The Bradley Method® of childbirth emphasizes educating parents-to-be about the birth process, thereby enabling them to feel in control and to achieve the safe birth experience they desire.
The method was created by Dr. Robert A. Bradley (1917-1998) and popularized by his book natural childbirth, nutrition, husband-as-coach, relaxation and breastfeeding. Classes are taught by a network of trained teachers, usually in 12 weekly meetings in the months leading up to mom's due date.
