5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST, July 4, 2007

By	Alexander Gitin "infisoul" (New York, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Very Informative and Helpful. My wife and I could not make it to the Lamaze classes and we still glad we didn't. This video is great. My wife and I enjoy watching it, and learned a lot. The baby came out like a piece of cake (my wife doesn't agree on that one completely) but we both knew what we where doing)
We read the reviews that mostly criticized Sheri's sense of humor but we took a chance. Her humor is not that bad actually. She gets funny and sometimes goes a bit over the edge, however she is very knowledgeable and definitely has a talent of teaching. When she is describing important stuff she is serious and right on the point.
Some reviews criticized the quality of film making. I am professional photographer and my wife is an art teacher and we both studied film in college. In our opinion the cinematography part of the video is quite appropriate, informative video doesn't have to be a master piece.
Highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good video, not as cheesy as people say, May 12, 2008

By	Kaye from MN - See all my reviews

I was very happy with this DVD set (and in fact just ordered the breastfeeding DVD from the same instructor). I watched it in lieu of attending childbirth classes and do not regret that decision. I had read several books about labor and delivery, etc., and can't say that the video really contained a lot of new information but it brought the information together nicely and made me feel more prepared overall. I also appreciated the fact that the instructor did not spend a lot of time on breathing techniques and did not overly emphasize natural childbirth. Instead, she discussed the desirability of postponing medications until the labor is well underway because of the cascade effect of interventions (which seems sensible to me). But she certainly didn't try to push going natural all the way. As for the humor, it's not anywhere near as bad as some other reviews have made it out to be.

5.0 out of 5 stars Laugh and learn, June 4, 2007

By	S. Duncan - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Our biggest concern was retaining all the information one 8 hour lamaze class was going to give. The DVD's were very helpful because we could watch it and retain the information at our own pace, although we procrastinated until very last moment to finish the DVD. It was extremely helpful to be able watch it at the very moment we needed it ( the evening I went into delivery ). Sherri kept us laughing while we learned----- " a mucus what ! " and prepared us for one of the greatest moments in our lives.
