This DVD is so comprehensive with all the topics it covers. The information is up to date and after watching it I felt really empowered having learnt so much. What’s that saying!?! Knowledge is power!
I have recently attended antenatal classes in a public hospital and in my opinion this DVD is far more thorough in its information, topics and ideas.
After watching this DVD I felt really excited and actually looking forward to my impending birth. Previously I felt really scared a nervous. Watching Lisa’s birth was beautiful and moving, I got all teary when her daughter was born.
I highly recommend this DVD for expectant mothers and fathers. It really takes the mystery and fear out of childbirth.

DVD 2 : Making Sense of your Birth
Your complete guide to how your body will labour and strategies for your partner to help during your vaginal or caesarian birth.
Birth Education Video Series
Birth Process - Vaginal birth
Leanne, Childbirth Educator, takes us through the birth process - the 3 stages of labour, and introduces strategies for you and your support people to use throughout your birth.
Many experts assist in describing how focus and relaxation help through your labour. 
You also have the opportunity to practice positions for labour and birth- in the privacy of your own home!
Skin sensations, breathing and massage have long been used as a form of pain relief for the labouring woman. See what the experts (massage therapist, yoga instructor, breathing specialist, midwives) have to say about how to use various strategies to help you achieve the birth experience that you want.
There is a special segment by our Doula, Susan, just for support people- with some hands-on tools for assisting your labouring partner to birth.
Chemical methods of pain relief (drugs!) are also discussed, as well as describing what happens if interventions such as an induction of labour occur.
Lisa shares her birth plan and we watch her beautiful natural active labour and birth in a hospital setting.
Caesarian (Cesarian) Birth
(also known as "C-section" or C/S)
Midwife, Carolina discusses what to expect if you have a caesarian birth. Don't worry- it's not scary! We have used beautiful photographs to show you what might happen to you if you have a C/S.
One of our mothers, Amanda talks about her experience when she got to breastfeed her 3rd baby on the operating table, and how different that experience was from her previous Cesarian births.
Our physiotherapist, Liz will then talk about what precautions you may need to think about after your caesarian.
After your birth
No matter what type of birth you have, we have included some segments for everybody to think about:
There is a special segment by NSW Midwife of the year, Carolyn on what to expect from your 'just born' baby, and what they need from you.
Leanne (Lactation Consultant) gives some more information on breastfeeding, in particular the importance of that first breastfeed (information follows on from DVD 1).
Our GP, Saroja also talks with us about what to expect from your 6-week postnatal check up.
Physiotherapist, Liz discusses your pelvic floor, and exercises to help you return to normal after a caesarian or a natural birth.
