Trust us, we are not turning into a bunch of anti-medicine, anti-hospital activists. And no, we are not giving birth in a tub or at home, but this is something Mindy found that really made sense to both of us.
We had heard various horror stories about labor and delivery. Since Mindy does not have the world's greatest threshold for pain (who really does?), she did some research and discovered the Bradley method. We took a 12-week class that met for two hours each Sunday and read a variety of books to try and prepare us the delivery of our first child. The focus of the class was to teach students how to minimize/mitigate pain during labor and how to allow the body to deliver our baby naturally.
Obviously, we do not know how things will turn out and we are certainly not casting judgement on folks that do it differently. If you want to do a little reading about the Bradley Method here is the their link: http://www.bradleybirth.com/Main.aspx
