Bradley classes are amazing if you are really focused on natural childbirth. I found the class very helpful, but some of the teachers can be extreme. I believe everything is Ok in moderation, as I did NOT follow the diet to the T like you are supposed to do. It was very helpful to me during childbirth, although I did end up with an emergency c-section after 6 hours of pushing and labor of 23 hours (all drug free!). Good Luck on your journey!
I loved the class. While taking it I enjoyed having the support of other pregnant women. It also really helped during my 25 and a half hour labor which included 11 hours stuck in transition at 9cm. I think the class helped DH more than me, though. He understood the stages of labor better and said he was really glad we took the class. I would reccomend the class to anybody interested in a natural birth.
It worked for us! My DH and I both felt like we were educated about the different phases of normal childbirth, which helped reduce our fear during the process. The realization that the contractions/pain was normal helped me relax, which in turn helped reduce the pain. We had a great Bradley experience!
