Welcome to the Personal Website of
LEHR, BARBARA & DAVID
Provisional Instructor 2012

Hello, My name is Barbara Lehr, and I would love to be your Bradley Method childbirth educator! With some help from my husband, David, I want to teach you and your husband about pregnancy, labor, childbirth, and newborn care.



I have had three births of my own: an emergency c-section in 1997 (45 minute labor with a double footling baby on his way out), a VBAC with an epidural due to experiencing back labor and not knowing how to handle it any other way(2000), and an all-natural birth (2005). My last birth was the most satisfying and gentle, and I became both a certified labor and childbirth doula (CBI) and a Bradley Method childbirth educator in order to help other women enjoy their labors and deliveries without the interference of drugs and unnecessary medical interventions.

I am a teacher by trade and vocation, having taught English literature and writing at state universities for over 20 years. Teaching about my favorite subject (pregnancy and birth) is a dream come true. I am very excited about teaching you and your husband how to labor and give birth the safest and most beautiful way possible.
