DH and I will start taking Bradley Method classes on January 17. Has anyone else taken the classes? If so, what was your impression? Did the classes help you achieve a natural birth experience?
Me, 41; DH 38; TTC since July 2012, 1st round of Clomid, BFP on 10/19, what an incredible blessing! M/c on 7w3d; D&C on 11/30; 4th round of Clomid 100mg = BFP on 04/19!!! M/c #2 at 7w; D&C on 5/30, then repeat D&C on 7/1. Saline u/s on 8/2, uterus looks great! Will start TTC in 09/13 w/ Clomid 100mg. Surprise natural BFP on 8/25!!! Beta #1=95, #2=182, #3=404! EDD 5/4/13...Grow baby grow!
You might want to check over on the Natural Birth board - you might get more input from over there with experiences.
According to my doula, Bradley is great for understanding the power of your body and the actual process of labor. This time around, I'm trying Hypobabies.
Married 08.06 Started TTC 05.08 Me: Stage II endo, borderline high FSH DH: perfect 1 lap, 5 IUIs = 4 BFNs and 1 c/p 2 IVFs, 2 FETs = 1 BFN, 1 c/p, 1 ectopic and finally a sticky BFP in May 2011!
We had taken them with our 1st, and am looking to use the same methods this time around I unfortunately needed a c-section (unplanned), but I did go over 18 hours without pain meds trying my hardest to get my son out! I consider that a victory in itself!
I also had a doula that was a great support - I will also have one this time around.
