When should I start a Bradley Method® class?
The Bradley Method® teaches natural childbirth and views birth as a natural process. It is our belief that most women with proper education, preparation and the help of a loving and supportive coach, can be taught to give birth naturally. 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 and teaching a woman how to deal with the stress of labor by tuning into her own body. The Bradley Method® encourages mothers to trust their bodies using natural breathing, relaxation, nutrition, exercise, and education.
Healthy nutrition, appropriate exercise, and pregnancy information can be of benefit throughout the entire pregnancy. For most couples, the fifth month is the suggested time to begin a Bradley® class series as they seriously start training for labor and for their upcoming role as parents. The earlier you start, the better prepared you will be physically, emotionally and mentally.
What is Natural Childbirth?
What is The Bradley Method®?
Natural childbirth is the act of giving birth without the use of any pain medication or medical interventions. Many women chose natural childbirth because they feel it offers the safest experience for both mother and baby.
What does The Bradley Method® teach?
a. Natural childbirth - Nearly 90% of Bradley® moms having vaginal births do so without
pain medication.
b. Active participation of partners/husbands. Learn to function as coaches/labor support.
c. Excellent nutrition (the foundation of a healthy pregnancy and baby).
d. Avoidance of medications during pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding, unless absolutely
necessary. No medication has been proven safe for an unborn baby.
e. Training: Weekly classes starting in the 5th month. Continued learning until the birth.
f. Relaxation and NATURAL breathing - these can be effective pain management
techniques with training according to the National Institutes of Health.
g. “Tuning-in” to your own body and trusting the natural process.
h. Immediate and continuous contact with your new baby.
i. Breastfeeding, beginning at birth provides immunities and nutrition.
j. Consumerism and positive communication with your care providers.
k. Parents taking responsibility for the safety of the birth place, procedures, attendants &
emergency back-up.
l. Parents being prepared for unexpected situations, such as emergency childbirth and
cesarean section.
