www.bradleybirth.com/jenniferangell EVIDENCE Based -- EXPERIENCE Based -- The Most Successful Form of Childbirth Education in the World...I welcomed my daughter into the world in a beautiful at home water birth using The Bradley Method®. My experience was an unbelievable event, truly empowering, miraculous, gentle, and emotionally gratifying. Having had such a positive experience, and "hearing" my Bradley teacher's instruction during my labor and delivery, I knew I had to be a Bradley teacher.
After teaching 28 classes of The Bradley Method®, I had the amazing opportunity to bring my second daughter into the world in another magical at home water birth. Using the knowledge and tools from The Bradley Method® provided me with the confidence to birth again with no fear, trusting my body and my baby that our birth journey would go exactly as nature designed.
Dr. Robert Bradley caught 23,000 babies in his 46 year career as an obstetrician and had a 96% unmedicated vaginal birth rate. If you want to duplicate success, taking Dr. Bradley's course will prepare you mentally, physically, and emotionally to "rock your birth" and have a truly memorable experience!
I became a Bradley Method® Instructor to provide the education to bring more babies into this world naturally, healthier, and free from medical intervention. I am also a Certified Bradley doula, encouraging and empowering women in natural childbirth. I have attended over 250 births in the hospital, birth center, and home birth settings. 90% of my Mamas deliver their babies without the use of any medications or drugs. Giving birth is hard work! The Bradley Method® prepares parents with the tools to work through the challenges of labor and delivery, and empowers them to make their most informed and best choices along the way.

What is the difference between The Bradley Method® and other types of childbirth classes?
The Bradley Method® is unique. Our classes stress the importance of Healthy Baby, Healthy Mother and Healthy Families. We attract families who are willing to take the responsibility needed for preparation and birth.
The Bradley Method® Classes:
1. Teach a natural childbirth method that works - Natural childbirth is an important goal since most people want to give their babies every possible advantage. Without the side effects of drugs given during labor and birth. The Bradley Method® classes teach families how to have natural births. The techniques are simple and effective. They are based on information about how the human body works during labor. Couples are taught how they can work with their bodies to reduce pain and make their labors more efficient. Of over 1,000,000 couples trained in The Bradley Method® nationwide, over 86% of them have had spontaneous, unmedicated vaginal births. This is a method that works!
2. Provide each couple a 130 page Student Workbook containing the class curriculum, study guides, vocabulary, information on pregnancy, labor, birth, postpartum, coaches/doula training, ways of handling pain in labor, pre-birth bonding, staying healthy and low risk, nutrition, protein counter, general assignments, birth plans, relaxation exercises, labor rehearsals, certificate of congratulations, pictures and more.
3. Offer comprehensive education - When you take a class in The Bradley Method® you don't need most "extra" classes that are commonly offered. The Bradley Method® classes cover it all: nutrition, exercise, being more comfortable during pregnancy, the coaches role, introductory information about labor and birth, advanced techniques for labor and birth, complications, cesarean sections, postpartum care, breastfeeding (we do recommend La Leche League meetings) and caring for your new baby. Our classes cover a few topics that are rarely discussed in other classes like: how to reduce the need for an episiotomy and the likelihood of a tear, how to avoid needing a cesarean, how to make the best of it if a cesarean is necessary, and what should be done if the baby is accidentally born in the car.
4. Keep classes small enough for individual attention - The Bradley Method® classes average 3-6 (or 6-8) couples per class. Classes are kept small so I can get to know you and present a class that meets your needs. Small classes are also important so that you will have the space to do plenty of practice in class. Studies have shown that the Hawthorne effect (the effect of personal attention) makes for better learning and successful results.
5. Teach 12 weeks of classes, because it works. Couples who take a 12 week series are more likely to give birth naturally.
Course Content
Though every class has a specific topic which is covered in detail, each class will also cover nutrition, exercise, positive communication, and coaching. A different relaxation technique will be demonstrated and assigned for practice each week. Classes may also feature a video presentation.
Twelve Continuous Weeks of Classes in The Bradley Method®
Twelve weeks, 3 months, the last trimester of pregnancy. The standard series of classes in The Bradley Method® is 12 continuous weeks for many reasons. First of all it works. Our statistical analysis shows that students who attend a full 12 week class series are more likely to have an unmedicated birth. In looking at renewal information we have found that the fewer the weeks of classes the higher the rate of medication.
There are many reasons for this and perhaps the first is that there is a difference between learning information and preparing the body physically for an athletic event. No one would go out for an Olympic event with less than 3 months of training. Shortening the time of preparation for birth is like being in a rush to run a marathon and only starting to train the week before. Training to run in a race takes time and the human body takes time to prepare for birth.
