Summary: Must have for expectant moms and dads.
Comment: This DVD is perfect for expecting mothers and fathers. It tells you everything you need to know about child birth. Fathers will find it interesting too. I felt a lot more prepared and confident about having a baby after watching it.

Summary: Laugh and Learn
Comment: When my husband saw the first five minutes when they were introducing the couples that would be in the show, he thought the whole video set was going to be a waste of money. We continued to watch it and actually learned a ton of information in the video. He actually watched it twice because it was so informative. I was able to have the baby naturally it was a super awesome experience. This video helped in the decision to try to not have drugs for the delivery.

Summary: Tis Great
Comment: It's a very informative DVD, just as if your'e sitting in Sheri's class. I took notes while watching it so as not to forget some important tips and facts. The organization and humor make it a GREAT DVD!!!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Realistic and helpful - like being in class.
Comment: Sheri Bayles' DVD series is informative and realistic. We found it essential because we elected not to pay for classes at the hospital. This was much more at our own pace, and at our liesure. And we can review them as often as we wish. The series has a cable-access production value to it, but do not let that dissuade you. The focus is on INFORMATION, NOT on the backlighting and camera angles. You are in class basically, and your focus is on the instructor. It works well without a lot of fluff.
Sheri is very NY/NJ, but she didn't annoy me, and I'm from Texas!! This kind of information needs to be presented and disseminated in a very matter-of-fact way and she succeeds. She is a talker, which is perfectly suited to her line of work, and for this DVD series. She makes no pretense of being a comedienne, but allows her natural personality to show often, with some hits and some misses, but no big deal. She is very demonstrative. And DOING always beats telling when it comes to educating, so to me that was a plus. We were never bored or offended in any way.
I can't think of any questions we had which were not answered in this series, especially in regard to pain, signs of labor, labor progression, what to expect from doctors and hospital staff, and all of the normal and mundane things in between that we all angst about leading up to the big day. And her studio class question-and-answer interactions were helpful too, although not a big part of the whole presentation.
Any personal views expressed were always balanced and qualified in my opinion, and based on her past experiences. I never felt preached to, or like an unwitting victim of an infomercial. We got it. However; all new parents should always educate themselves on any subject matter they are unsure about, and strive to make informed decisions on their own.
All in all, these DVD's were a great tutor for our first childbirth experience, and I readily recommend them.

Summary: Laugh and Learn - Excellent
Comment: If you prefer to be at home instead of spending 8-10 hours at a hospital or a classroom for a Lamaze class, this is the video to get. You feel like you are in the class. Instead, you are in your pajamas if you want. You can rewind if you miss something...fast forward if you know it already...you can watch the video as many times as you want so everything sinks in. The speaker is clear, funny and easy to understand. Very educational video...I recommend it highly. It was convenient. I reviewed the material with friends that have gone to other classes in person and all of the material was the same plus some other material they hadn't gone over. Definitely worth it. Speaker is big on natural births...so if are biased, you may be uncomfortable with that...my only 'con' for those that are into scheduled c-sections...
