"This book is a modern version of Dr. Bradley's original. It's more of a user's manual; it has a lot less on the theory and formulation of the method and it includes pictures, illustrations, practice exercises, real couples' experiences/outcomes, as well as a lot of info on the physiology of pregnancy, labor, birth, and other medical considerations (episiotomy, etc.)
I highly, highly recommend both books, but especially this one. We used this method all three times, loved it, and will continue to use it as the need arises! This book was a very important addition to my library. ;)"
"this book is very helpful if you are planning on a natural birth, but i felt that it was more helpful for my husband(birth partner) because it really breaks down what they need to do and how to help you... although i am glad i read it because it very much helped me and informed me on the bradley method (which isnt lamaze) i felt it benefits the birthing coach more. it is a great book."
"Great book! The pictures are out-dated, but most of the other information is up-to-date. It helped tremendously that I first read the Ricki Lake book to give me an idea of typical procedures used in hospital births today.
All in all, I can't wait to try out these relaxation methods. I'm sure it's different for each woman, but at least knowing what's normal and what to expect has already impacted my attitude towards the whole process. I went from being completely terrified of giving birth (more accurately, terrified of the pain, but still adamant about not wanting medication due to the effect on the baby) to feeling completely serene about the whole thing. I now know what to expect during the birth itself; different stages, what to look for, how to deal with the sensations in my body.
I plan to seek out a Bradley birthing class if I can find one near me."
"MUCH better than the Ina May childbirth book I attempted. I actually READ some of it! It had it's philosophy on natural childbirth, of course, which was easy enough to skip over, and then some great relaxation and visualization techniques and exercises to prepare for childbirth. THAT is what I was wanting from a childbirth book!"
