question – Why Bradley®?
Funny
you should ask. It was purely by accident. Well, I believe in divine
intervention and that everything happens for a reason, so I guess
it wasn't really an accident.
My
midwife gave me a list of childbirth educators in the area. I started
at the top and worked my way down. The first teacher wasn't teaching
a class at that time so I called the next one. I can't remember
why I decided against her class, but the third one on the list was
our local Bradley® teacher. I had never even heard of The Bradley
Method ®. I talked to her and she had a class starting the following
week and told me all about it. It was exactly the philosophy I believed
in, I just didn't know it had a name! I was sold. And my husband
liked the idea of "Husband-Coached" childbirth.
We
took the classes in preparation for the birth of our first child.
We learned and practiced all the exercises. We faithfully practiced
our relaxation techniques. We had a detailed birth plan. We made
great friends who shared similar beliefs about birth and parenting.
We were ready – or so we thought...
