5 Stars Husband loved this
My husband and I are very pleased with this volume as well as Labor Prep Vol 2 and Rocki’s Prenatal Yoga Vol 1. We wanted a non-medicated birth with our first child and this video helped both of us prepare for that as confidentally as we could. My husband especially liked how involved and hands on he could be. I loved the relaxation technigues and poses.

5 Stars Great additon to my pregnancy collection
Great for any expectant mother and her labor coach (whether husband, relative, doula, or other close friend) . Not an “exercise” DVD in the sense of physical workouts, but instead is poses and practice techniques to use in labor and birth, especially if you have a goal for a natural birth. My hubby and I will be using this weekly during my final trimester as we gear up for the birth of our second son. I like Rocki’s straight forward manner, clear demonstrations, and her explanation of the purpose for each one.

4 Stars Decent…but short.
I think my review of this video is the same as Volume 2. I think the material in this video is good, as it does a really good job as an “instructional” video, but it is not a “workout” video. Additionally, seeing as it does not go through the paces of doing the typical workout, but only goes through the instructional parts of it, then it makes this video extremely short. I find this odd because volume 1 is really fast paced, and does not give you much time to be instructed, but of course on volume 1, once you pick it up, it becomes a good paced workout video. However, volume 2 and 3 should really be on the same disk due to the short running times. Again, the material is really good, but it needs more material on the media

5 Stars Great information!
We’d taken a Bradley class with my first baby and it didn’t do much for me. I got Labor Prep 2 and this one for my second and what a huge difference! I used so many things she teaches on the DVD-breathing, different poses, movement, acupressure. The last hour before I started pushing was me moving my hips with my husband massaging my back-and I’m convinced that’s why it only took 2 pushes for my son to be born. Rocki really seems to know alot about childbirth and her techniques helped me immeasurably. Great DVD. (I feel the same way about the previous one in the series-Labor Prep 2.)

5 Stars Fantastic Video
I love this video. It is something that I don’t mind doing everyday. I haven’t gotten sick of it yet. I feel like it is working the muscles that need to be worked and stretches what needs to be stretched. It gets my heart rate up and sometimes I break a light sweat. The instructor is great. It is also very easy to modify the workout to your comfort level, or pregnancy stage. I’d recommend this video highly to any pregnant woman.

5 Stars Buffs Moms Workout DVD
I ordered Buffs Mom’s to Be at the end of my first trimester and it has been great! I have had a very sick pregnancy, with severe vomiting and nausea, but couldn’t stand not working out as I have always been an active person. I think that this workout is terrific to get some weight training in. A person might want to walk in addition to keep your heart rate up on the days you don’t do the dvd or even on days you do depending on your fitness level. Overall though, I think that this dvd is very, very helpful and simple to do compared to some! :0)

5 Stars Great DVD for Preggos who want to stay in shape!
I was a gym rat before I got pregnant. My obsession is lifting weights. Earlier this year I had a miscarriage (WHICH HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH MY WORKING OUT) so when we successfully got pregnant again, my hubby forbade me to go to the gym and lift. I explained that working out during pregnancy is healthy, my midwife allowed it, yada yada…but he wasn’t and still isn’t trying to hear it.

So, I ordered this DVD to show him that it is OK to be preggers and lift weights. Well, let me tell ya, this DVD gave me a great cardio & strength training workout. The plank/leg work is awesome.

Even hubby gives it the thumbs up. He calls it the “Baby Got Back” video. LOL!

3 Stars Just ok
To me, this workout is just ok. I haven’t been working out for the first four month of my pregnancy, because I had problems with bleeding, but my doctor finally gave me the ok to exercise again. I shopped around for a pregnancy workout DVD, and I ended up buying this one and “The Perfect Pregnancy Workout” based on the good reviews for both. I hate those workout DVD’s that make you follow silly dance steps and have an overly perky instructor. I was looking for something to sculpt and tone my muscles all over. Well, I tried this DVD today, and I was not blown away. It starts with a warm up section called “Jump Start Stretching” which is not too bad. Then, it moves into the “Cardio Breeze and Total Body Toning” segment. That’s where the problems started. Silly dance moves and perky comments from the instructor! Just what I hate. Also, even though I worked up a sweat, I really didn’t feel like my muscles were getting toned at all. And, I felt really silly hopping around in my front room and was hoping the neighbors weren’t looking in. The workout closes with the “Re-energizing Floor Work and Flexibility.” This section wasn’t too bad. One good thing about this DVD is the background looks very inviting and cheerful. I also liked that they had two girls showing the modifications for the second and third trimester, although the girl doing the third trimester modifications doesn’t really move a lot and seems slightly uncoordinated at times. I really have mixed feelings about this workout. I might go back to it very late in my third trimester, when I need a more modified workout. For now, I will continue to use “The Perfect Pregnancy Workout” which is great.

4 Stars My “Easy” Pregnancy Workout
I like this DVD for the first trimester, because it was easy. Sometimes though, it was too easy. I think I would do this one on my lazy days, just to say I worked out. It was low impact, and enjoyable. There is one flaw that I only noticed once I was in my third trimester– the third trimester “variations” are really just not doing the exercise being performed. The model is seen just walking in place or barely doing anything as her “variation” and personally, I could do all the moves even through the third trimester with ease.
