Natural Child Birth Class

Would you like to have a natural childbirth?

The Husband Coached Childbirth method was developed by Dr. Bradley, an obstetrician whose patients had a 96% success rate at having a natural, drug free labor and birth. Dr. Bradley focused on training the husband as a labor coach and familiarizing the couple with the natural changes that occur in a woman’s body during pregnancy, labor, and birthing so that they could approach labor with confidence.

During our 12-week childbirth education classes, you and your partner will learn:

• Good nutrition to keep yourself healthy and low risk during pregnancy
• Simple exercises to prepare your body for labor and birthå
• About the stages of labor, knowing what to expect
• How to effectively relax to avoid unnecessary pain
• About breast-feeding, postpartum & family

About the teachers: We gave spontaneous, natural birth in a hospital to our son after attending a Husband Coached Childbirth class. We feel we couldn’t have done it without the knowledge and confidence we gained in our Bradley class. Wanting to help educate other couples about the options that we have when pregnant, laboring, and birthing, we have completed the Bradley Method teacher training through the American Academy of Husband Coach Childbirth. Don’t hesitate to call or e-mail with questions about natural childbirth – you can do it!
