The Birth Preparation Course Student
You deserve a pregnancy and birth experience that's right for you.
Hi! I'm Dr. Nicole Calloway Rankins. Board-certified, practicing OB/GYN and mom of 2 - and I empower first time moms to feel supported and prepared for pregnancy and birth.
Over the last 15 years, I’ve helped thousands of women learn how to advocate for the experience THEY want as they bring their babies into the world.
There's no 'right' or 'best' way to give birth.
But when you’re deeply connected to YOUR values and desired birth experience, you’re less stressed and more prepared. You understand what could happen during labor, birth, and postpartum — and you know EXACTLY how to deal with it.
My life’s work is devoted to demystifying childbirth by lovingly sharing the knowledge and mindset shifts you need to be calm, confident, and empowered for your child’s birth.

Make A Birth Plan The RIGHT Way
Hear me when I say that you need a birth plan. Making a birth plan is one of the most effective ways to have the birth you want, especially within a system that too often involves a patriarchal approach to birth, takes away power from women, and is racist. However, the way most women make a birth plan is well....wrong. (Those online templates and forms just don't work).
