Lamaze is not about “breathing” anymore but about a sound philosophy rooted in the teachings of Fernand Lamaze, a French obstetrician who developed a method of breathing and relaxation techniques in the 1950s.
His particular concern was education, believing that a woman giving birth would be better prepared if she and her partner were well educated and learnt basic tools such as breathing and relaxation techniques to cope with the associated pain of childbirth.
His basic reasoning was that fear of the process itself was likely to induce more and unnecessary pain, and so it was that he developed his “technique” which then became the “Lamaze method” and was transported to the U.S.A. via Marjorie Karmel and her groundbreaking book “Childbirth Without Pain”.

 ALACE | Mission and History of Childbirth Educators
The most well-known method of natural childbirth in this country, "Lamaze," was developed around 1950 by Dr. Ferdinand Lamaze in France under the name "childbirth without pain." Lamaze had witnessed women in the Soviet Union giving birth without anesthesia after they had undergone Pavlovian conditioning to breathe and relax during contractions.
Lamaze further developed his own technique to include implementing the use of varying levels of shallow breathing, and staring at a fixed focal point.
Just as Kleenex has become nearly synonymous with tissue, Lamaze classes sometimes seem to be used as a generic term for childbirth preparation classes.
