Everything You Want to Know Before You Download
Is it really free?
Yes — no cost is ever required. An optional $10 donation helps us keep these resources free for every family, but you can also choose community-funded access. Both options deliver the same guides.
How do I get the guides?
Click the button above and fill out the short form. Both guides arrive by email together, usually within 2 minutes. Check your spam or promotions folder if you don't see them right away.
Do these work for inductions or epidural births?
Yes — the labor positions guide was specifically designed to include options that work for monitored, induced, and epidural births, including situations with continuous fetal monitoring or an IV.
Who created these guides?
Both resources were created by Nurtured Nest's clinician educator team, which includes registered nurses, midwives, IBCLCs, and certified childbirth educators — all parents themselves.
Can my partner use them too?
Absolutely. Both guides are designed to be used with your partner. The birth plan template in particular includes prompts that are helpful to work through together before your due date.
Can I print the guides?
Yes — both guides are formatted to print cleanly. Many families bring a printed copy of the labor positions guide and birth plan with them to the hospital.
How long does the download link last?
Your email will include both guides as attachments or download links. We recommend saving them to your device or printing them as a backup so you always have access.
What's the difference between these free guides and the full Childbirth Course?
These guides are practical references to have on hand — great to print and bring to the hospital. The full Childbirth Course goes much deeper with video lessons on labor stages, pain management, C-section prep, postpartum recovery, and partner support. Think of the guides as a companion to the course, not a replacement.
These guides are just the beginning — the course covers everything
If you want to know not just what to do, but exactly how, when, and why — and what changes if you're induced, monitored, or aiming for an epidural — that's inside the course.
Supporters receive reduced pricing on select courses.
