Great preparation at your own pace
Although childbirth classes were available in our relatively rural community, we were unable to attend due to work commitments. We were very happy with this DVD. Sheri is a well informed instructor who presented material in an accessible format and even managed to keep us entertained with a little humor. One wonderful aspect about the DVD is that you are able to advance at your own pace - Watch the DVD in one day or take a 'class' a week, whatever works with your schedule. Two components offered at local childbirth classes and unavailable on the DVD were breastfeeding techniques and a tour of the local hospital. Hospitals should be accomodating about arranging visits and there are plenty of breastfeeding resources available (books, videos, La leche leagues, and lactation counselors). I would definitely recommend this DVD to others.
