Birth for Joy

Natural childbirth is an important goal since most people want to give their babies every possible advantage, without the side effects of drugs given during labor and birth. Bradley® classes teach families how to have natural births. The techniques are simple and effective. Classes include background and principles of true natural childbirth, nutrition, exercises, relaxation, positive communications, birth process review, consumer issues, coach's role, natural labor techniques, breastfeeding, 
preparation for unexpected outcomes, birth plans, postpartum adjustment, and the newborn. Information on other pertinent topics is supplied upon request. If your Bradley® teacher cannot help you, then you will be referred to other professionals in the area who can.  

Your local Bradley Method® Instructor is a professional trained to help pregnant couples obtain the birth experience they desire. Each instructor has gone through intensive training and is required to re-affiliate each year.
