely afraid of having an epidural because I was afraid of becoming paralyzed (funny how our minds go to the extreme)! Little did I know, it would take 47 hours to birth my little fella! After 40 hours of labor and my baby’s heart rate dropping with every contraction and my dwindling strength to continue to cope with the surges, Plan B was initiated for my baby’s safety. I was getting an epidural.

We later found out the Umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck and each contraction tightened it due to My lack of energy to breathe through the surges. BUT!! I could only get the epidural because of your fear clearing worksheet! It really helped me get to the bottom of my fears and prioritize mine and my baby’s health and safety. Also, being prepared with plan b and plan c was a life savor because once I made those plans I knew I would have to seriously consider them as options if the occasion arose. In the first 40 hours all I listened to were your meditations. (The last 7 all I did was sleep!) There was one for every moment and they helped me channel my inner strength.

With this class and having these tools, my long labor and the use of my back-up plans, I can still say I loved my birth! It was a magical experience and I can’t wait for the next! Thank you,

"Best Day Of My Life"

I came across your YouTube channel and started watching your videos on having a natural birth. I loved your confidence & how knowledgeable you are about all things labor/delivery related. Being all the way on the east coast I knew I couldn’t have you as my doula so when your birth course came out I was thrilled!!  I ended up purchasing it immediately 2 months before I was due. 

 I have always been the type who said that I wanted an epidural right away before I start to really feel anything. After watching a few of your videos I soon came to realize that I really am built to birth! If I didn’t have any medical reason to have pain meds then both baby & I were both better off.

Your birth course not only helped me with my confidence, but also helped me during as I listened to the birth meditations during active/transition labor. You really helped make for such a positive birth experience & I can’t thank you enough! 

I tell everyone I know about your birth course & YouTube channel so that others can have an empowering birth experience just like I did. Thank you for all that you do & the wonderful videos you make! Your birth course prepared me for the best day of my life.

"Prepared for the Birth Experience I Didn't Plan For"

I want to let you know how much your course helped me during my labor and delivery. Your course not only prepare me for birth experience I "planned" for, but ultimately for the one I didn't.

At 38 weeks my placenta ruptured, causing my water to break, and resulting in me losing a lot of blood. My husband called 911 and I was taken by ambulance to the nearest hospital, where I went into emergency delivery. It was a very different environment compared to the birthing center I was planning on delivering at. I was at a hospital I had never been to before, with doctors and nurses I had never met. 

With the placenta losing so much blood I was immediately given an epidural, incase the need for c-section arose. Without the help of your course I know I would have been an absolute mess of emotions and riddled with anxiety. But remembering to focus on breathing, and trust my body and my baby, I was able to give birth to my son after only 9 short hours of labor and 20 minutes of pushing.

A labor and delivery that most hear and think it sounds scary, I see as so empowering, and beautiful. I know I couldn't have done it without the tools you provided in your birth course. Especially the meditation soundtracks, that I was reciting in my head as I was getting ready to push. I am so thankful for you, and the positive birthing tools you are providing for women all over the world.

"Honestly A Dream Birth"

We loved your YouTube videos and knew we needed to take your course to help us prepare and get over our fears after a very traumatic birth with our first.

I had to have 2 blood transfusions due to tearing with my first baby and she was 7.11lbs.... this lil guy was 10.4 lbs and I needed no stitches because we used your breathing techniques and my husband knew what to say to keep me calm.

The nurse at the hospital asked us what we did to prepare because she couldn't believe how well we worked as a team and had so much calmness. We told her about the Built To Birth course. I also listened to your meditations the entire time. 

Honestly a dream birth.

"Not A Ton Of Magical Thinking"

I'm very shy and I work all the time- so an in person labor/delivery class wasn't something that I particularly wanted to do, or had the time to do.

I was getting discouraged- I work full time, and I planned to keep working full time and it seemed like everything baby/ pregnancy related I could find was geared towards stay at home moms.

I really enjoyed this class- it gives a lot of facts and not a ton of magical thinking that the internet seems laden with on this topic. I felt very prepared to go into labor after taking the classes offered in this program, and it being given on demand online worked fantastic for my schedule.

"I Love My Birth Story"

My husband and I went through the built to birth course, and I want to say thank you. I had a home birth and was very prepared for labor and delivery.

I used MANY of the techniques you gave through your course. I had a 20 + hour labor but I can honestly say, although it was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, I love my birth story. I didn’t tear and I shocked the midwives with the breath work and different positions I did in labor and pushing. Once Annelise was born, the midwives were amazed that I knew how to get her to correctly latch immediately.again thanks to your breastfeeding class.

It was a long and hard labor often with double peaked contractions and no reprieve, but my breath work kept me going. Not once did I want to go to the hospital or want pain relief options.

Now I’m on this side, 3 1/2 weeks postpartum, with a beautiful baby girl and I’m completely recovered and back to normal life. But more than this, my husband and my mom were also 100% prepared and he and my mom were the absolute best support persons anyone could ask for. I had them both watch your videos. Thank you x1000.

"LOVED The Built To Birth Course"

I LOVED the Built to Birth Course!! When I got pregnant I knew I wanted to have a beautiful birth experience and feel like both my husband and I were empowered with knowledge. This course did all of that and more!

I was able to deliver my son this summer with a midwife in the hospital (I was very anxious about everything being safe) and went unmedicated for the 20ish hours I was in active labor. Next time around I would love a birth center or home birth depending on the providers in my area.

I certainly gained a confidence I didn’t have before about birth after doing it myself, but this course helped me and my husband to feel more prepared for all things birth and postpartum related! I would highly recommend it.

I credit the breastfeeding course with my early success in breastfeeding and am still going strong at 5 months pp!

Thank you so much for all the work you put into this course Bridget, it changed my birth experience and how I view myself as a mother and I know it is doing the same for others

"Empowering And Natural Hospital Birth"

I just had a baby girl and had the most empowering and natural hospital birth experience and your BTB course was a HUGE part of that.

We had a doula in training that followed your model closely and her and my husband helped bring my dream to life. At the end of the day, I told myself I wanted “as close to a home birth as possible- in the hospital setting” meaning no pain meds, no induction, and no medical interventions unless safety was a concern.

I was able to have my baby girl naturally after about 15 hours without medical intervention aside from IV fluids, and pushed for about 10 minutes and she came flying out LOL.

After watching so many of your videos, doing the meditations, and “studying” the best I could while surrounding myself with positive birth stories, my mental mantra was “natural, safe, and calm”. Turns out all of those things came to fruition.

Not only did I feel so empowered about birthing her naturally, but I really feel like this set the tone for my postpartum. She continues to be a very calm baby, and I don’t feel like I have any birth trauma to recover from so I am able to focus on being present with her as well as my husband.

Thank you for doing what you do and being such a valuable asset for mothers everywhere.

"So Grateful I Found The Built To Birth Course"

I'm so grateful I found the built to birth course! I started doing the affirmations and meditations when i was around 6 months pregnant with my second baby.

My first birth ended up needing intervention and I had an episiotomy and forceps delivery with a third degree tear. This time round I was determined things would go differently and used the built to birth content to prepare for a home birth.

I'm so pleased and grateful to say that I achieved my home birth without any intervention and was able to breathe my baby out (which was a kilo heavier than my first baby) without needing any treatment or stitches afterwards. Thank you Bridget for providing these important tools that have truly been life changing. xo

"I Didn't Even Tear"

This was my first pregnancy and I took your course!! I'm 5'1" and kept being told how my baby was going to be "too big" and to consider induction and that I was too small etc etc.

Had my beautiful 9lb 13oz baby girl, vaginally, on New Year's Day at 42w4d and I didn't even tear!

Kept being told my baby was "too big" and my pelvis said "I'll show them" & God created women's bodies so wonderfully for the job!

"More Powerful and Beautiful Than I Could've Imagined"

I should start by saying I am an LCCE and Paramedic and I've been involved in birthwork for about 4 years now. I started first as a medical assistant at a freestanding birth center, then as an on-call midwife's assistant, and now as an LCCE.

When I became pregnant, I knew I had to find a CBE course I could participate in as an expecting mama and not as a birthworker. I chose the BTB course because I've always loved the Built to Birth Youtube content (I frequently point my clients to the YT page).

My husband and I loved the birth course and hypnobirthing course. (I also enjoyed the prenatal fitness program during my pregnancy). During my labor I listened to the Hypnobirthing and affirmation tracks. My birth started with 2 days of prodromal labor, and staying in a good headspace was vital. I feel like the affirmations really helped me with that.

I ended up having the empowering homebirth I'd dreamed of. It was more powerful and beautiful than I could've imagined and I feel like I can do anything now. It was not easy, I had a stall in my labor during transition and really had to dig deep and draw on strength I didn't know I had. I found myself doing the cleansing breaths through each contraction. They were very grounding. Additionally, my husband and doula employed a lot of the comfort measures and movements we learned in the course.

The moment they placed my beautiful 8lb3oz baby boy (whose gender had been a surprise) on my chest was a moment I will never forget. (A side note- small women can birth big-ish babies just fine!) I would do it all again for the sheer joy and euphoria that existed in that moment. I find myself wanting to share my incredibly positive homebirth story with anyone who will listen. Birth is magical! I am now 2 weeks postpartum and happy that I purchased the postnatal fitness course and breastfeeding course as well!

"Everyone Around Me Doubted Me"

Even before getting pregnant, I knew I wanted to have a natural childbirth, but I didn’t have much knowledge of it. As my husband & I were talking to our dearest friends, they recommended taking your Built to Birth classes. My husband & I watched all of your classes. We learned A LOT & felt ready. 


On August 12th, I turned 39 weeks. I lost my mucus plug at 10:30 a.m. & started to feel light cramping slightly after. I re-watch some of your classes as I knew my body was preparing for labor & was bouncing on my ball to help my baby move to an optimal position. I trusted my body. All day, as the surges came, they were getting more intense. I was welcoming them, knowing they were getting me closer to meet my precious baby girl!

At 10:00 p.m., my water broke as I was bouncing on my ball. A magical moment. Went to the hospital, had to wait an hour in triage & when I got to my room at midnight, I was 3 cm dilated. I decided it was time to get into the bath at 1:00 a.m. & spent a few hours in it. I was completely in labor land listening to your meditations.

My husband was my biggest support, he was my doula (the nurses even said so!). The surges we’re getting so powerful & I was feeling a lot of pressure. Therefore, I decided to get out of the tub & asked the nurse to check me: I was 8 cm dilated! I remembered you saying the 8 to 10 cm was the quickest part of labor & it gave me so much energy. I was almost there. I laid on all 4 with the peanut ball on the bed, breathing through every surge. At around 3:00 a.m., I felt so much pressure & started pushing in that same position. After 30 minutes, I switched position to a side lying.

As I was letting my body control my pushing, at some point, I helped it pushing myself. I can’t even describe the feeling, it was amazing: a few minutes before she came out, as I was pushing, I felt my body giving me strength & pushed with me. I was completely trusting my body & after 3 of those pushes, here she was!

Our little Eliana Belle was born at 4:01 a.m. on August 13th, 2022 weighing 6lbs2oz. My first pregnancy. First baby. A short labor. Trusting my body. My husband supporting me. I did it! My unmedicated birth.

I am a very petite woman: 5ft & 95lbs (125lbs at 39 weeks). Everyone around me doubted me (except my husband who is my biggest support) & always insinuated I wouldn’t be able to give birth naturally to my little girl & would have a c-section as I am so small. I proved everyone wrong as I knew I could do it since my body is built to birth! You might receive a lot of testimony, but I truly wanted to THANK YOU Bridget!

"The Best Recovery And Best Breastfeeding Experience"

I had the most empowering 4th childbirth experience thanks to the complete Built to Birth videos!

My first childbirth experience was the most traumatic, by the lack of care for the nurse we had; by the judgment of doctors who thought we were fools to advocate for ourselves; the backlash when we declined certain interventions and vaccines; the stress with nurses giving different information on birth progress...it all led to and emergency c-section and the most brutal recovery. I struggled mentally postpartum and it took my body so long to heal, making it almost impossible to breastfeed.

After that experience my husband and I dedicated our time to educate ourselves, and find midwives who supported our vision for bringing our babies into the world. The next two pregnancies I had successful VBACS despite some resistance, they were both great experiences besides the fact I didn't do them absolutely intervention free.

This last time around my husband really wanted a doula to help him be the best support he could be for me. When our doula didn't work out we found the Built to Birth Course at 35 weeks and when I tell you it was a blessing! I could see my husbands confidence as "daddy doula" grow with each lesson we watched. We were the most prepared physically, mentally and spiritually for this 4th birth. I was able to remain calm due to the breathing techniques and don't make it to the hospital until I was 9cm. Although it took a few more hours until I birth my baby boy.

With the use of different techniques we learned such as counter pressure, getting into positions, using water and peanut balls, meditation tracks (on repeat!!), massages and the combinations of dim lighting and use of diffuser I was able to birth my baby absolutely intervention free! In result I am seeing the best recovery and best breastfeeding experience for both baby and I. It was the hardest yet most rewarding experience.

The nurses and midwives were amazed at the support from my husband and absolutely loved the mediations I played. One midwife said "Wow, we learn so much information and we forgot how to go back to just reminding our patients of the basics like they are built to birth." The affirmations encouraged them!

So absolutely thank you Bridget for all you offer to all us mamas, the profound knowledge and dedication you have to make sure we make the best decisions for our birth experience.

"I Kind Of Feel Like Superwoman"

Bridget!!! Wow. I am so beyond grateful for your birth course & Hypnobirthing course! First off I’d like to say I didn’t know for sure if my birth would turn out the way I expected or wanted, and I came to terms with that. However, I got the birth that I’ve always wanted & I owe a large part of that to you.

My first birth was in a hospital and I had back labor, no midwife or doula, no support from the staff, hardly any movement, an immense amount of fear and pressure, and an epidural because I wasn’t coping. I’m grateful we were both healthy but I wanted MORE for myself and I knew that I could do it because deep down not only was it my desire but we were built to birth.

My second was born completely natural, in water, with a midwife & my husband, and I did it all with Bridget’s help! I felt informed, empowered, and excited to conquer what so many women before us all of history have! Was it hard? Of course! Birth isn’t easy! But it was exhilarating at the same time.

I listened to Bridget’s hypno tracks for majority of my labor and that really helped me cope. I used the destressor breath for also majority of my labor and then I got into my primal breathing through transition and the pushing phase. I listened to my body and trusted that it knew what to do! It did! At 41 weeks and 5 days (Oct 15 24) my son came in just 4.5 hours start to finish. I did get a membrane sweep because I was approaching 42 weeks FAST, but my body was ready!

Having a midwife & a birth center made all the difference + the education from Bridget’s courses. I kind of feel like superwoman and I will always go back to these courses for future births! Thank you so much Bridget, I am confident God has gifted you to do this and with your help I was able to do what I was so scared to do the first time. ❤️
