The Bradley Method is a childbirth education approach developed by Dr. Robert A. Bradley in the 1940s. It emphasizes natural childbirth, encouraging women to trust their bodies and instincts during labor. The method promotes relaxation techniques, breathing exercises, and the involvement of partners as active support during the birthing process. Classes in the Bradley Method typically cover topics such as prenatal nutrition, labor stages, and postpartum care. The goal is to prepare couples for a positive birth experience, focusing on minimizing medical interventions and fostering a calm environment. This method is often associated with home births and birthing centers.
