The Bradley Method Class: $400
10 weeks; 2 hour class each week
The Bradley Method® classes cover: nutrition, exercise, comfort during pregnancy, the coaches (partner/husbands) role during the whole process, understanding labor and birth, variable that may arise, cesarean sections and how to avoid them, postpartum care, breastfeeding and caring for your new baby.
Our classes cover a few topics that are rarely discussed in other classes including how to prevent tearing, how to make the best of it if a cesarean is necessary, and most importantly, how to practice informed consent. A skill that you will use the rest of your life. We meet once per week for 10 weeks, having a total of 10 classes. This time commitment is essential to achieve the birth you're hoping for!
The Bradley Method® is unique. Our classes stress the importance of Healthy Baby, Healthy Mother and Healthy Families. We attract families who are willing to take the responsibility needed to prepare for birth and parenting.
Should I take a Birth Class if I want an epidural? Or if i'm not sure what I want?
Absolutely! No matter your plans for your birth experience, this class will open your eyes to the miracle of birth and dispel many of the mysteries. The class will also empower your partner, giving him or her the confidence to be an effective advocate for you and your baby, which will definitely be imperative if you plan to medicate. The beauty of education is it affords you the luxury of being able to make smart decisions for yourself.
