Product: Laugh and Learn About Childbirth - Lamaze and Beyond (2003)
Rating: 5.0
Very Pleased
I was a little worried about how annoying this might be for me based on the other reviews, but because it was recommended by a physician I tried it. I consider myself to have a relatively low threshold for annoying people, and particularly annoying people with Northern accents (being a Virginia girl, myself), but I have no problems watching this DVD.There are times when Sheri says something too loudly and the sound is distorted, but it is only a handful of times, and easily overlooked. She is certainly animated, but no more so than any other instructor I would expect to see teaching any kind of class like this. I thought I knew a lot about childbirth, because I've read the 'What to expect' book and 'Your pregnancy week by week', but I have learned a lot about labor, in addition to the breathing techniques. Also, I was very pleased that she does not discourage people from seeking an epidural, the way some Lamaze instructors do.I recommend it!
