DVD Reviews of What Babies Want
DVD Review: Depressive, Deceptive, Dishonest, possibly anti hospital Hidden Agenda
Summary: 1 Stars
No stars, actually if I could I'd give 4 negative stars. This DVD is dangerous. I never write reviews, I am too busy, but this one is soo bad I feel I need to warn the "soon to be and new parents" (I had a baby just two months ago, so I know the feeling): This DVD is full of unscientifc fear mongering and deceptive untruths. Don't waste money on this DVD that will only make your new baby birth a negative fearfull event instead of being a challanging source of hope and joy. Don't take me wrong, a baby delivery is not a walk in the park, but the final reward is worth all the ups and downs and the result is a new life with a loud reason to hope.
There is no reason to be scared at all!
Specifically, about this DVD:
1. Deceptive: Facts are stated as if they were scientifc, when they are not at all. I wonder how many are real facts indeed!
2. Depressive: The basic idea is that a possible trauma during delivery would compromise the entire life of the baby, leading to violence and crime, dismmissing any possible effect of education and life experience. Anyone with a minimum of brain knows this is not true.
3. Dishonest: things are shown that are totally made up and will only scare you into beliving untruths.
4. Agenda: hospitals are accused of misbehavior and unprofessionalism without providing any prove. There is a clear political intent that is never clearley and honestly stated. I personally think hosptials could do a better job with moral support ... but that doesn't mean I will lie about what they do, just to get my point.
All the above said, here is my suggestion:
Buy or rent this DVD I linked here below instead, it's about taking care of the baby after he/she is born, which is way more important than knowing everything about the delivery, because during delivery you won't be alone anyway, instead after going home, you will feel alone (specially the new mom). So some pratical guidance is important: this one works like a charm!
The Happiest Baby on the Block: The New Way to Calm Crying and Help Your Newborn Baby Sleep Longer
Oh, if you plan to have a baby at a hospital (some people prefer home births), and you don't have a close female relative/friend who knows about having baby(ies) by direct experience and who is willing to be with you in the delivery room (your mom, your best friend), then get a doula.
Hospitals in the USA (the good ones at least) are your best bet for a baby delivery, but it's true that their staff is very busy, so they will have little time to give you continued moral support during the 24 hrs process from labor to actual baby delivery (they will explain you everything and assist you at any time but they won't be able to be with you in the room every single minute of the labor process (and even if it was so, you still are the one who has to do the "hard work" anyway ;-). They obvioulsy will be with you 300% when the delivery comes, yet I think that having someone with you at all time, specially if you are unexperienced and have no clue how the labor and delivery works, will help you a lot to keep your spirit up and relaxed, most of all will help the soon to be mom to stay as much as possible relaxed, which in turn will make the entire process easier (easier, not easy, but easier ;-). Good luck!
