Our Story: Bradley Birth Classes Online

When I was pregnant with our first child, Jeff and I took Bradley® classes together. My husband learned how to be an effective labor coach. We gained a deeper understanding of birth and baby care—and things we did not even realize we needed to know, from the stages of labor to breastfeeding, to how to avoid unnecessary interventions. I have had 9 natural beautiful Bradley® births, and every one of them was an incredible experience. We became affiliated Bradley® instructors because of our great birth experiences.

Bradley® classes are fun, engaging, and empowering for expectant couples. Jeff brings a bit of humor to the classes and draws from his experience as a father, husband, and coach.

After 20 years of teaching classes in four different states—East Berlin, Connecticut, Glen Rock, New Jersey, Ramona, California, and Greensboro, North Carolina—we transitioned to teaching online. Now, we have couples attending our interactive birthing classes from all over the United States. Couples can take our classes from the comfort of their own homes—or wherever they are. Online Bradley® classes are so convenient. Over the years we have learned how to effectively convey information to expecting women and their partners so that they are prepared to give birth and know how to advocate for themselves if the need arises. Our classes include games and break-out rooms so you can interact with the other couples in your Bradley® series, positive birth stories, and ample opportunities to ask questions.

I gave birth to my first child at the age of 24 and gave birth to my ninth child at the age of 48. I have given birth in a hospital, a freestanding birth center, and at home. My most challenging births were my sixth and eighth babies.

Our classes are appropriate for those planning hospital births, home births, and freestanding birth center births. We also provide information to VBAC moms, couples expecting twins, and parents who already have children.
