5 Stars great for partners!
My husband is a lovely affectionate sort of person, but had virtually no instincts about how to make a person in pain feel better. Rocki’s video was perfect for us- it gave him concrete, hands-on suggestions, with easy to follow instructions. She suggested things I wouldn’t have thought of, or been able to explain half as well. It was highly recommended to me, and I am delighted with it. Better than birthing class!

4 Stars Good material, but short
This isn’t so much as a workout video as it is an instructional video. This is really a guide for how to accomplish workouts. I think there is decent material in this video for methods that can be used for easing the labor process, but I think that the video is a bit short. In fact, I see no reason that Volume 2 and 3 could not be on the same disc. For that reason, I can’t give this a higher rating. If this disc had been arranged in such a way that workout parts could be accomplished, then it would be fully worth it, but noting that all it does is explain the various positions and does not go through as a “workout video”, it falls short of its purpose.

5 Stars Fantastic!
I’ve told every one of my pregnant friends to get this DVD–it was SO helpful for my delivery. It really helped me focus on what worked for me and what didn’t. After practicing the positions, we knew when labor started that I liked this pose and not that one. When I started to freak out during labor, my hubby helped bring me back by suggesting a position. I love that it gets your husband involved in the labor process. (He has more to do that just hand you ice chips and say “good job!”) My husband really got into the exercises–he said it made him feel more of a partner than an assistant. Invaluable!

5 Stars Better than a Lamaze class
I got this DVD because I love Rocki’s Prenatal Yoga routine so much. I’m really glad I did. She has a ton of information about how movement and breathing affect the baby during labor and ways to get more comfortable. I’ve actually gotten my husband to do this with me and as corny as it sounds, it’s really given us some time to get closer. He now knows what I like and want during labor and I think we’ll work better together as a team. Thanks, Rocki.

5 Stars Unbelievably helpful!
We’d taken a Bradley class with my first baby and it didn’t do much for me. I got this for my second and what a huge difference! I used so many things she teaches on the DVD-breathing, different poses, movement. 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 next one in the series-Labor Prep 3.)

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!
