Testimonies from our Couples:

The Bradley Method classes with our instructor Charity were an invaluable experience in preparing us for the birth of our son. We especially found that the information regarding the stages of the labor, and mock labor exercises we did in the class, greatly prepared us for our unique birth experience, and there’s no way we could’ve done as well as did without them. From our first class, we immediately connected with Charity and felt her genuine care for our family as we journeyed through our pregnancy together. We have already told other couples that we would highly recommend Charity and the Bradley Method classes, not only for the practical information it provided, but also for the teamwork mindset it encouraged between us as husband and wife. Taking these classes together helped strengthen our marriage and gave us a strong foundation of working together that has carried on into our parenting journey.  – Josh, Angie & Baby

So I was thinking that to say one thing from the class was the most helpful is a little unfair, because each birth is such a unique experience and the most amazing result from the class is that at each change and as each situation arose, we had a viable response because we had practiced all the techniques and variables in class! Having my first birth be a home birth, assisted primarily by my husband, I never once felt lost, confused, or unable to cope.  If I really had to pick one thing from class, and this is mostly from talking with other mothers afterwards, I  think going over the labor progression stages was the most helpful information from the class. Everyone I spoke with had problems going to the hospital or calling the midwife too early, and spending hours of extra time in a state of panic going “this is it!” Going over those stages and the repercussions of stressing early on made my first hours of labor a cakewalk. Now that I’m thinking about it, also the information about PROM and the constant nutrition encouragement were also so important, especially when my friends who’ve had none of that sort of input have had premature babies. I thought I knew so much before the class, and had so many resources already, but now I realize that even what I knew was almost meaningless because it wasn’t distilled and applicable the way everything from the class was.  Anthony says that for him the breathing and relaxation training was the most important, and I thought that would be so because he was the one who had  to think about that, I just had to listen to him and do it!  I’m telling as many people as I can to take a Bradley class!  Lots of Love and Gratitude!  ~Laura & Anthony, & baby
