'DVD Of The Month' Pregnancy Magazine
"At first thought, a childbirthclass DVD might seem like another unnecessary prenatal purchase. If you're signing up to take a course, why would you need a recording? But think about having the freedom to watch at your own pace rather than schedule your life around the sessions. And the chance to watch key parts over and over.
If this is starting to sound good, consider the recently revamped 'Laugh and Learn About Childbirth'. The focus is on natural childbirth, but even if you're pro-epidural, you'll learn key information. Besides the basics like mom's anatomy and labor signs, instructor Sheri Bayles, B.S.N., R.N., teaches you about body changes that are sure labor tip-offs and decodes doctor speak so you'll feel comfortable in the hospital. The tone is lighthearted, but it's backed by experience: Bayles has been a labor and delivery nurse and is a certified lactation consultant as well as a Lamaze instructor.
Her jokes are actually funny, and the information is priceless. Our pick for playing again and again: the section on labor comforts, which shows pillow-supported positions and how your partner can massage you. "

REVIEW: I recently was sent the Laugh and Learn About Childbirth Book to take a peak at. I had never heard of Sheri Bales or the Laugh and Lean series before, but I will admit that I have really enjoyed reading this book.
This book would be a wonderful gift for expecting Moms-to-be. I really found this book super informative and so much fun to read. I was shocked that even though I have had three children and I read a ton while I was pregnant with my son I still learned a lot from this book.
It covers every aspect of childbirth that you could possibly have a question about. Laugh and Learn About Childbirth is filled with over 40 illustrations, 6 easy to understand chapters and numerous tips for even your partner.
