Our new edition corresponds with our newest Preparing for Birth books (now available) and fourth edition Preparing for Birth PowerPoint. This resource is compatible with most childbirth education training programs, including Lamaze, ICEA and CAPPA, making it easy to get started teaching a childbirth class.

Our Childbirth Curriculum is a comprehensive resource that brings together all of the pieces you need in order to plan and teach a comprehensive and up-to-date childbirth class:

All of Plumtree Baby’s materials seamlessly integrate. The Childbirth Curriculum content, including lesson plans, are based on our Preparing for Birth parent book. The parent book, along with this curriculum, have a corresponding PowerPoint. You can buy all three resources together in our Childbirth Starter Package.

The curriculum includes lesson plans for an 8 hour childbirth course. We include modifications for teaching a shorter or longer course and provide guidance for how to arrange the course.
