Pregnancy for Dummies

Summary: Literally for dummies
Review: Don't waste your money on this series. If you are really interested, get it from your library instead. You won't want to watch it more than once, if that. It tries to be cute but ends up being tedious and dumbed down. Most of the info contained in the videos is obvious and they take waaay too long to say it. You could learn much more from a couple of good texts.

Summary: Very good overview of pregnancy and childbirth
Review: I find this DVD a valuable resource for expectant parents. It covers all the basics plus many practical issues not included in traditional childbirth preparation classes. The section about life at home with a new baby and adjustment to parenthood is excellent. It can be too cute at times in the cartoon segments, so concentrate on the message instead of the messenger.

Review: I saw these excellent videos on a television special and loved what and how they taught me. Questions were answered that I wouldn't have know to ask. They use humor very well and make each series extremely enjoyable to learn from and watch. I purchased the tapes for a friend of mine who is pregnant for the first time. ALL FATHERS TO BE, MUST WATCH THIS TOO!

Summary: A must have comprehensive quide
Review: I was fortunate enough to see a prmotional version of this program and cannot stress enough what a wonderfully comprehensive, entertainingly produced series it is. Following several couples through their pregnancies, the program's volumes are based on the 3 trimesters, with the fourth episode dealing with the first few months at home with your newborn. Based on the book of the same name (by the same highly qualified doctors), this video series, coupled with the book, is a fantastic way to familiarize yourself with all that you need to during a pregnancy. The enormous information is presented in chronological order to your pregnancy, and most of any questions you may have are answered before you even realize you have them. The DVD is a two disk set, but there's a VHS version (4 cassettes) also being made available. As a two-time parent, I can only say that this series is a must for all first timers, as well as a fantastic refresher course for all repeaters.

Summary: Simply Brilliant!!!
Review: My brother and his wife are expecting for the first time, so I thought it would be nice to send them this DVD collection. I don't have any children, but (after waching the DVD's first) I thought the entire series was AMAZING!! The mothers-to-be, fathers-to-be, doctors and "Wendy" were all extremely helpful in describing what happens during the 1st, 2nd, 3rd trimesters, the actual childbirth process & the first three months after childbirth. A "must-see" for all expecting mothers and fathers!!

Review: My husband and I watched these DVDs at the beginning of my pregnancy and enjoyed them very much. I had been doing lots of reading so I knew most of the information but my husband felt like it gave a good overview of the crucial information you need to know. It is also presented in a clear and relaxed manner.
