    Synopsis

    Since the Bradley method was first introduced in 1970, a growing number of expectant parents have opted for natural childbirth, knowing that it's safer than medicated or surgical delivery. But where can parents-to-be go for information on how to have a successful Bradley birth? This book provides all the answers, offering sound advice on how to prepare physically for labor and what to expect during each of its stages. Photos & line drawings.

    An encouraging perspective.by LJD

    March 02, 2009: This book was recommended to me by a friend who could see how anxious I was about childbirth. Despite being a nurse myself, my perceptions of childbirth had more to do with pain than enjoyment. After reading this book, I felt so empowered as a woman! I finally understood the purpose of the childbirth process because the author uses such wonderful analogies. It also helped my husband understand what my body would be going through. The author is clearly biased towards all-natural childbirth, focusing heavily on the risks associated with most traditional interventions. She also talks about the hospital policies and routines as though they aren't in place for patient safety or positive outcomes. I would recommend this book, but would also encourage a reader to take it with a grain of salt. I am not planning on having a purely natural childbirth, but am grateful for this book because it put a lot of my fears at ease.

    August 04, 2007: The Bradley Method is the best way to conquer your fears of vaginal childbirth by giving you tons of information about the risks your doctor will never tell you about associated with various medical interventions and by teaching you through practice relaxation and pushing stage exercises to deal with your pain naturally without dependence on harmful drugs. She goes over nutrition and breastfeeding, too. Every woman should read this book filled with pictures showing normal childbirth as it should be. This book changed my life and my entire outlook and belief system about childbirth, pregnancy and the U.S. maternity system.
