Why should you choose the Bradley Method of Natural Childbirth?
Bradley Method natural childbirth classes offer 12 weeks of comprehensive education: information designed for couples planning to give birth in the hospital or at home. They total 24 hours of quality instruction, labor rehearsal, medical information, communication suggestions and more. Click here for testimonials!
Classes are small, between five and seven couples, to individualize instruction where needed and to answer specific questions.
Hospital classes vary from one day (!) to four weeks and generally prepare you for the standard hospital routine of managing labor with augmentation and pain medication.
If your goal is to have a low-intervention unmedicated birth, that level of information is not enough! Whether you are having a home birth or a hospital birth, I believe that moms should have some ownership over the experience, and you can't do that without preparation and education: that's what the Bradley Method will give you.
The Bradley Method of Natural Childbirth promotes:
- Natural childbirth
- Active participation by the husband as coach
- Excellent nutrition
- Avoidance of drugs during pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding
- Training and preparation
- Relaxation and natural breathing
- Understanding your body and working with it
- Breastfeeding your baby
- Parents preparing for unexpected situations
