Evidence Based Birth® Childbirth Class

What is Evidence Based Birth®?
Evidence Based Birth® was created by Rebecca Dekker in 2012 who's mission was to be a resource for non-biased evidence-based research about pregnancy and birthing practices. She began by posting papers and handouts for birthing people and their families. Her widely popular position papers have become reliable resources for parents and professionals who are interested in current research and evidence based practices. She now lectures around the country, provides continuing education to birth professionals, and has created and trained childbirth educators in her Evidence Based Birth® Childbirth Class education curriculum. 
You can learn more about Evidence Based Birth® by visiting the website at https://evidencebasedbirth.com


Our Unique Evidence Based Birth® Classes 
Evidence Based Birth® Childbirth Class will teach you all about evidence based care, labor comfort measures, and advocacy skills. When taking the Evidence Based Birth® Childbirth Class, you and your partner will learn the evidence for your birth options in an online class format, AND meet in-person with your local instructor, Alayna, and other parents throughout northeast Ohio, who are on this journey through pregnancy and birth, just like you! We hope to help you feel prepared, get answers, and leave feeling empowered about birth. 

It's so important to remember that there is no one right way or place to have a baby. We strive to help you discover the options that feel best for your family. This may mean planning a medicated hospital birth, a planned cesarean birth, a waterbirth at home, a doula-supported unmedicated birth or anywhere in between.


What is included in this Childbirth Class?
Registration includes the TWO in-person classes, FOUR weekly Zoom video chats with your instructor, access to weekly online lessons and assignments, taught by Dr. Rebecca Dekker, PhD, on the Evidence Based Birth® Parents Portal, and a PDF and video library LOADED with the most up to date evidence on topics like Eating and Drinking During Labor, Vitamin K, Due Dates, and more. As a bonus, you will also get to celebrate and share your birth story at our reunion gathering.

One ticket is good for both the pregnant parent and their chosen support person. Your doula or secondary support person is welcome to attend our Comfort Measures in-person class, as well.

What Topics Are Covered?
In this class, we focus on evidence based research, advocacy tools, and labor comfort measures. These are the topics we’ll cover that will help you and your birth partner prepare for birth!
  • What is Evidence Based Care?
  • Provider Models of Care

​Meet our local Evidence Based Birth® Instructor 


Alayna Spratley, owner of Cleveland Natural Birth, offers local families a rich array of prenatal wellness classes, childbirth education courses, and early parenting workshops.

Frequently Asked Questions 

Is this class only for people interested in Natural Birth?
Evidence Based Birth® believes that every person has their own unique path. Instead of focusing on medicated vs. unmedicated birth, which is so binary, we focus on giving you tools and helping you learn the evidence, so that you can decide what feels right for your family.

Shouldn’t I just let the doctors and nurses tell me what to do?
That is certainly an option, but routine practices in some hospitals are still about 15 to 20 years behind the research, and often there is a lot of pressure to conform to traditions that might not be in your best interests. We will teach you and your partner how to be your own advocate, and how to find the best support team for your family—a skill you will use for the rest of your life!

Inclusion Policy:
Evidence Based Birth® is committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for pregnant persons of any age, religion, race, sexual identity, gender identity, or relationship status.
