Product: Laugh and Learn About Childbirth - Lamaze and Beyond (2003)
Rating: 5.0
Entertaining and informative
My husband and I were told by many friends to skip the lamaze classes because they are a waste of time. We were told that the nurses and doctors would tell us what to do when the time comes. We wanted to have some understanding of what to expect during the labor and delivery, so we opted to buy this video. I am so happy that we did. The video does not explain what we should do, rather it gives a preview of what to expect.Sheri has a goofy way of giving expamples, but my husband and I were greatful that she was not a robot in explaining so much information. The video is a little over 4 hours long, and we were highly entertained so it only took us 2 days to watch it. Sheri repeats the information to help with understanding, and the class asked questions which we were thinking about.We were also happy that she did not add any real births since we can watch that on the Discovery Channel. The video is well made and wonderfully informative. I am still nervous about childbirth, but it's not from a lack of what to expect. My husband enjoyed this video and the breastfeeding video by Sheri so much that he asked me to purchase her entire series. This from a man who waited 3 weeks to watch the video with me because he wasn't all that interested. Now he feels prepared and ready to assist me when our baby is born.
