Average Rating: 
Rating:  - recommendation of The Bradley Method
This is a very good book. I found it when looking for something for my daughter and son-in-law, expecting their first baby. It supplants Thank You, Dr. Lamaze, with the latest information on home birth without drugs and medical paraphernalia. My daughter had her baby at home with a midwife, and is so grateful for the information in this book. I hope it's instrumental in a revolution in childbirth in this country
Rating:  - Good book - needs updated/revised
This is a great source of information, whether or not you have taken the Bradley classes. It helped me to get a better feel for the classes and what they contain.
My only complaint is that this has not been revised since 1996.
Rating: - Great Bradley method book
We were looking for a natural childbirth experience and this book made that dream a reality. We couldn't afford to take childbirth prep classes so I read this text; it included everything I wanted to know and needed to know to bring about a wonderful birth experience. I definitely recommend reading this if you want to avoid taking drugs during labor or if you don't care about drugs but just want an amazing birth experience.
Rating: - Very informative
Extremely well written, can't say much for the 1970's pictures *ha* but very detailed about the step-by-step of labor preparations. I remembered it all in labor, which was amazing. I use the techniques even now, not pregnant, but just to relax at night before I sleep.
To make the Bradley Method work, I advise you to get your partner or birthing coach to read it, also!
Rating: - This book was very relieving to me - someone who was always afraid to give birth!
My whole life I never wanted to have children because I was afraid to give birth. But then after finding out I was pregnant with twins I needed to find some way to calm my fears and move forward. I was strongly against having a c-section, and this book was what empowered me to voice my opinion to my doctors and nurses during my time of need. Even though I ended up giving birth 2 months early (with twins this involved a lot of intervention) I was able to give birth naturally (though not drug free), but that was the most important to me... to let the babies come when they needed to come, and to go with your own body's flow - it is very important to be educated and informed with childbirth decision making!! And to choose an educated doctor as well - mine was fine with delivering twins vaginally, even though they were 2 months early. She was also upset that the hospital wanted to set me up for a c-section even though both babies were head down. This book will let you know where you need to have strength and get through your pregnancy and delivery!!
