Leanne Cummins - a midwife, mother and childbirth educator - has assembled a team of 26 professionals from around Australia to make this highly informative 3-DVD series of pre-natal/birth education classes for use in the comfort of your own home and in your own time. An informal approach will make you feel as though you have the experts right with you, to revisit again and again.
One of the best things is that you don't have to worry about forgetting anything taught in classes or missing what's been said - because you can do them over and over again with the help of your remote control!

DVD 2 - Making Sense of Birth - 90mins
Examines both vaginal and caesarean birth, and gives strategies for you and your support people to discuss and use through this time.
DVD 3 - Making Sense of Baby - 100mins
Learn about adjusting to life at home with a new baby. Early childhood nurses explain what is 'normal' for a newborn, and we talk to new parents (and a grandparent) about their experiences.
