Lamaze or Bradley classes???

Question

Hi, I'm trying to choose a prenatal glass and there are just so many choices out there!!

This is my first pregnancy (I'm 37yrs) and I'm pretty clueless.

I'd prefer a natural birth - I do yoga and am getting some hypnotherapy - but will take meds if needed.

Does anyone have any preference between Lamaze and Bradley classes (or anything else)?

Thanks so much :)

Answer

I took a birth prep class that included both lamaze techniques as well as bradley method. They also went over breathing and labor positions, and went over all meds in case people were curious about them and watched videos of natural, medicated and c section deliveries. It was very helpful! Maybe look into those instead of picking one over the other!  It was a doula who taught our class and she was fantastic!

Answer

I love my Bradley, my cousin loved her Lamaze- she gave natural birth and I plan to as well. She taught me a lot of what she learned and the difference I can tell is that Bradley is much more partner centered coaching- birthing as a team type deal, so my husband feels much more involved. Just depends on your needs for learning really
