“Tigist Ejeta approached all topics in a nonjudgmental
way and made us feel very confident
with what we were learning. I enjoyed her calming
energy!”
“Tigist was an invaluable part of my learning and
preparation experience prior to birth. I am so
grateful to have her on my team and for all her
knowledge and support. She is not only
professional and punctual, but also very caring and
warm. She makes it clear when she is sharing an
opinion and is helpful in directing me to credible
resources from questions I had. I am so glad that I
was able to take this class and have such a
wonderful instructor such as Tigist. I felt
reassured about my birth experience every time we
spoke.”
Why Do I Teach Childbirth Class?
When you are pregnant, you feel anxious. You have a lot of questions; most importantly, you’ll be curious and concerned if your plan will be respected; if you’ll get a respectful care.
Tigist Tolera Ejeta, MSN. Pregnant with her first baby.
Sadly, It has became the birthing family’s responsibility to know how the system works and what is coming ahead. Modern culture has made a woman to doubt herself and her body and is set to trust the system. Therefore it is important to learn the process of childbirth, your rights during childbirth, how to navigate through this system with effective communication and able to make your own perfect team as well as decision. It is also very important to know the pros and cons of common interventions in maternity care units compared to what the evidence is saying to make an informed choice about the care you receive.
After my own birth experience, I learned that it is very hard to trust the medical system and do everything that comes with it. I learned we are living in a corporate world and childbirth is a business. So I decided to teach childbirth class, that will let you know what is happening in your body, while focusing on the current evidence. This childbirth class that is not biased and will prepare you for all the birthing options available. Whether you are planning to give birth at home, hospital or birth center; whether it is natural or via cesarean; however you decide to give birth, you’ll get the tools. I want every mom to have every tool she needs to get prepared! I want her to feel confident in her ability to speak for herself!
Not knowing what to expect and how the system works; how to navigate through this broken maternity care system(which I thought was perfect!) and how to effectively communicate with the staff was, a true challenge!
My Birth Story!
When I started having real contractions with my first pregnancy, I wanted to stay home as long as I can but I felt insecure, so we went early. When we got to the hospital, I was only 2cm dilated, contractions just getting stronger. Everything was so strange to me. Nobody paid attention to me and I felt like I was invisible. I lost my whole confidence once I got there. They told me they were going to do balloon catheterization as they started prepping me, taking me to another room. When I asked why, they said its because I am more than 41 wks and they need to get the contraction going. I ended up having one intervention after another which ended up causing more interventions.

“Take this course! I started our nervous but I am now very excited and looking forward to the birth of our baby! My husband and I feel very prepared for our baby’s birth day.

“Tigist was an excellent instructor; she was always
available to answer any questions and provided
thorough and well educated answers. The zoom

have increased my confidence.”
When should you start taking childbirth class?
Anytime you want! It is very hard to schedule and give yourself sometime with all the craziness. It is good to start your class when you are in the third trimester. This childbirth preparation class is a six weeks class. Plan to have atleast three to four weeks before your due date to absorb everything and plan for your big day!
Frequently asked questions-Birth With Tigi
Q: My friends told me that taking a childbirth class is a waste of time.
A: There are a lot of poor-quality classes out there that have given childbirth education a bad reputation. The founder of Evidence Based Birth®, Rebecca Dekker, PhD, RN, APRN, knows how to make classes exciting for young adults. The end result is a class that is motivating and SO much fun to participate in. You will learn more than you could ever imagine!
Q: What will I actually learn in this class that could be of use to me?
A: Our students are most excited to learn about the entire toolkit of comfort measures for labor. We cover pain management techniques like massage, water immersion, upright birthing positions, acupressure, music therapy, and deep breathing, just to name a few. When labor starts, you and your partner will be ready!
Q: Can’t I just educate myself online using search engines and videos?
A: A lot of that info you find online? It’s bad or inaccurate! The benefit of the Evidence Based Birth® Childbirth Class is that we curate all of the best, evidence-based information and get you and your partner engaged in the learning process.
Q: Shouldn’t I just let the doctors and nurses tell me what to do?
A: Routine practices in some hospitals are still about 15 to 20 years behind the research, and 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—a skill you can use for the rest of your life!
