Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Bradley method of childbirth is based on the premise that pregnancy and childbirth are joyful, natural processes and that a patient's partner should play an active role during pregnancy, labor, and the early newborn period. The patient's mother is not identified as being the partner in this method. During pregnancy, the patient performs muscle-toning exercises and limits or omits foods that contain preservatives, animal fat, or a high salt content. A high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet is not a part of this method. This method encourages walking and moving around while in labor and not lying in bed.
