How is Bradley Childbirth Education different from other childbirth methods?
Dr. Robert Bradley developed the Bradley Method of Natural Childbirth in 1947. It is a series of twelve weekly classes, with limited enrollment to ensure personal attention, educating through instruction, discussion, labor practice, communication exercises, and birth films. One of the major differences between the Bradley Method and other childbirth techniques is the focus of concentration. Bradley trained laboring moms concentrate on and work with their bodies. Other childbirth techniques often teach distraction methods to their couples.
