Bump to Baby Prenatal Masterclass
A 9-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 nine evenings, you’ll learn from local experts in birth, health, and postpartum care, while building real community with other parents-to-be.
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.
