Viewing childbirth as a traumatic experience, the Leboyer method uses decreased light and noise to help the newborn adapt to extrauterine life more easily.
The Bradley method teaches women to use abdominal muscles to increase relaxation and breath control; emphasizes avoidance of all medications and interventions.
The Lamaze method involves concentration and conditioning to help the woman respond to contractions with relaxation to decrease pain.
The Dick-Read method helps to prevent the fear-tension-pain cycle by using slow abdominal breathing in early labor and rapid chest breathing in advanced labor.
