This Birth DVD is very easy for me review as it was something I watched whilst I was pregnant and still today remember the impact it had on me. I have also played it in every antenatal class and one to one session I have run since.
Rather than lots of footage of individual births, this DVD shows the full journey of a pregnant mum going from experiencing light surges/contractions to delivering the baby. You will see how labor progresses and as there is also a running commentary from the mum, so you will know how it feels for her too. You will see how visualizations made a real difference to how she was feeling and the wonderful impact her husband had on her birth experience.
As mum is a midwife she also recognizes the impact she has on peoples birth experiences and this comes across well in the DVD. She explains well how a woman already knows how to give birth, that it is within her. She also beautifully describes how it feels to be a midwife “seeing mothers being born as mothers and fathers born as fathers”.
If there is only one Birth DVD you watch before your birth, I would absolutely recommend this one (and have a box of tissues handy if your hormones are haywire).
