Disclaimer: No Guaranteed Birth Results or Outcomes

Effective Date: January 2025

Every effort has been made to accurately represent this course and the potential benefits of the information it contains. However, this course and the materials provided are intended for general educational purposes only. They are not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

This course is not associated, affiliated, endorsed, or sponsored by any medical organization or governing body, nor has it been reviewed, tested, or certified by such entities.

While the tools and techniques shared in this program are designed to support you in preparing for birth—physically, mentally, and emotionally—no specific outcome can be guaranteed. Every pregnancy and birth is unique, and factors outside of your control may influence the course of your labour and delivery. There is no guarantee that you will achieve a natural, unmedicated, or complication-free birth by following the practices in this program.

Your results will depend on many factors, including but not limited to your overall health, medical history, the care you receive, your birth environment, your baby’s condition, and circumstances during labour. Because these factors vary widely for each individual, we cannot and do not make any promises or guarantees regarding specific outcomes.

This course may discuss potential benefits of certain comfort measures, exercises, or preparation techniques. These examples are provided for informational purposes only and are not to be interpreted as a promise or guarantee of results. You must use your own judgment and consult with your healthcare provider before applying any information from this course to your own pregnancy and birth.

Forward-looking statements: Any reference to potential outcomes—such as increased confidence, smoother labour, or reduced need for interventions—are intended as aspirational examples of what may be possible for some individuals. These statements are based on professional experience and evidence-based knowledge, but they are not promises. Many factors will determine your actual experience, and there is no guarantee that your results will be the same as those described.

You are strongly encouraged to:

Discuss all birth preparation plans, exercises, and techniques with your midwife, doctor, or other licensed healthcare provider. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience concerning symptoms during pregnancy, labour, or postpartum. Understand that medical decisions during labour may change based on evolving circumstances, and flexibility is essential.

We assume no responsibility for any adverse effects, injuries, or outcomes resulting from your use of any information, techniques, or suggestions provided in this program. By participating in this course, you acknowledge that you are solely responsible for your own health decisions and outcomes.
