Very informative and convenient–but annoying at times This DVD is divided into 6 classes, just as a regular, live prenatal course would be. The classes are1. Anatomy and Preliminary Signs of Labor (31:45)2. Three Actual Signs of Labor and Two Breathing Techniques (57:50)3. Labor and Delivery (49:25)4. Pushing and Third Breathing Technique (49:25)5. Medications Used in Labor, Induction, Forceps, Vacuum, and Monitoring (56:50)6. Cesarean Delivery, Post-op C/S, and Postpartum Vaginal Delivery (40:50)As a physician, I recommend it. I purchased this because my husband and I had way too much going on (moving, new jobs, etc.) during this pregnancy, and could not find a class that fit our schedule.Sheri Bayles is extremely informative and experienced. She explains everything clearly and with good diagrams and props. She is very organized. She seems friendly.CONS:–Sheri has annoying mannerisms and really wants you to think she’s a comedienne. If you can overcome this, you will learn a LOT from her.–The set is really far from being aesthetically pleasing.–Most of the moms don’t look like they’re REALLY participating; not great models for you. They also look like they stepped out of the 1980s, even though this was filmed in the 21st century.The cons are small, though. This is very informative, if you can get past the annoying mannerisms and overall lack of prettiness to this video.I liked having the classes laid out as a “real” class would have been. Sheri does a good job of making one class relevant to the next. I also enjoyed the convenience of this DVD; my husband and I were able to take this to work and play it on our computers, then watch it at home together, then review one final time, something you don’t get to do if you take a live class.So…I give it 5 stars for information, organization, and memorable delivery. I only gave it 4 stars overall because of the ugly-to-look-at-ness and the sometimes annoying qualities of the teacher. The information that lies therein is very, very high-quality. I’d buy this DVD again despite its minor shortcomings.
The BEST Very Informative and Helpful. My wife and I could not make it to the Lamaze classes and we still glad we didn’t. This video is great. My wife and I enjoy watching it, and learned a lot. The baby came out like a piece of cake (my wife doesn’t agree on that one completely) but we both knew what we where doing)We read the reviews that mostly criticized Sheri’s sense of humor but we took a chance. Her humor is not that bad actually. She gets funny and sometimes goes a bit over the edge, however she is very knowledgeable and definitely has a talent of teaching. When she is describing important stuff she is serious and right on the point.Some reviews criticized the quality of film making. I am professional photographer and my wife is an art teacher and we both studied film in college. In our opinion the cinematography part of the video is quite appropriate, informative video doesn’t have to be a master piece.Highly recommend it.
