When is the right time to begin a Bradley class? Healthy nutrition, appropriate exercise, and pregnancy information can be of benefit throughout the entire pregnancy. For most couples, the fifth month is the suggested time to begin a Bradley class as they seriously start training for labor and for their upcoming role as parents. The earlier you start, the better prepared you'll be physically, emotionally, and mentally. The next session begins Thursday, March 1, and is appropriate for couples with due dates in mid-May and beyond. Fee for the 12-week course is $250 and includes the student workbook and Natural Childbirth the Bradley Way. Considerations will be made upon request for those unable to pay full fee. Class is approximately 2 hours in length and meets for 12 weeks. All Bradley Method classes are small to ensure personal attention and plenty of time for questions and discussion. Coaches are expected to attend class each week.
