Great information
My husband and I both gained the knowledge we were looking for through this video. It was comprehensive, and enjoyable to watch. I liked the group setting in the dvd, seeing that the couple's shared questions and concerns I also had...which were answered. This is a great video and I definitely recommend it to fellow preggers :)

Missing Important Content .
I am a labor and birth Doula I purchased a video for my clients it couldn’t take childbirth classes so they could personally watch it in preparation of the birth .The video was ok, except the last 2 topics of study were missing .. It kept saying skipping over defective disc.

Excellent birth resource
This childbirth education video is an excellent birth resource that is easy to relate to and enjoy. The filming is high quality, the educator entertaining and knowledgeable. The DVD series offers the opportunity to watch the whole film as if you were sitting through a childbirth education class or choose from a number of educational topics - all in the comfort of your own home.

This is an excellent resource, I wish it were more widely known in the US. It is a welcome alternative to hospital-led prenatal classes, which sometimes focus too much on procedures & interventions and too little on providing emotional support/ healthy alternatives for the expecting parents, in particular for the mother. This DVD provides a lot of useful advice on recovery during postpartum, and hints on how to emotionally adapt to life with a new baby.Also, there is an edifying post-natal component ,which is often missing from regular prenatal classes in the US.

Meets Every Need
Whether you need a great childbirth class from start to finish or just a review and refresher, whether you want the flexibility of a class in your own space on your own time or arrange popcorn viewing parties with pregnant friends, whether you are planning to birth at home or in a birth center or in a hospital, Birthwise meets your needs. The facilitator is an entertaining and gifted teacher. The format is well-organized. The cross-cultural dimension (UK) is part of its strength and charm. I recommend this dvd to all my pregnant clients, even seasoned parents and parents enrolled in local classes.

For any expectant parent
This was recommended to us by my midwife, and as a doula i recommend it to all my clients and friends. It does a wonderful job of covering various aspects of birth but in the comfort of your home.
