THE LILA LABOR PREP KIT
Your Third Trimester Guide to a Calm, Clear, and Confident Hospital Birth

The Labor of Love Workbook is a childbirth education guide that walks you through the same step-by-step planning process used with private doula clients refined over hundreds of births. So when plans change (and they often do), you don't freeze. You know how to pivot because you're grounded in what truly matters.

“During labor, things moved quickly and I could feel myself starting to shut down. I already knew the words to use and what mattered most to me. Even when things didn’t go exactly as planned, I felt respected and empowered.”
For Many Moms, Planning a Hospital Birth Comes with Quiet Fears...
You’re doing everything you can to prepare for birth, yet beneath the appointments, advice, and planning, there’s a quiet worry lingering. Will you be heard? Will you understand your options in the moment? Will you know what to say when emotions run high? This guide meets those fears with clarity, support, and practical tools so you can feel grounded, informed, and confident when it matters most.
✔️ What if no one listens to me? What if I share my needs, but in the moment my voice gets overlooked or dismissed?
✔️ What if I’m pressured when I’m exhausted or vulnerable? What if I’m asked to decide quickly while tired, overwhelmed, or in pain, without time to think clearly?
✔️ What if I freeze and don’t know what to say? What if everything moves fast and I can’t find the words to speak up when it matters most?
✔️ What if I don’t fully understand what’s happening or my options? What if information feels confusing, rushed, or unclear, and I don’t realize I have choices?
✔️ What if I look difficult or dramatic for speaking up? What if advocating for myself feels uncomfortable, and I worry about being judged or labeled as difficult?
You don't need a perfect birth plan. You need a gentle, innovative, interactive way to prepare for pregnancy, birth, and the moments that matter most without overwhelm.
Introducing the Lila Labor Prep Kit
I've spent years building the Labor of Love Workbook from real conversations in real hospital rooms, tools that actually work when things get hard. Recently, I partnered with Caitlyn Schollmeier, a practicing nurse-midwife and the founder of Lila Maternity (you've probably seen their #1-selling Labor & Delivery Gown), to bring these tools to even more moms. Together, we created the Lila x Let's Talk Birthy Labor Prep Kit: the Labor of Love Workbook, the Birth Partner Playbook, and the Birth Affirmations Guide, all in one bundle.
“When I first met Caitlyn and learned she was a nurse-midwife, it immediately felt like we shared the same philosophy around childbirth education and maternal support. She’s built something incredible, and what stood out most to me was how deeply she cares about supporting women through the full birth experience.”
What’s Inside the Labor Prep Kit
The Labor of Love Workbook
The heart of the kit. It helps you better understand and thoughtfully prepare by guiding you through 8 of the most pressing topics in pregnancy and hospital birth: guided journaling prompts, partner discussion questions, advocacy scripts, labor cheat sheets, and step-by-step support, from building your birth team to writing your birth plan.
This full-color workbook is designed to be intuitive, supportive, and easy to understand.
The Birth Partner Playbook
A roadmap for the person beside you. The #1 thing moms say they need in the delivery room is a partner who knows the plan — what to do, what to say, and what not to do. Stage-by-stage labor support, a Say This / Not That cheat sheet, and scripts for talking with your medical team and practical guidance, so he's calm, steady, and ready when it matters most.
The Birth Partner Playbook is a birth plan for him.
You won't need to explain. He already knows the play.
Birth Affirmations Guide
Short, steady phrases to return to when labor gets intense, plus a guided birth visualization to practice before your due date. So when labor begins, the words are already in you.
Words to anchor you through labor.

I partnered with Caitlyn Schollmeier, a nurse-midwife and the founder of Lila Maternity, because we kept hearing the same thing from our communities, moms had the gown, had the bag packed, but didn't feel prepared for what was actually going to happen in that room. So we put our work together. The Lila x Let's Talk Birthy Labor Prep Kit is exclusive to Lila, you can find it at wearlila.com.
You deserve to feel ready for this.
Birth is one of the most important days of your life. You don't have to walk in hoping for the best. You can walk in prepared, grounded, and confident — knowing what to say, what to ask, and that your voice matters.
That's what this Kit is for.
