so while we arent going to do any sort of "method" but he is reading the Bradley method books, because I do want to focus on relaxation. and he said that he will always support my decision for no meds, but the moment I look at him with "that look" and I am for real about wanting meds then he will also support that decision. hes not going to tell me that it will be easier with meds, and he will support me and tell me I can do it, and so on. so I am happy with our decision. wish me luck. I still have a while and we still have a lot of practicing to do, but I am very optomistic

Wonderful that you're preparing a game plan and especially that he's supportive. You will do it!

I think that sounds like a great plan. The first thing I did when I wanted a natural CB was to read the Bradley books. Dh didn't read them but he got the "scoop" from me and more importantly from our classes. I love the method!

My dh is reading Penny Simkin's "The Birth Partner" but told me that he found the Bradley book by McCutcheon more informative/ helpful. Good for your dh.

GL!!
