The classic guide to an unmedicated childbirth, fully revised for the 21st century with updated information.
For women birthing vaginally, 90 percent of Bradley births are drug-free!
The Bradley Method, used and praised by women for almost 70 years, prepares you for drug and surgery-free childbirth and puts you in control by providing the tools to navigate evidence-based care. Certified childbirth educator Susan McCutcheon, one of Dr. Bradley's first students, now makes this natural approach to childbirth more accessible than ever. You will learn:
- Exercises and nutrition to get your body ready for birthing
- To defuse fear by understanding all aspects of laboring
- How to involve your partner as a birth coach and a fully engaged participant
- What's driving the induction epidemic and how to avoid an unnecessary induction
- What's driving the cesarean surgery epidemic and how to reduce your risk
- How to get the information you need to make informed decisions about your birth
Includes a bonus PDF with images.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews
“Instead of distracting yourself from the birth process… you are fully mindful and wholly engaged during Bradley’s method of natural childbirth.” (Natural Life)
“Robert Bradley put power in patients’ hands, reducing the number of Caesarean sections and episiotomies he performed and playing up natural ways of making childbirth less painful.” (Slate)
“The Bradley Method’s simple objective, through relaxation, breathing, and visualization, is a birth free of the interventions frequently offered to women in the different stages of childbirth: fetal monitors, drug-induced labor, anesthesia, episiotomy, and Caesarean section. [Its] other defining feature, the husband’s active participation in the delivery, is critical to this overall goal of an intervention-free birth.” (Mothering)

The point of this book is for individuals like me who want to be educated about natural birth. The comments on how this book is biased are a bit confusing to me as the whole reason natural mothers feel the need to stick up for our wants is because of the biased information that was pushed for the past 20 or more years for profit. Please understand the need for a book like this and if you want unbiased information, you should read as many books as you can from all sides, then make your own judgment call. This is the only way to do it as these books are not meant to overrule the needs of you, your baby, and what your ideal birth looks like. Please remember not too long ago where the medical community demonized midwives as witches and spent money on advertisements that conveyed that only poor, low-class citizens gave birth outside of the hospitals. In reality, our bodies were made to do this. Unless you have a high-risk pregnancy, there really is no NEED to have an expensive hospital birth on your back (which increases your chances of ripping btw). I personally love this book because I knew I didn’t want to bring my baby into the world in a place that have germs that I might not have antibodies against! My baby is only immune to the germs I have antibodies against and, in my opinion, why risk it?
I love this book and all the information shared. It made me feel much better about working towards a natural birth. If you are on the search for a great natural birth book that will walk you through the stages and give you the confidence needed to decide on natural birth... this is the book that did it for me!
