For example, I was given narcotics during my first labor, and had no classes or preparation for the intensity of the second one.
By the time baby number three was coming, I knew there must be a better way to do this! We read Husband Coached Childbirth, by Dr. Robert Bradley. It made complete sense, and I knew right away the techniques would work!
We took Bradley Method® classes, worked hard to prepare, and had a gentle, beautiful birth experience and a healthy baby.
I attended the Childbirth Educator training in Denver, Colorado in 1992, just before our son's first birthday. After that wonderful birth, I had wanted to share what I had learned with other families who desire to have a natural birth in the setting of their choice. A few years later, our fourth was born, making our family complete.
