Better Than "Bringing Baby Home"

"Expecting our first, my wife and I have bought several DVDs related to childbirth, etc. We first chose to purchase "Bringing Baby Home" rather than "Laugh & Learn" because the reviews and descriptions made it seem much better. But we found "Bringing Baby Home" somewhat disappointing. We really liked the other DVDs in the "Laugh & Learn" series, so we came back and bought this one. "Laugh & Learn About Newborn Care" is much better than "Bringing Baby Home". More comprehensive and better presentation. Very well done like all the "Laugh & Learn" series."

This dvd saved me!

"I watched this DVD to brush up for my third child, since it had been awhile between children. I really wish I'd had it for my first two pregnancies. I can not believe how much I learned. It gives step-by-step instructions for different modes of pain relief and detailed descriptions of what's happening with each stage of labor. But it flows easily from one part to the next and keeps you laughing while you're learning.

So when my third labor progressed WAY faster than we'd expected, I was prepared and used the techniques I'd learned to focus and get through what could have been a painful and scary experience. Instead I knew what was happening at each moment and could visualize the happy end result (my beautiful little boy). This DVD is worth more than BOTH of the other prep classes I took for my first deliveries."

This DVD is incredible helpful

"I was registered for a Lamaze class and bought this video only as a backup, in case my husband couldn't make it to class. Turns out, the class was really boring while both my husband and I found this video incredibly captivating and helpful. We actually watched it twice. I felt very prepared for labor after this video. The instructor is great - very structured, offers tips that you can remember easily, and has a great sense of humor. I wish she were my labor nurse!"

"I have viewed this set of tapes, part of the tapes I have viewed more than once (one of the advantages of owning the tapes). When I saw the videos I couldn't believe how much I learned even after having given birth to three children. I cannot express enough what a great tool this is in preparing couples for the big event."

Skip expensive classes - buy this DVD!

"We bought this mainly because one 8 hour class of information felt overwhelming (and $130 class fee seemed very high!). We LOVED this DVD. We watched at our own pace and used many of Sheri's techniques during my labor and delivery, including a breathing technique when they tell you NOT to push. Who knew that could happen! Sheri did! I believe my delivery was easier because the "pushing" technique Sheri taught was dead-on to get that baby out as quick as possible! She really does cover everything."

Awesome for squeamish Fathers-to-Be

"I negotiated that my husband would be in the delivery room as long as he didn't have to attend childbirth classes with gory videos. (And honestly, the idea of squatting on pillows and panting with a bunch of other preggies did not appeal to me either!) But when the time came closer we realized that we needed more info than the books could give.

My husband purchased this and we both loved it. Lots of good info, and even the graphic stuff wasn't bothersome. We enjoyed Sheri's sense of humor and laughed a lot. Cost a fraction of what the hospital childbirth classes were running - plus, we plan to review it again in a month right before I'm due - you can't do that with regular childbirth classes."
