Bradley Method Classes

Has anyone taken a Bradley Method class? I am interested in possibly taking this class. I found a few instructors, but I am wondering if anyone has any personal experience with any. 

I am due in March and it looks like is is a 12 week class, so it sounds like I need to get on signing up for a class soon. 

TIA!

    My Bradley instructor is starting another set of classes in a few weeks in the Minnetonka area if you are out that way! My husband and I weren't able to take the full classes because of his travel schedule, but we were able to get private lessons with an instructor who coud work with our schedule and so far we are loving it!

    I would recommend starting the stretches now...never too early to start!  https://www.ehow.com/way_5376043_pregnancy-exercises-images.html

    Or you could start reading dr Bradley's book if you want more info about the course...it's called husband coached childbirth and it's very helpful and informative!

    Hi there.  Yes, husband and I took Bradley classes for Baby 1 (born 4.8.11) and loved it.  Was very helpful during pregnancy and esp at the delivery.  The woman who taught our Bradley class was also our Doula (I delivered at UMN Fairview Riverside).  I found her through Blooma Doula evening (First Thurs of the month I think).  Her name is Karen Bruce and the classes were in S. MPLS.  You can also browse the Childbirth Collective Website for more information on Doulas (who might also be doing Bradley).

     

    Good luck and congrats on your March babe :)

    Thank you both. Those were actually 2 of the names I had found. So I am glad to hear people having positive experiences with both of them!

    MY DH and I are starting our classes next month.  We're due the end of march too!

     

    Our instructor is Kari Peterson and she's near Lake Nokomis.  I've not met her in person yet but she's been pretty flexible with us making partial payments ahead of class rather than a lump sum.  Price wise, she was right in the middle.  Not the cheapest, not the most expensive.  

    This is her site on the Bradley page. https://www.bradleybirth.com/karipeterson
