Quick Answers

Is the Nurtured Nest childbirth course specific to UNC Rex?

Nurtured Nest is the trusted online childbirth education source for UNC Rex Healthcare, and portions of the course were filmed at their Holly Springs location.

That said, the course is designed to prepare you for labor, birth, and postpartum in any hospital setting — so you'll feel confident no matter where you deliver.

For hospital-specific details — like where to go, what rooms look like, or exact policies — we recommend scheduling a tour directly with UNC Rex Healthcare. Tours give you the most up-to-date, location-specific information and a chance to ask questions about your exact experience.

What's the UNC Rex discount?

As a UNC Rex patient, the two core courses — Childbirth and Baby's First Year — are $149 each (everyone else pays $199). If you add any deeper-topic course to a core course purchase, it's $39. Bought on their own, those courses are $99. Or get everything in the Complete Bundle for $349.

Can I use HSA/FSA funds?

Many families can. Check with your benefits provider to confirm eligibility — requirements vary by plan.

How long do I have access?

12 months from purchase for individual courses, and 24 months for the bundle. Come back when new questions pop up — and they will.

Can my partner watch too?

Yes — and we encourage it. One purchase covers your whole household. Partners, grandparents, even a caregiver or nanny. Everyone watches on their own time or together.

What if I'm planning a C-section?

The Childbirth Course covers C-section preparation and recovery in detail — what to expect before, during, and after a cesarean.

Do I have time for this?

Yes. Lessons run 5–15 minutes each. Move through it like a course before baby arrives, or use it as a searchable reference in the moment. It's built for real life — including 2am.

How quickly can I start?

Immediately. Access starts right after checkout, on any device.

Is the content evidence-based?

Yes. All courses are created by licensed healthcare professionals — RNs, MDs, midwives, IBCLCs, and certified educators — using current evidence-informed guidance. Meet our educators →

What's in the bundle vs. buying individually?

The bundle includes all 6 core courses (Childbirth, Baby's First Year, Infant Safety & CPR, Baby Sleep, Dogs & Baby, Grandparenting) plus 3 bonus feeding courses (Breastfeeding, Formula Feeding, Solid Foods) — at a significant discount vs buying each separately. 24 months of access included.
