Ooh how similar ! I too did the Bradley method for my first birth. I really needed Iโ€™ve chips though and thatโ€™s what I remember most from my dear husband ๐Ÿ˜† .

She's a hero. I know. All four of mine without so much as an aspirin until after delivery. I think I had a rather similar attitude as well. She's the best!

We had a Bradley birth in 1986. We also had an amazing Bradley teacher. One of the doctors in the practice( not mine )asked if I was going to squat in the corner and eat my placenta. Another one told me that most women in Savannah get to 5 cm and scream for an epidural, but I could give it a try.๐Ÿ˜ I had back labor for 36 hours and stayed home until the very end. When I walked into the labor room, my water broke, and when they put me in the bed, one of the nurses said โ€œThis oneโ€™s completely dilated!โ€ Itโ€™s been 40 years and it was one of the most momentous things that my husband and I ever did together. A year later, Matt and I became certified Bradley teachers and taught over 100 couples in the Savannah area. I also got to meet Dr. Bradley in person. I did all the thingsโ€ฆโ€ฆ. the family bed, nursed till she was three, and homeschooled her and our other two children that we adopted a few years later. I am deeply and forever grateful to Dr. Robert Bradley and his method of Husband- Coached Childbirth.

PS- Almost all of my nurse friends that were pregnant at the same time had C-Sections.
