Lots of Information - Slightly Annoying Delivery
We bought this DVD as a refresher course since this would be our second child. Sheri obviously knows her stuff and the DVD was every bit as informative as the actual lamaze class that we attended for our first child. The downside is her delivery (no pun intended). She acts out scenes as if she is the patient and the doctor/nurse which gets annoying over time. She has a New Jersey accent so it is kind of like listening to Fran Drescher as The Nanny tell you about childbirth - but not that extreme (my apologies to anyone from NJ).The other complaint is the sound quality. Because neither Sheri or the participating parents are wearing microphones they just sound far away. It is in a home setting and it sounds like it. It definitely does not have a professional sound quality.Overall, I would recommend this DVD. It is especially good if you want to go back and review a couple of sections a few times (you can never be too sure you had all of the signs of true labor down). We liked the DVD overall but it her delivery got annoying at times. And don't be fooled by the title and cover. It was mostly a serious DVD. There's not a lot of laughing going on but there is definitely some learning.
