Update on Bradley Training and Midwifery School
December 3rd, 2009 | 
Author: Thank you to all who support me!
I am so excited. I leave in 6 days to attend Bradley Childbirth Instructor training in California! This is a long awaited event for me. I am very excited to offer Childbirth Education as part of All Things Granola.
God has opened some “BIG” doors and I am in the process of applying for midwifery college. As soon as the application is processed I will begin school! The birth of my fourth child has changed my life in so many ways. After three hospital births, I decided to have our fourth child at home with a midwife. What a life changing event for our whole family. You can read that story here.
I couldn’t have done that without the Lord leading us to Bradley Childbirth Classes. And now I would love to share that with others on their journey of childbirth.
Then the opportunity arrived where I could get financial aid to a midwifery college. Wow what an exciting opportunity! The Lord also put a wonderful Christian midwife in my life just as we had moved to a new state. She has agreed to teach me and do my clinical. I’m so excited!!
And of course this does take money, time and dedication. So please pray for us as we adjust to my new schedule. Pray that I will be able to balance all my duties, especially after my hubby leaves for deployment. Pray that all the finances will be taken care of and our families needs will be met. And thank God for all the blessings he has shown us!

Hi!
I am considering becoming a Bradley instructor too! Can you tell me about your experience at your training? How did you decide to take the plunge? How can you know whether there is a market in your area? As you can tell I’m excited, but a little hesitant, as we are on one income as well. Any advice you can give would be appreciated!
The training is expensive, but they crammed a lot of information into the 4 days. It took almost 2 years to finally “do it.” We had to save money and we moved during that time, so I had to see if it was something I could do at our new home. We are military, so I hope to offer it on base too. I also hope to offer it in sign language for the deaf community, if there is a need for it. I love birth and this is a great way to be involved! Go to the Bradley website and look up local teachers in your area. They would be your best resources.
