How this works, what is saved, and how to keep it.
Used to greet you and to put your name on your certificate.
Your partner can take the course too — they sign in on their own device with the same access code. Because nothing is stored online, the two of you will not see each other's notes or progress.
Worth knowing before you put a lot into it.
So you can see what you would lose.

Before You Start
This course is designed to move with you. There are no grades, no deadlines, and no one right way to work through it. You can take your time, return when you’re ready, and focus on the information that feels most useful to you.
Here’s what you’ll find along the way.
Start with the course and module that makes sense for where you are. Each module shows you what it covers and approximately how long it may take.
Each module opens with a short introduction to help you know what to pay attention to as you learn. When you’re ready, select Begin the Module.
Use the arrows, swipe, or select the dots along the bottom to move through the slides. Nothing is timed. You can stop whenever you need to and return later.
As you move through the course, you may see key terms or Columbus-area resources connected to what you’re learning. Select them for more information, definitions, or ways to connect with support.
Throughout the course, you’ll find opportunities to turn what you’re learning into practical next steps. You might be encouraged to ask a question, talk with your support person, prepare something for later, or learn more about your care.
These are for you. Complete the ones that feel useful, when they feel useful.
At the end of each module, a few questions will help you review some of the most important ideas. These are not graded. If you miss something, you can try again and use the explanation to learn more.
Your individual answers are not shared with Queens Village.
Most importantly: you don’t have to learn everything at once. Use this course as a resource you can return to as your questions, needs, and experience change.
Work through the modules in any order that suits you. Each one is broken into short sections you can pause and come back to.

Everything that is yours to keep, in one place. Nothing here is locked — you can open a guide before you reach that module, or go back to one long after you have finished it.
Your answers are saved on the device you wrote them on, so a guide filled in on another phone will read as blank here. to keep a copy of what the course holds.

For generations, Black families have shared knowledge about pregnancy, birth, babies, and caring for one another. We have also navigated real inequities in maternal health and healthcare. Sometimes experiences become so familiar within our families and communities that we begin to assume they are simply part of pregnancy or birth.
This course is an invitation to learn more: about your body, your options, what to expect, signs that deserve attention, questions you can ask, and ways the people around you can support you.
You deserve information that helps you feel prepared for birth — and empowered to participate in your care.
This is your city, and this course was built for the families in it.
Black maternal health inequities are not only a national issue. Black families here in Ohio and across our local communities continue to experience differences in maternal and infant health outcomes and in their experiences of care.
Knowing that context isn’t meant to make pregnancy or birth feel frightening — and it isn’t a prediction of what your experience will be. It is one reason this course intentionally pairs childbirth education with tools for navigating your care.
Throughout the course, we’ll help you:
Our goal is not for you to leave knowing everything. It is for you to leave feeling more informed, prepared, supported, and confident about where to turn when you need more information or help.
