no Bradley births

This sign speaks for itself about the biases of natural childbirth, home births, etc.  And what is it based on?

What I don’t get is how a medical center wants to deny a woman to exercise, get good nutrition, relax during labor, breathe normally and educate themselves?  Those are the tools that a Bradley Method® delivery utilizes so what “method” don’t they want to be a part of?

Oh, hmm, maybe the education side of it?  Do the doctors really want women in the dark about their own care?  They don’t want us to be advocates for ourselves or our babies?  Can’t we challenge what we are being told?  I 100% support medical professionals and all the good they can do in emergency care and with the furthering of life and quality of life but we must remember pregnancy is not a disease, you are not sick and unless there are complications, your body does all the work, not a baby catcher.

Please show me a doctor who is not human, who doesn’t make mistakes, who has undivided attention and time for me and I will do whatever they tell me without question…

Additionally, if you ever see a sign like this (it was in a Utah office), run quickly out of there, do not pass go, do not let them “arrange for the transfer of your care” and tell everyone you know not to go their for medical care.

Too legit to quit

It’s official (I am legitimate), I am now an affiliated instructor with The BradleyMethod® of Natural Childbirth.

From the Bradley® website:

Your local Bradley Method® instructor is a professional trained to help pregnant couples obtain the birth experience the desire. Bradley® instructors are experts in the field of natural childbirth. All Bradley® instructors have gone through intensive training with the American Academy of Husband-Coached Childbirth® and are required to re-affiliate each year in order to continue teaching The Bradley Method®. The American Academy of Husband-Coached Childbirth® is proud of its affiliated teachers for their personal attention and outstanding success in training natural childbirth students. 

I am the only instructor in Monroe County and all of northern Ohio.  I am wrapping up my current series this month and plan to start my next series of classes September 22nd.
