Husband-Coached Childbirth (Fifth Edition): The Bradley Method of Natural Childbirth
I like the principles of the Bradley method, and this book does a decent job of explaining the basics, but I found many things off-putting. At times Bradley seemed a bit patronizing and the strict gender roles he describes don't mesh well with 21st century America as I know it. Talk of God and the "lower mammals" may also be irritating to some. There is a 5th edition out now that hopefully addresses some of these issues. My biggest complaint, however, is that the book doesn't present the entire Bradley method. You have to attend a class given by an official Bradley method instructor to learn the details of the exercises, relaxation techniques, positions and diet at the heart of the Bradley method. Those who don't have the time and/or resources to take a 12-week class or who aren't near any certified instructors are just out of luck. So while I really like the method, this book just isn't worth very much by itself.
Borrowed from the public library.
