Abstract

During pregnancy, women and birthing people build an entourage of support, including a birth companion of choice to provide individualised care by actively participating in the childbirth process. This article examines the Bradley Method, which teaches the birth companion (husband) to coach birthing people using hands-on approaches, including massages, breathing exercises, relaxation techniques and verbal encouragement and its effect on labour outcome, coping response and maternal satisfaction with the childbirth experience.
