Our Pregnancy Course for a Calm, Confident Birth

Feeling both excited and overwhelmed about pregnancy? You’re not alone. If you’re craving clear, supportive guidance without late‑night Googling, Beginning.com’s new Pregnancy Course was designed with you in mind.

What the Pregnancy Course is—and why it matters

Our Pregnancy Course brings together doctor-approved prenatal education, mind–body tools, and our signature 3D sound journeys to help you reduce fear, feel prepared, and approach birth with confidence. As we like to say: say goodbye to fear, and say yes to clarity, confidence, and natural pain relief. Explore the program at the source: Beginning Academy.

There are science-based ways to reduce pain, fear, and anxiety during pregnancy and labor — without medication. This course was created with doctors, midwives, doulas, and real moms to help you trust your body and feel supported every step of the way.

What you’ll find inside

The course blends practical, evidence-informed teaching with tools you can use right away:

Expert‑led masterclasses: Learn from physicians, midwives, doulas, and experienced teachers in sessions designed to help you thrive through pregnancy and prepare for an empowered birth. See how our platform supports you across nine months: pregnancy support at Beginning.

Guided practice and reflection: Turn knowledge into action with step‑by‑step exercises and printable worksheets that make planning, communication, and self‑care tangible throughout your trimesters.

3D Sound Journeys for stress and pain: Our science‑backed audio innovation blends three‑dimensional nature sounds, soothing music, and vocal techniques to calm the nervous system and relieve pain naturally. Learn more about our approach to recovery and mood support after birth on our post‑pregnancy page.

Week‑by‑week support: Pair the course with Beginning.com’s pregnancy tracking and tips so you always know what’s changing in your body and how to care for yourself. Start here: track your pregnancy, week by week.

A supportive space for expecting mothers: Inside the app, you’ll also find inspirational content and personalized insights in your feed, so your prenatal education continues between lessons. For daily calm, try one of our bite‑size practices in The Moment.

How this pregnancy course compares to other options

There are excellent prenatal education choices on the market—from hospital classes to independent workshops. Here’s how our online pregnancy classes stand out:

Comprehensive, not piecemeal: Many hospital offerings focus on a single topic or a single day. For example, Greenwich Hospital’s “Understanding Pregnancy” is a one‑time online class, priced at $40 (Greenwich Hospital class details). Massachusetts General Hospital offers weekend childbirth classes at $180 per couple, typically for those at 32 weeks and beyond (MGH class information). Our course is designed to support you across the entire journey—mind, body, and emotions—from the first trimester through your fourth trimester transition.

On‑demand and flexible: Learn at your pace, revisit modules anytime, and access calming tools whenever you need them—no travel, no scheduling stress.

Holistic and science‑backed: Our approach integrates expert‑led masterclasses with sound‑based tools that help reduce stress, improve sleep, and boost mood. After pregnancy, our users reported 55% better and deeper sleep, 61% higher mood and motivation, and 54% stronger bonds with their babies (Beginning outcomes).

Cost‑effective over time: Instead of paying for multiple separate classes, you get an integrated experience—education, tools, and ongoing pregnancy support in one platform.

Real‑world ways the course supports you, trimester by trimester

First trimester: Less fear, more foundation. Short masterclasses help you tune out the noise and focus on what matters now—establishing routines for sleep, nutrition, stress relief, and gentle movement. When emotions spike, a 10‑minute Sound Journey can settle your system so you can think clearly and plan next steps.

 

Second trimester: Build skills and confidence. Use guided worksheets to outline your birth preferences, practice communication with your care team, and learn evidence‑informed comfort techniques. Try pairing a class with a calming audio session to lock in what you’ve learned.

Third trimester: Prepare your body and mind for birth. Learn position changes, breathwork, and natural pain‑relief strategies you can use at home and in the hospital. Create a personalized “calm kit” with your favorite Sound Journeys to use during early labor.

Fourth trimester bridge: Feel supported after baby arrives. While the course prepares you for birth, the Beginning app continues to support postpartum recovery, bonding, and mood with sound‑based practices and bite‑size guidance. Explore next‑stage care on our post‑pregnancy support page.
