Suzanne Koch, Natural Childbirth Education With a strong focus on nutrition, education, and help from a trusted partner, The Bradley Method is the best way to achieve a natural birth goal!

Are you interested in learning more about natural childbirth and its many benefits? Join a Bradley Method class to learn about birth options available to expecting women and couples. Wish a strong focus on nutrition, relaxation, exercise, and support from a trusted partner, The Bradley Method prepares new parents for a fearless birth and a joyful experience. While a Bradley class is an optimal cho

ice for those seeking a natural, drug free birth, it is also helpful to those seeking greater physiological information on their upcoming birth. Some benefits gained from classes include:
~Pain reduction and management for labor and birth
~How to stay healthy and low risk for more choices during labor
~Safe, effective ways to speed labor naturally
~Preparation for breastfeeding and bonding postpartum
~Focus on having the healthiest baby and mother outcome possible. I also offer labor assistance, or doula services for those looking for a helper or advocate during labor. Doulas have been shown to help shorten the first stage of labor and provide physical and emotional support to both the mother and father during labor. Labor support professionals can help a labor to seem more calm and private. I have had three beautiful, unmedicated births using The Bradley Method and have a desire to help others achieve their labor and birth goals as well. Please call or email me to find out about classes or doula services.

Fun fact: What modern obstetrics is calling "delayed" cord clamping is still not the optimal timeline to clamp a newborn's umbilical cord.
•
Check out the amount of blood still within the cord on the left versus the cord on the right in this image. All of that blood still contained in the cord on the left is biologically intended to be in the newborn's body post-birth if we left things to Mother Nature. Newborns whose cord is left intact after birth until all of the blood is transferred to baby have up to 32% MORE blood volume than newborns who have immediate cord clamping! And that comes without any increased risks despite what some care providers are telling women... and we know that based on a study done all the way back in 1995. Another one came out in 2010 stating that early clamping may interfere with 'nature's first stem cell transplant'. Once more, in 2013, a study published in the Cochrane database further supports the practice of allowing a newborn's umbilical cord to fully transfer all blood before clamping. And yet immediate cord clamping is still common practice in most hospitals today.
•
Newborns whose cord is left intact after birth have higher levels of iron, a lower risk of anemia, fewer transfusions, and fewer incidence of hemorrhage. Even waiting just two minutes before clamping an umbilical cord will increase that baby's iron reserve by 27 to 47 mg of iron! You guys, that is equivalent to 1 to 2 months of what an infant requires in iron. Does anyone find it interesting how pediatricians recommend supplementing with iron when you have a newborn…? What if we just allowed nature to take it's perfectly planned course and that baby already had the iron s/he needed thus no need for supplementation? Hmmm...
