Críticas:

"Instead of distracting yourself from the birth process...you are fully mindful and wholly engaged during Bradley's method of natural childbirth."--Natural Life

"Robert Bradley put power in patients' hands, reducing the number of Caesarean sections and episiotomies he performed and playing up natural ways of making childbirth less painful."--Slate

"The Bradley Method's simple objective, through relaxation, breathing, and visualization, is a birth free of the interventions frequently offered to women in the different stages of childbirth: fetal monitors, drug-induced labor, anesthesia, episiotomy, and Caesarean section. [Its] other defining feature, the husband's active participation in the delivery, is critical to this overall goal of an intervention-free birth."--Mothering

"I highly recommend not only the Bradley method, but specifically Susan McCutcheon's book to all my pregnant patients regardless of whether their goal is a natural childbirth. Susan does a great job putting her years of experience and research into a readable evidenced based guide to prepare women and their coaches for pregnancy, labor, and birth. I am grateful for the way this book expanded my knowledge and empowered me and my wife for our births."--Dr. Stephen Yip, D.O.

· How to get the information you need to make informed decisions about your birth
