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), ... Read More
