Bradly Childbirth Classes with Gillian Foreman

Gillian is a good friend and fellow doula. We also back each other up for births and postpartum care. Here is info on her Bradly class she is giving:

New Bradley Series Starting! January 9th!

Just wanted to write a quick word that there is availability for my next Bradley class staring Sunday, January 9th, 2:30-5:30 pm, right off of the A train in Inwood (near 207 & Broadway). The series will include a binder of handouts we create together, Susan McCutcheon's "Natural Birth the Bradley Way" and access to my ever growing library. It will run consecutive Sundays, and make-ups are included.

What is Bradley? We cover:
   * Nutrition, Exercises / Positions, and Relaxation
   * Anatomy & Physiology of Birth
   * Father / Coaches Role: Obstacles, Challenges, & Techniques
   * Massage
   * First and Second Stage Labor Techniques:
     Labor Rehearsals / Coaching Keys & Tools
   * Planning Your Birth
   * Variations & Complications, including Cesarean Birth
   * Postpartum Preparation (for mom and family)
   * Immediate Post-Birth Discussion (includes newborn procedures,
     cord clamping, skin-to-skin, and breastfeeding)

My course also includes a session on Breastfeeding Basics and a Babywearing Introduction, including holds, colic tips, and early sleep tips.

I encourage couples to come just to meet me and learn more about the Bradley classes in the first session, before making a commitment.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Here’s to Happy Birth-days!
