The Bradley Childbirth Method® classes will help you trust in your body's own laboring signals and the wonderfully designed birthing process.

Here are just a few of the subjects covered in our classes:

  • Learn the latest information regarding proper nutrition and why it is so important for mom and baby
  • Practice essential exercises that help reduce the stress and pain in labor
  • Practice labor rehearsal
  • Train/prepare your coach
  • Gain confidence in your own body and mental ability through relaxation to avoid pain-relieving drugs and the effects that come with their use
  • Make a dynamite birth plan
  • Gain knowledge of emergency childbirth
  • Learn the skills for breastfeeding and how to overcome obstacles
  • Know how to take care of yourself and your baby postpartum
  • Become skilled at newborn care, diapering, and babywearing

One out of three births in an American hospital today ends in a cesarean section? (major abdominal surgery). This is the choice-limiting situation that pregnant moms are up against today.

Why would any expecting mom and dad not want to educate themselves by taking Bradley Childbirth Method® classes?

The Bradley Method® is the husband coached childbirth method founded by Dr. Robert Bradley.
