Editorial Review: Product Description: A revised and updated guide to The Bradley Method of natural childbirth utilizes the teamwork approach to help fathers work with mothers to provide a joyful birthing experience that eliminates drugs, shortens labor, lessens complications, and promotes healthy newborns. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Relax, Nature Intended for Natural BirthsYes, there are many short cited aspects of the book. Dr. Bradley says that childbirth is completely natural and an organic process and then frequently does episiotomy's. Cutting women is a cruel, and highly abusive practice. Other than that, this is a book that supports homebirth, and is aimed to help train women to relax during child birth. According to Ina May, and surely other great birth experts, to maximize the chance of a natural child birth, a woman needs to relax. The Bradely ... Read More Rating: - Very helpfulI thought the book was very informative and helpful on what to expect with labor. I just wish the book had a larger chapter on relaxation techniques. My husbnad and I do feel more prepared and confident about the birth of our baby. We wanted to go natural and this is our first child. This is definitely a book worth buying if you want to learn more about going natural. Reading the testimonials from other families was great, because everyone is different and you really don't know what will work for ...

The language used is a bit dated, but the principals and concepts are unchanging. This book teaches how a woman ...

But once I read this book and began attending the Bradley Birth Classes with my husband, my doubts disappeared. Everything made sense after that as I became educated and confident and prepared in the area of natural childbirth. In July, I delivered my first child without any medical interference, and everything went perfectly. I know we are blessed to have had the experience without complication, but we were prepared ... Read More Rating: - Very Helpful for My HusbandIn response to the other reviews, I'd like to say that this book was written to the husband of the woman having a baby, not to the woman herself. It's written by a man who has assisted hundreds (thousands?) of women during natural births to men who will be coaching, supporting and helping their wives through their own natural births. As a woman who has had two natural births and is anticipating her third in January, I read this before asking my husband to read it. Over and over I thought, "Oh, I'd love ...
