Rating: 3.0
Annoying but helpful
I'm going to chime in with most of the other reviews. I bought this in a panic as I realized I was due in 6 weeks and hadn't signed up for a class yet! (I was due in Feb... holidays, new year.. it ate up a lot of weeks!)I ended up taking a class too. So here's the pro's and con's of each:DVD1) I liked being able to stop the DVD when I couldn't take any more of Sheri's annoying mannerisms.2) I felt much less like an idiot doing this in the privacy of my own living room than in a class with 30 other couples.3) I did like the breathing techniques she used and it was what I followed thoughout induced (pitocin) all-natural labor.CLASS1) The class I took was at the hospital where I delivered, so I got more detailed info on what it was like where I was planning to be.2) The woman who taught this class was much more entertaining and went into detail about breastfeeding for the first time, too.3) I know this is specific to the course I took, but there were relaxation techniques (not breathing) that were helpful.
