I feel less intimidated
This DVD really made me feel less intimidated of the birthing process. Sheri explains all of the terminology, anatomy, and steps of delivery. I know I will be able to keep up with my doctor when she is explaining things like "effacement" and drugs like "pitocin." I also feel empowered by understanding that I have options in delivery. I feel the DVD is very honest about the pros and cons of the different interventions and drugs. The DVD is a recording of a live class, so it was helpful to hear other couples ask some of the questions that had been bugging me like, what is the difference in a baby's energy if they are born naturally, with an epidural, or after a cesarean?I would really recommend this video to any first time moms that feel overwhelmed with all of the information in baby books, magazines, and websites.
