TODD & DOROTHY WALDRON
*We have a new class starting Tuesday, May 5, 2026. This class will be a special accelerated 8-week class for those who cannot complete our 12-week class. Please contact us if you’re interested in joining us!
We are Todd and Dorothy Waldron, and we have been team-teaching The Bradley Method® for 25 years!
The Bradley Method® comprehensive class series will prepare you to give birth without unnecessary pain or potentially harmful interventions, using the most successful method of natural childbirth in the world!
We will cover:
- Anatomy and physiology of pregnancy and birth
- Doctor or midwife? How to select a caregiver
- Choosing a birth location: Which hospitals are most supportive? Why home birth?
- Medical terminology
- Nutritional guidance and exercise to help you feel great and stay low-risk
- Training your husband/partner to be a highly skilled birth coach
- What is a doula? Do I need one?
- Interventions that may be offered during pregnancy, labor, and birth, including their risks and benefits
- Pros and cons of pain-relieving medication during labor
- What to do if your doctor does not support your desires
- Creating an effective birth plan
- Recognizing the stages of labor
- Water birth
- Newborn procedures: Are they all necessary?
- The importance of bonding: What hospitals allow it?
- How to communicate with family, friends, and coworkers who do not agree with your desires
- C-sections and other variations or complications
- How to avoid postpartum depression
- Breastfeeding basics, newborn care, and positive parenting
The course is set up as a 12-week group class, limited to a maximum of 6 couples in order to ensure personal attention from the instructor and encourage camaraderie between students. You will receive a Bradley Method® Student Workbook and weekly instruction in a fun and positive atmosphere.
You should plan to begin your classes no later than the 26th week of pregnancy to ensure that you have completed the entire 12-week series before your baby arrives.
*If you don’t see a class that fits your needs, or you don’t have 12 weeks, we can work with you! Please contact us, as we often add additional classes to our schedule.
