Jessica's Bradley class helped my husband and I feel confident entering
into our second childbirth experience. Having had a hospital birth with our
first that resulted in cesearean, we felt the knowledge we gained in
Jessica's class was truly what allowed us to have the birth that we wanted
for our second child. I would recommend all couples desiring a natural
childbirth take Jessica's class.
Amanda & Nate, Parents of two sweet sons!
Natural homebirth after cesarean (HBAC)
Jessica told me all about the wonderful options available to pregnant
women during their care and labor and delivery. The more I heard, the
more I was interested. We enrolled in her Bradley classes that were
conveniently scheduled for my husband and me to attend, and from the
moment I read the book on birth plans I was hooked. There were so
many options I wish I had with my first child that I did not want to miss
with my second! Reading that and other books that discussed
complications from drugs and unnecessary procedures made me realize
how very fortunate I was not to experience complications from my first
delivery.
Wendy, Mother of two beautiful boys!
Natural birth at a hospital
I always thought a woman went to the hospital, got her drugs, had the
baby, and was sent home. Taking the Bradley classes shed a new light on
not only how a woman has a baby, but how big a part the husband plays
in the birth. All of the different labor positions presented during class
showed me how husbands can really get involved.
Lenny, Wendy's husband
A friend told us that we just HAD to take Bradley classes. She herself had
used Dr. Bradley in the '70s to deliver her own babies. Knowing that we
needed to physically and mentally prepare for a drug-free birth, we took
classes for 3 months from Jessica. She opened her home to us and
taught interesting, thoughtful lessons each week. We learned so much
about the business of birth in the U.S., mother's nutrition, the physical
and emotional signposts of labor and also got to watch inspiring natural
birth videos each week.
Nicole & Nate, Parents of Baby Trevor
Natural birth at a hospital
After taking Jessica's class my husband and I felt prepared and confident
about our plan to have a natural childbirth experience. The most
important aspects that we took from the class were to relax, stay calm,
and let my body tell me what to do. With the knowledge I had from the
class, along with the support of my midwife, and husband, I was able to
push my baby out while squatting and holding on to the back of a hospital
bed. For me this was the most comfortable position to be in. I was going
on day five of having the flu, I was weak, and beyond tired. Gravity, along
with the ability to push my feet downward, helped me to push out my
beautiful baby boy. Learning that I had control of the situation, and
learning that there were many different positions one could be in helped
me tremendously. I loved that I was able squat! Thanks Jessica!
Sandra & Todd, Parents to baby boy, Alister!
Natural birth at a hospital
My husband and I took Jessica's Bradley classes and learned so much
even though we already had two children! The classes were wonderful and
prepared us for our home waterbirth and a new level of drug free delivery.
