SO incredibly outdated!!!!
I am glad that I didn't purchase this DVD. It was the only childbirth DVD available in my local library and I thought that since the publication date was listed as 1993 that it couldn't be that bad. But when I started seeing hairstyles from the 1970's, I knew that I'd been misled.

Please DO NOT WASTE A DIME on this DVD! Honestly, this DVD should either be updated or just completely pulled from the shelves. Many of the practices shown here are totally outdated from delivery in an operating room (like seriously, do hospitals still do that?) to VBAC births. And if you're interested in natural childbirth, you'll get a kick out of what the good Dr. Tyson had to say. (Honestly, I wonder if the guy is even still delivering babies!)

DO NOT GET THIS TRASH!!!!

AGREE - VERY OUTDATED
OMG is this thing outdated! Can't believe I wasted my hardearned $$. Save yours and do not buy this! Amazon - do your customers a favor and take this off the shelf.

That 70s childbirth!
This childbirth video was probably very good when it was made but it is old and out-dated. Not helpful at all.

Very Out of Date
I borrowed this video from my local public library. I'm very glad I didn't purchase it. Although it is a DVD, it looks to have been filmed around 1980, based on the fashions of the participants and the outdated methods and information. Honestly, I got the impression the baby born in the video is probably the same age as me now. Anyway, the hospital procedures shown in the video are completely out of date. The woman giving birth in the video, who has a perfectly normal, unmedicated childbirth, is actually shaved, given an enema, labors in a sterile tiled room, has a fetal monitor implanted in the baby's scalp, is surgically draped and coated with antiseptic solution. The doctor and her husband both wear full scrubs, hats, and masks. She labors and gives birth entirely in the bed, without being able to use different positions at all. Later in the video, a woman asks the "expert" guy about homebirth, and he gave her a very discouraging opinion about it. Heck, I sure would have wanted a homebirth too, if that was how my hospital birth was going to go! The lady who had the baby in the video sure would have had a better time of it! I definitely would not recommend this video unless you wanted to get a historical perspective on childbirth methods and be very glad about how far we have come since those days.

Take a small childbirth class instead
A great idea, but not a replacement for a good, small childbirth class where you can meet other parents and interact with the instructor.
