The Bradley Method

The Bradley Method is a childbirth approach that emphasizes natural labor and delivery. Developed by Dr. Robert A. Bradley in the 1940s, it encourages expectant parents to take an active role in the birthing process. The method focuses on relaxation techniques, partner involvement, and education about the physiological aspects of childbirth. It aims to empower women to trust their bodies and manage the pain of labor effectively, often without medication. Classes typically cover topics like nutritional guidance, breathing exercises, and the stages of labor, preparing couples for a more informed and confident birthing experience.
