The Bradley Method® is a husband (or partner) coached method of natural childbirth. Each 10 week series covers topics such as healthy pregnancy nutrition, how your body works in first and second stage labor, preparing and training the coach for labor, relaxation techniques, planning your birth, how to prepare for unexpected situations and newborn care & breastfeeding. In addition to the 10 week se
ries, I also periodically offer condensed weekend classes that cover the same main topics, just in a shorter amount of time. The weekend class is a great option for those living outside of the Sioux Falls area or for those whose schedules don't allow them to take the full 10 week class. Most recently, Simply Birth started offering placenta encapsulation services. This is a great resource for helping women have a gentle transition into the postpartum period. Benefits of placenta encapsulation may include: increased energy, increased milk supply, lower incidence of baby blues or postpartum depression, shorter postpartum bleeding time, increased iron stores after birth, better overall healing. Please don't hesitate to call or e-mail for more information or with questions!!
