#bradley method

By that argument, women may also be surprised that no apple, including granny smith apples, have been proven safe for mothers. For nine months women are warned to stay clear of all drugs in order to protect their baby, yet at the time of meals the arsenic content in apples is often forgotten. Restaurants are actually required to post warnings to pregnant women about drinking alcohol.

In my mind, a man who has never given birth shouldn’t be so sure about something he’s never experienced unless his method is backed by peer-reviewed research in respected scientific journals. The Bradley Method also teaches women to be suspicious of doctors, which is convenient since most OB-GYNs don’t believe in the Bradley Method. Who do you trust more? I trust OB-GYNs and mainstream medicine.

If you want a “natural birth”, that’s great but do it at a hospital, where a doctor with an actual degree might save your life in case something unexpected happens. This is a luxury that cavewomen didn’t have. The modern day women who “trusted their body” and died giving birth because they were too far away from medical care won’t be able to warn you.

So I told my spouse that we’re going there because they’d have a lot of experience giving C-sections in case of an unexpected birth complication. I’m so glad that Bradley Method instructors know of at least one statistic!
