So Far...not so good
My husband and I are half way through the program, and we are dreading watching the rest. Yes, it is true that this might be more convienient and cheaper than the child birth classes (which is why we got the DVD), but it does have it's drawbacks.My first concern- all of the couples do not represent different age groups. It seems that all of them are in their late 30's or 40's, which doesn't represent a true range of people that would be at the class. I am 27 years old, and would love to see some couples that my husband and I can relate to. I know there are several pregnant women my age (or younger), so they should have a mixed group...I know that it was taped somewhat recently also, so that surprises me with the choice of couples. Why also are some of them seperated from each other? For some reason, that really bothers me!Yes...Sheri can be very annoying at times. My husband and I get very frustrated at her imitations of pregnant women. I keep telling my husband, please don't let me sound like that when I am having our baby. I was expecting a lot more visuals, instead of just a taping of a class with poster board. Maybe I was misled by the explanation or the title. I was suprised to see it like a classroom set up, with no other visual aides other than the ones she holds up.Although there are several annoyances of the video, I am learning some informative tips, and pertinent information. I still am glad I chose not to go to a class, just so it can be a little bit more personal and laid back with just the two of us.
