The Bradley Method®

The Bradley Method® is a 12-week curriculum that acts as a safety net for childbearing that stresses taking responsibility for self-education and focuses on the application of evidence-based, scientifically sound labor practices and the integration of the birth partner into the pregnancy, birth, and family life. A Bradley® class covers prenatal nutrition, prenatal exercise, anatomy, birth physiology, labor positions and coping techniques, labor complications, interventions, pain management, consumer (healthcare) rights and legal issues, suprise-birth (when you have to catch the baby yourself), postpartum preparation, postpartum adjustment, and breastfeeding education.
