We are Ispa and John and we are a Bradley Birth Family.
We birthed our both children naturally after taking this course and ever since we have been sharing what it can do with you. For our first, what made me (Ispa) want to take this class and later share Bradley® with the world is not what it did for me, rather what it did for my husband. It changed his mind about so many things related to pregnancy and childbirth. Over the length of the course, he went from a scared first time dad, sure that his wife was completely out of her mind because she wanted to have their first baby 1) without drugs and 2) at home, to a man that was confident that natural, unmedicated childbirth was the safest way and the best way to have a baby.
Our Bradley® course, let me shift my focus from worrying how my husband was going handle it, to being in the moment and focusing on myself and our baby, thereby building in me the confidence that I was not insane and that I could indeed birth our baby without drugs. By giving me a partner that felt ready and prepared, which in turn allowed me to prepare myself, the Bradley® course helped make it possible for us to have the birth we desired and had planned for.
This course taught us to trust in a person's natural ability to birth and it showed us how preparation and practice can help make sure Mother Nature gets a fair chance before looking to medical interventions. Thanks to this wonderfully eye-opening and reassuring experience, our children were both born on our terms. It is an experience that I want to share with everyone, because if we can do it, anyone can do it. All it takes is preparation, practice and trust. Trust in yourselves, the body and its built in ability to birth.
You can do it. Let me show you how.
