Natural Birth

Childbirth DVD's

I'm running out of time for taking a childbirth class, and also have scheduleing issues between my 2 jobs and DH's 1. I've been looking into several DVD sets on Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/Laugh-Learn-About-Childbirth-Bayles/dp/B000PLXFSS/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1339777761&sr=8-3&keywords=lamaze+dvd

https://www.amazon.com/Laugh-Learn-About-Childbirth-Lamaze/dp/B0000DK2ZW/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1339777761&sr=8-4&keywords=lamaze+dvd

Do you think 1 of these will be sufficient, or would you suggest seeing if there is some kind of rush lamaze course that can be offered? TIA

Re: Childbirth DVD's

  • You watch the first lesson online:

     https://laughandlearn.com/home

     

     I borrowed a copy of the 2003 version of Laugh and Learn from my local library. 

    There were parts I liked and parts I didn't.  (I didn't like that she advise resisting the urge to push until you are told you can push. )

    In addition to Laugh and Learn you can find some childbirth education videos on ChildbirthMedia channel page on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/ChildBirthMedia

    These are old childbirth education movies, (Hello Baby 1989 and Works of Wonder 2000). The movies show natural births, medicated births, and C-section.

  • Laugh and Learn about childbirth was better than my hospital class at preparing me for labor. My DH and I had both watched it before taking the hospital class and we agreed that it was better. I highly recommend it.
  • Thanks for the info ladies! :) I appreciate it!

  • I remembered the other one we liked even more than L&L was "the Best Birth." That was was really helpful too. Don't know if it's too late. :)
