I had my daughter premature at 32 1/2 weeks and my DVD arrived the week she was born so I had no opportunity to watch it prior to birth. I still think though, that it is a fantastic DVD with so much information that has helped me make sense of my birth experience and what I am going through now.
I was very lucky in the sense that I had a very quick labour and my baby, although she was in the special baby unit for 2 1/2 weeks, was well and breathing for herself. She took to breast feeding well and started putting weight on quickly, hence why we were allowed to bring her home sooner than we had expected. I did however, feel detached from the whole experience as I had not had time to prepare myself mentally for the birth. Birthwise has helped me deal with and helped me be able to look back and "enjoy" the experience as a special time.
I will recommend your DVD to anyone I know who is pregnant, first time or not, as it has invaluable information that I do not feel would be available elsewhere. Shelley
I think its one of the best educational DVD'S I’ve seen yet with a midwife. Congratulations. Caroline is what I hope all midwifes are and should be like; warm, friendly, and easy to approach with questions. This DVD certainly will empower any mum or dad-to-be who watches it. Too often I hear parents be disheartened after antenatal classes. This is a must to watch. As a Birthlight Pre-natal & Post-natal pregnancy yoga teacher and a Doula this is one DVD for everyone to watch. Miriam Fox, Yoga Fox Studio
Every expectant couple should have a copy of the Birthwise DVD. Nowhere else can you get such advice from some of the worlds foremost pregnancy, birth and parenting experts. To have this information in such an easy to watch format is an amazing achievement and one that I know will make a difference to so many women who will benefit tremendously from the pearls of wisdom this DVD imparts.

 “I felt totally empowered and reassured about the process of giving birth after watching Birthwise. Because everything was explained clearly, especially about pain, I knew I could handle it. I kept hearing Caroline’s words in my head throughout labour and it gave me confidence. Caroline’s advice to stay in bed for 10 days is wonderful – it gave me permission to let myself stay in bed which then helped me to heal quickly and to establish breastfeeding. If you can give yourself the support of watching Birthwise, I would recommend it.” Rebecca Collins, mother to Cameron
“Birthwise really helped me to prepare for how it would be once the baby is born. It help me to set expectations and in the end really did prepare me. It was reassuring to watch and as a father it was great to hear other fathers and to learn everything – it is not just for women. Birthwise also helped us to get clear about key decisions such as breast feeding. Caroline is awesome, caring and you feel you can trust your life with her.” David Collins, father to Cameron
“The Birthwise DVD set is FANTASTIC and oh so valuable! "An antenatal education in a box". In the DVD Caroline Flint presents clear and concise information about pregnancy and birth that all parents need, filmed in a small class setting. However, almost more importantly, her manner, heart and soul come through and instill a confidence in the naturalness of birth that is so important for mothers to have when coming in to this important time. Fathers too will welcome the opportunity to build up their trust in the birth process by engaging with the information presented, perhaps even more than once.” Patrick M. Houser, co-founder Fathers-To-Be, author Fathers-To-Be Handbook. www.fatherstobe.org
"The Birthwise DVD's arrived as you said last week. They are absolutely excellent, we have almost finished watching them. We were very impressed by the quality of the DVD's and will be recommending them to friends etc. We were really disappointed and worried that we had not been offered any antenatal classes throughout this our first pregnancy but now we both feel so much better prepared having watched the birthwise DVD's. I am a GP trainee and am married to a PE teacher and although I have a good knowledge of obstetrics through my training I've never given birth or been a mum before, so was really greatful to watch well constructed and practical advice from a decent midwife! My husband has been asking me lots of questions since watching the dvd's so he has clearly taken in alot of good info. Thankyou very much" Dr Amy Bishop-Cornet and Mr Jamie Sparkes
