DVD Reviews of Having Your Baby! A Complete Lamaze Prepared Childbirth Class

DVD Review: Very helpful and informative for childbirth prep
Summary: 4 Stars

We purchased this video because we were unable to locate a local lamaze class. Our childbirth class did not go into great detail on specific techniques for breathing/relaxation during labor. This DVD, although filmed a while back, was very helpful in instructing us in how to adequately prepare and practice for our new little one's arrival.

DVD Review: Complete indeed - what a relief !
Summary: 5 Stars

Not only does this video provide very clearly explained tools for effective pain management, but it also provides TONS of useful information to demystify the childbirth process. It clearly explains the pros and cons of peridurals, of induction, of episiotomies, and cesarean births and does not just give info on natural births when all goes well.
Both instructors are confident, pleasant, and obviously draw on years of real hands-on experience. I highly recommend this video for all future parents. Complete info that puts one at ease !

DVD Review: Outdated, terrible picture, just BAD
Summary: 1 Stars

Luckily I did not purchase this product but borrowed it from my local library. I was immediately confused because the cover looks relatively recent, but it's obvious from watching it that it was filmed during the height of VHS, perhaps in the 80's. It's such bad quality that it's distracting, and I couldn't bear to watch for more than 10 minutes. It may be informative, but I don't know because I couldn't get past the outdated props and poor quality of the film. Save your money to buy something more up to date.

DVD Review: seems to be a good title
Summary: 4 Stars

i gifted it to my pregnant aunt and she luved it. So i guess, this a very good product.

DVD Review: Definitely dated
Summary: 3 Stars

I got this because I couldn't find any Lamaze classes in my area and this was the only DVD I could find. Even so, it's quite dated (80s, I think), so that was a turn off at first, especially for my husband who was already was skeptical of "that schmarmy crap". I was hoping for something a bit more engaging.

Description of Having Your Baby! A Complete Lamaze Prepared Childbirth Class

If you can't attend childbirth class, this video/dvd will bring the class home to you. "Having Your Baby!" is the only complete, step-by-step instructional video on Lamaze Prepared Childbirth available today that is taught by two nationally recognized, licensed medical professionals who are obstetrical RNs and Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educators. Recently redone and updated in 2001, "Having Your Baby ! " combines the best of an old fashioned Lamaze class with the latest in medical information and computer technology.

Now on DVD, all breathing techniques are conveniently condensed into one chapter for easy reference.

Don't be fooled by imitations, substitutions, or copies!

Unlike other videos which have an instructor talking to a home video camera, professionally produced " Having Your Baby!" takes you directly from the classroom into the hospital, labor room and birthing room, allowing you to see, first-hand, discreet footage of obstetrical procedures, epidurals, labor, vaginal and Cesarean births and much more!

Spectacular 3-dimensional animation helps you understand exactly what is happening during labor and birth; other videos show an instructor pointing to a vague diagram that is impossible to see or understand.

" Having Your Baby!" is highly recommended by leading medical professionals and childbirth educators worldwide.

Parents-to-be who are interested in the Lamaze method but can't attend a class will be happy to know they can learn it from this two-hour video. Taught by two certified instructors who are OB nurses, this is the only video course that teaches the complete method. Lamaze seeks to reduce pain through relaxation achieved by massage, focus, and a series of breathing techniques. The instructors share an easy rapport, demonstrating the exercises on each other before a roomful of couples and thoroughly explaining the purpose of labor, how to know when it begins, and its three stages. They describe medications and birth complications and include footage of both a natural Lamaze childbirth and a Caesarian delivery. While this tape was clearly shot in the 1980s (the hair styles and fashions are amusingly outdated), it does have new computer-generated diagrams, and the medical information seems up to date. The Lamaze technique itself has not altered, of course, and this tape remains the gold standard in that department. --Kimberly Heinrichs
