Books have been updated. Ready to enroll in our new 2021 self-pace - click here for enrollment form! 
We are now kind of merging our Fast-track and self-pace classes together.
So, we will be using the same books for both classes now. The Birth Partner book we are officially dropping because of the updates of "inclusive language" which is not very Catholic or Christian. 
Our book list is now this - required books to read for self-pace:
1. The Birth Conspiracy (available on amazon) 
2. The Comfort in Birth Method (available on Lulu Press)
3. A Catholic Mother's Companion to Pregnancy (required book review).
4. Choose any breastfeeding book to review. 
5. Choose any challenges of pregnancy book to review. (Challenges of labor/VBAC.) 
6. Choose any cultural competency book. (This can be African American to supporting women after an abortion).
