I never took the class, but read the two main books about the Bradley method. I really liked it and found it helpful in both pregnancy and labor even though DH wouldn't do the homework with me. I had a friend who took the classes and not only did she enjoy them, but because she had to be induced for medical reasons, she ended up using the information from the parts of the class that she had thought didn't apply to her!

Recovering from mitochondrial dysfunction and Addison's/possibly very severe adrenal burn out using food, medicine, and a large amount of garden therapy.
I took it and thought it was very useful. You learn a lot about pregnancy and birth. I didn't wind up using most of the relaxation techniques because my labor was short, but I definitely used what I learned.

In a FTM also planning to start our Bradley method classes in January. If nothing else, I think it will also help my DH feel more involved in the pregnancy and labor.
Re: Bradley Method?
Heard of it but haven't decided what method we are using. I'm thinking maybe hypnobabies. I hear lots of good things about the Bradley Method!
ETA: The natural birth board might have more info
I'm a FTM planning to take this starting in January.
