About Birth Positive

My name is Lauren Seidman and I am a mom of 4 and Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator (LCCE). I developed a passion for information related to pregnancy, birth, and postpartum through my own pregnancies and birth experiences. I am excited to be able to channel this passion by teaching expecting parents; which I have been doing since November 2018.  Prior to becoming an LCCE, I worked as a Consultant for a Big 4 Firm in Manhattan. 

Birth Positive was born because of a desire to help new parents feel excited and prepared to bring their baby into the world, despite the negative depictions of birth that are so prevalent in our culture. Parents who take a Birth Positive class will gain the knowledge they need to navigate this exciting (and sometimes overwhelming!) time in their lives. I not only cover birth preparation in class, but also dedicate time to the all too-often-ignored postpartum period. I believe that there is no one "right" way to give birth or to parent; and parents leave my class inspired with the information they need to have the birth and postpartum that is most aligned to what's important to them.

I truly feel that it is an honor when expecting parents choose me as their childbirth educator, allowing me to be a part of this special time for their family.  Knowledge is power when it comes to bringing a new baby into the world, and my hope is that my students leave my class excited and ready to take on this major life event. I hope to have the opportunity to learn with you soon to help you have the best birth (and beyond) experience possible.
