Great Expectations - Laugh and Learn About Childbirth

Rating:
Summary: Wonderful Lamaze & Childbirth Video!!
Review: As a first time expectant mother, I found this dvd was great and very informative. It is broken down into 6 sections for a total of about 4 1/2 hours. The childbirth educator is also very funny and gives a lot of funny stories about pregnancy and childbirth. Buy it today!!!

Summary: Great learning tool....
Review: For those of you that don't or can't go to a traditional class, I think you will find this video/DVD very helpful. My husband and I like it because we can watch one segment at a time. If we feel we miss something or don't understand something, we simply replay that portion. We ordered this video when I was about 28 weeks into my pregnancy. I would recommend this to others so that you have time to ask your doctors all the questions that you can't ask the DVD.

Summary: I only give it 4 as the sound quality was bad
Review: I don't know if it was just the DVD I got, but the sound quality was pretty bad on spots. May be because all 5 sections were squeezed onto one disc? That is my only complaint. It is very informative and we have watched it through once and will break it down into sections over the next couple of months. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who doesn't have time to get to a class. Again, my only complaint is sound quality.

Summary: Great Expectations was wonderful
Review: I found this very helpful when I was expecting my first child. I also gave it as a gift to my brother and his wife who both loved the advice and instruction. I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about this.

Summary: Disappointed
Review: I ordered this video because we are living overseas and couldn't find a live class in English. I'm giving it 2 stars because it's better than nothing, but I wouldn't recommend it otherwise. The production quality is quite low - the volume fluctuates and there are are very few visuals. It's just a film of the instructor talking to about five couples on a bare stage. Both my husband and I found the instructor annoying, especially her whiny impressions of women in labor. Putting together a DVD class is a great idea but could have been done much better, especially considering the price.

Summary: She gets funny, annoying... but you learn in the end.
Review: I read other reviews before buying this DVD and I was aware of what to expect. I think you will learn from this DVD everything you need to know for labor. Husbands can also have fun with this video. If you dont mind the jokes and silly faces she makes then buy it. The best part is that you can re play the video again and again.

Summary: Great Expectations Delivers!
Review: LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this DVD! We watched this DVD a couple of weeks before our delivery and are so glad that we did. These classes had us so well prepared that when things in the delivery room didn't go exactly according to plan,we understood what was happening and knew how to deal with it. The tools Sheri Bayles gave us allowed us to have the birth experience everyone hopes for!

Summary: Wonderful class from the comfort of your own home
Review: My husband and I both work full time and go to school at night...this DVD allowed us to manage the childbirth education around our lives, not the other way around. I feel very comfortable with the information presented. I highly recommend to others.

Summary: Loved this DVD!
Review: My wife and I didn't have the time to take a class, due to our crazy schedules. Half the time we are lucky to be in the same city.

Sheri Bayles is a genius. She has figured out a way to make the material funny and memorable. Even though my wife and I weren't in the same city, we were on the same page!
