Very informative childborth dvd
My boyfriend and I got this DVD as we were unable to attend childbirthing classes and wanted some information beforehand. I would definitely recommend this DVD as it is very informative (albeit sometimes corny.) I had planned on aiming for a natural childbirth, but had not ruled out an epidural since this was my first child. The DVD covered a wide range of information so that even though my baby's birth did not go as planned (labor had to be induced due to baby being overdue, after 12 hours of labor I had not progressed much and so got an epidural, after 20 hours the doctors decided I needed to have a C-section, the baby was 9 lbs 5 oz and his head was too large to be delivered normally,) I felt more calm because of being informed on all of the different aspects of labor, epidurals, and both types of delivery (so make sure to pay attention to everything on the DVD, even if you don't think it will apply to you, I was glad I did because I had not planned on having a C-section.)
