Bump to Baby Prenatal Masterclass
A 7-week comprehensive series on pregnancy, childbirth education, and postpartum for expectant families in Whatcom County
Honoring your journey… from Bump to Baby.
Pregnancy and postpartum are life-changing seasons—beautiful, challenging, and full of unknowns. Too often, families are handed a packet of hospital information and left to figure out the rest.
The Bump to Baby Prenatal Masterclass is different. It’s not your average childbirth education class. Over seven evenings, you’ll learn from local experts in birth, health, and postpartum care, while building real community with other parents-to-be. Each week includes 30 mins for guided sharing and social connection.
Topics include: the realities of different birth settings, planning for birth, labor coping techniques, infant care, and postpartum preparation for sleep and feeding.
We’ll get real. Our providers are passionate about giving you the tools and info so many parents wish they had been told ahead of time.
Together, we’ll help you prepare for birth and the life that follows it.

Bump to Baby doesn’t believe there is one right perspective or answer on birth and parenthood. That’s why we bring in multiple experts to guide you through a variety of topics. You’ll get to meet with local providers before baby arrives, setting you up for having a village at your back.
Many childbirth classes focus on what happens on the day baby arrives. Bump to Baby covers the full spectrum—pregnancy health, birth physiology, AND postpartum recovery—while building social support you’ll rely on beyond birth.
