Why a natural birth?
No, you don't win a medal or get a cookie!
But natural birth is the best choice for you and your baby. And it may just be the most empowering and rewarding accomplishment you ever do. You give your baby the benefit of a being born without the side affects of drugs or other interventions.
We believe that most women when properly trained and supported by a loving coach can have a natural birth. The Bradley Method gives you that training so you can have the beautiful birth of your choice.
Despite what they tell you, all medications (including epidurals and spinal blocks) do get to the baby. Even a so called "local" anesthetic enters your bloodstream. If the medicine from an epidural did not enter the bloodstream, it would never "wear off."
Those same pain medications also can have a dysfunctional effect on your labor. Instead of having an efficient, functional uterine contraction that helps the baby be born, dysfunctional contractions can stall out your labor leading to more medical interventions.
A natural birth helps your baby to reach his or her fullest potential. Your baby is starting off with a clean slate instead of being repressed by narcotics. Pain medications used in epidurals and IV sedation easily cross the placenta within minutes. If the mother is given a dosage for her weight of 140 pounds while the baby weighs only 7 pounds, the dosage that the baby receives is 20 times more!
Breastfeeding and bonding receive a huge benefit from an unmedicated mother and baby.
It comes down to YOUR choice about what you use to manage the stress of labor. We're here to help you make informed choices when the time comes. Our priority is healthy baby, healthy mom, and healthy family.
While complications do arise that would require interventions, natural labor and delivery are the norm. As Dr Bradley and a famous butter commercial used to quote, "It's not nice to fool mother nature!"
