Description
From prenatal testing through colic, this comprehensive video guide ushers viewers through the same territory as its namesake book. Divided into four parts (one for each trimester and a section on baby's first three months), this three-hour, two-disc set animates Wendy, the anxious cartoon mom-to-be, and uses real patients of the book's physician authors to illustrate the various aspects of pregnancy and birth. While separating serious concerns with "Call the doctor" icons, it also includes playful bits like a list of old wives' tales and a game-show format in which Wendy is quizzed on when labor has really begun. From the mundane of shopping for baby things to the profound concerns of birth defects, gestational diabetes, and postpartum depression, almost all aspects of the process are touched upon. The last section takes parents and baby from the Apgar score through a step-by-step guide to changing diapers. Although a terrific overview, this set still can't provide the more specific information of a book. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Truly is for dummies
This DVD set truly is for dummies. It moves at a very slow pace, and gives the most basic information that you could just read in a concise pregnancy book in 1/5th the time. Worse than that, it shows the births of three women, and not one of them had a natural birth! All of them had epidurals- one ending up with forceps (as a result of the epidural, no doubt), and the other ending up with a c-section. So it gives you absolutely no demonstration of how to use relaxation, positions, breathing to make labor easier; and it doesn't teach anything about how transition between 1st and 2nd stage labor is the hardest part where you feel like giving up and getting drugs but it only lasts for ten minutes. This DVD gives a woman no options- only to be drugged up! It was a truly sad representation of birth. Where can you get a pregnancy DVD that is neither overly-medical nor overly-new-agey? Why are people so polarized in this country? Are there no thinkers who can take the best of both worlds and use a variety of strategies to make for a wonderful birth?

Fun!
I thought this video was super cute and I think a few of the negative reviews are being too harsh. It is corky and not a perfect video but it's supposed to be educational with a funny twist. Noone out there expecting should just depend on just one source for information. If you want to laugh and smile and still learn a lot about pregnancy period...than get it! It's worth. Although, it doesn't serve much purpose after the baby because there's really no information on how to take care your baby for years to come. This is strictly a pregnancy tape. Enjoy.
