Coming out of this course, my partner was able to more easily identify his role in the birth. The atmosphere was relaxed and easy, without judgement, and we were able to ask questions and have them answered by a reliable and non-judgemental source.

We would highly recommend this course to any new parents. I thought I knew a fair bit going in, but came away with a ton of new information. We feel more excited and more reassured about our ability to manage our new arrival than we did before the course. It really increased our confidence.

I was nervous to take a prenatal course, thinking I would get overwhelmed with too much information in too short a time. Instead, I came out of this class feeling well-informed actually more relaxed about labour and the birthing process. The subject matter was exactly what I needed, but what was even better was the fun, informative and laid back teaching style of our instructor, Collette. I would recommend this class to anyone!

My partner and I took a one-day condensed class and feel more prepared to recognize the stages of labour and techniques to cope when the time comes. I would suggest the course for anyone who wants to better understand the birthing process!

I would definitely recommend this class for anyone looking for an unbiased and non-judgemental perspective on childbirth and labour. Colette was a fabulous facilitator and made me feel at ease about my upcoming birth experience. Thank you so much!

Amazing class! Very hands on and practical!

I will be recommending this class to each of my friends who become pregnant! Lots of great information and no judgment. Thanks again!

The Ottawa CEA Pre Natal Class takes the fear and uncertainty out of the birthing process and replaces it with confidence and empowerment. I went from "I am not sure I am ready to do this" to "Let's do this!"

This course exceeded our expectations. It covered topics we never would have even thought of looking up on our own.

All the hospitals are dropping their prenatal classes! You just can't learn this stuff solely online! Definitely check out Ottawa CEA.

I'm really happy my partner and I took this course. I feel better prepared for going through labour and delivery, and feel I learned lots of practical tips that I had not come across in my work in the medical field. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone I knew expecting a baby in Ottawa!

Bringing Baby Home is like the Coles notes of parenting. It helps sum up what all the baby books Teach without any biased push on any one thing. It allows you test out each option and make your own informed decision on what will work best for you and your baby. Very impressed and well worth our time and money. Loved it.

"This is a wonderful class to take as a new parent. It is very inclusive of partners and how they can support you throughout the labor process. It was full of information, much of it I would have never thought to even ask about! Patient teacher, willing to answer all questions. Class is tailored to the needs of those present, that was much appreciated. I recommend this to anyone expecting their first child!"

We can't imagine NOT having taken the course! Not only did we learn a lot of useful things but with the money we'll save not buying unnecessary items the course paid for itself!! We highly recommend every new parent take this course!

I would recommend this class to all new parents. The class offers very practical information that will help you prepare for the arrival of your baby, but also provides information that will be used once your baby arrives all the way into being a toddler.

Incredible instruction that far exceeded my expectations. I was hesitant on the value at first but quickly found that it was worth every penny and then some. I highly recommend this class for first-time parents who feel lost or overwhelmed by the plethora of consumer products and parenting advice.

I feel so much more prepared for my home birth after taking this class. I enjoyed learning and sharing/bonding with the other participants who will be new parents just like me.

I would recommend this class to anyone. Even if you think you know it all, the setting allows you to explore so many options for childbirth. Ask your questions, talk to others in the group and see how other people are feeling about it. The class was amazing, but even the open discussions helped to open my eyes to new possibilities. Informative, comforting, empowering.

Our classes were interesting, detailed, dynamic, and fun. Our instructor put everyone at ease while preparing us for our birth. She used a range of teaching techniques that kept everyone interested. We were given a wealth of information that has really made us feel ready and excited. We did not expect to enjoy child birth education classes as much as we did. Thank you!

I HIGHLY recommend this course. Our instructor was so knowledgeable, and so understanding of the issues facing new parents. I feel so much more confident about our upcoming baby than before this weekend. Both my husband and I walked away from this weekend feeling more excited, and better prepared than before. The information was based on base practices/guidelines, but also incorporating real life parenting experiences. Truly, a really great course.

Yes. If you only take one class before the birth of your baby, I would highly recommend that it be the Bringing Baby Home class. My husband and I learned so much during this class that has increased our confidence in our ability to parent. We also feel like we are much more aware of the resources that are available to us as parents, which will also be very useful.

The Bringing Baby Home course was incredibly helpful in preparing my partner and I for our exciting new transition to parenting. The course material and instructor were exceptional. I would definitely recommend this course to all new parents!

Very helpful course. At a time in our lives where are feeling overwhelmed with information and feel unsure about our ability to care for a baby, this course broke things down in main topics, offered manageable information and provided us with lots more resources for things we might want to know more about or with which we might encounter issues.

I actually learned about the Ottawa CEA through a friend. I would definitely recommend the Bringing Baby Home course to all first-time parents. It really helps to demystify a lot of things surrounding baby care. I feel much more prepared to welcome baby home after taking this course!

This course exceeded my expectations. I learned more in 14 hours then I have reading books over the last 5 months. The information (unlike a lot of books) is current, accurate with Canadian health standards and taught with a hands on, practical approach. EVERY new patent should take this class.

The Ottawa CEA went above and beyond our expectations of a pre natal class. We learned the science behind the entire labour process from pre-labour to the birth, we learned about medical interventions, and about positions during labour that both you and your partner could do to relieve sensations from contractions, plus much more. Our teacher was knowledgeable and passionate about her work and she made class a pleasure to attend.

I have been sharing the course information and raving about both the bringing home baby class and the pre-natal classes. Both were informative, well researched, and delivered in a friendly, yet professional means. 2 thumbs up!

Bring Baby Home presented important information that helped my husband and I feel more prepared for our baby's arrival. The class set expectations accordingly around "stuff" baby will need and cleared up any old wives tales that surrounded topics such as: breastfeeding, solids, food allergies and swaddling.

Bringing Baby Home is a great opportunity for new parents to help learn the basics, get answers to common questions, and connect with the local parenting community and resources.

I am a first time Mom to Be and was very nervous about the prospect of actually giving birth. This class not only put my mind and body at ease, but also provided me with tools and resources that will make me more prepared going into labour, delivery, and even after care. Excellent course!!
