Audio Book Summary

The classic guide to an unmedicated childbirth, fully revised for the twenty-first century with updated information. For women birthing vaginally, 90% of Bradley births are drug-free!

The Bradley Method®, used and praised by women for almost seventy years, prepares you for drug and surgery-free childbirth and puts you in control by providing the tools to navigate evidence-based care. Certified childbirth educator Susan McCutcheon, one of Dr. Bradley’s first students, now makes this natural approach to childbirth more accessible than ever. You will learn:

• Exercises and nutrition to get your body ready for birthing
• To defuse fear by understanding all aspects of laboring
• How to involve your partner as a birth coach and a fully engaged participant
• What’s driving the induction epidemic and how to avoid an unnecessary induction
• What’s driving the cesarean surgery epidemic and how to reduce your risk 
• How to get the information you need to make informed decisions about your birth

“The Bradley Method’s simple objective, through relaxation, breathing, and visualization, is a birth free of the interventions frequently offered to women in the different stages of childbirth: fetal monitors, drug-induced labor, anesthesia, episiotomy, and Caesarean section. (Its) other defining feature, the husband’s active participation in the delivery, is critical to this overall goal of an intervention-free birth.”—Mothering

    This is book is incredible. I really don’t understand the negative reviews- and it seems it’s mostly people who don’t know how to divide information and see the current problem of today’s medical system. I love the way Susan brings forth facts about what goes on in hospitals, not to demonize the system but to bring awareness and attention to parents so they know what to expect if they truly want a peaceful natural birth. A hospital is not the place that is set up for that because OB’s are not trained for it, and have their own protocol and system regardless of the fact that RCT’s show the dangers they bring on women. Susan educates you on how to Make decisions that are best for YOUR family, and to make them with proper informed consent! Whether that is home, hospital or birth center! I love the scientific info she gives, and it’s not one sides- I truly felt so educated afterwards with my husband- especially after being subjected like a lab rat to things I didn’t want with my previous pregnancy
