"It was fantastic! I loved it especially because it was cheaper than enrolling in a class, and I could watch it at home at my own pace, pause and rewind, and re-watch any segment I needed."
"First time birthing produces great anxiety regardless of one's unique circumstance... Sarah provided the insight and tools needed to be a "part of" my child's birth rather than just being a passive witness. Without reservation, I would recommend Sarah's class to all first time parents ---yes, it's THAT good!"
Father
"This is probably the most useful class I have ever taken. I went into the delivery room with my wife feeling confident and prepared for what ever path awaited us during the birth... seeing everything in one sitting at Sarah's class really gave me a profound perspective on the whole process. I have recommended this class to every expectant mother and father I have met."
"The class sets a certain standard of expectations for the father-to-be and truely helped out a lot. My husband was such a pro for the whole first month he had to "teach" me how to take care of the baby after he went back to work. I'm truly proud of him. He's such a great father and husband."
Mother
"Outstanding, Sarah is so personable and funny! Relatable to me as a first-time pregnant mother, but to my husband as well.
Expectant Mother
"My husband had no idea how helpful he could be before the class, he went from not being sure he wanted to be in the room to being sure he wanted to help. When the time came he helped so much and remembered all of Sarah's tips that I gave birth with no drugs, I can't recommend Sarah enough. thanks!"
Expectant Mother
"We appreciated the balanced approach to explaining all birthing options and potential interventions. Much of the other information we reviewed seemed to be distinctly biased toward one approach or the other. The Best Birth provided an honest, well-rounded review of the entire spectrum of choices."
"I don't know how new parents do it without taking this class. Even friends who took different birthing/parenting classes didn't seem to have the information and tools that we had."
Father
"As a labor & delivery nurse, I feel Sarah's balanced approach to childbirth is exceptional... The message of unity and teamwork between birthing couple and medical team is so valuable as patients enter the hospital with realistic expectations and an increased ability to flex with the birthing plan. Awesome!"
Expectant Mother
"It was informative, engaging, involved everyone, appropriately funny and serious. Our eyes were definitely opened to the various aspects of labor, delivery, working with the medical team and caring for the baby after birth. We felt very prepared with a healthy dose of nervousness. Thank you, Sarah!!!"
Father
"My midwife saw a huge change in my confidence with labor and delivery..."
Expectant Mother
"The emphasis on getting fathers up and involved humorously was great!"
"I loved her realistic approach and the importance of partner involvement. I needed my husband to realize that he plays a huge role in this event, and this DVD made that happen. #1 all the way!"
Expectant Mother
"I feel really satisfied with The Best Birth... I think it was well worth the money."
Expectant Mother
"I am recommending this DVD to all of my friends and family that are expecting."
"Sarah's class rocks. She has the incredible gift to take an exciting and potentially scary situation and break it down into a much simpler process. She teaches the skills to partners to build their confidence so they can be supportive of the mother and play an active role in the delivery process."
Expectant Father
"I thought the class was fantastic. Although I had been through LaMaze classes for my first daughter, this class gave me a great deal more practical information allowing for very flexible support during the birth of our son. Much more relevant to the real world than just breathing."
Father
"Made me realize how important my role was, is, and will be as a partner... I liked the pragmatism of the recommendations, the clarity of views, and the "light touch" with which birth was approached. Let me explain: I was afraid that there would be a ton of sugar-coated, over-dramatized, "the magic of love and birth" type of things, but no: pragmatism, humor, and sound advice come first."
"Finally, dads-to-be are made to feel like they matter during the childbirth process. This class alleviated a lot of our anxiety as first-time parents."
Mother
"Highly recommended! I am endorsing this to my patients when asked about childbirth education. Also planning on giving this to my own OB as a tool for patient education within the clinic environment."
"The class was absolutely invaluable in helping to educate me on what to expect during labor and delivery... and also in empowering me to better know how to support and aid my wife during labor and delivery."
Father
"While we had a very long delivery, utilizing more interventions than we had originally thought, both mom and baby came through happy and healthy. Thank you for your wonderful class!"
Father
"When the OB told us that we would be delivering by c-section, we were a little disappointed. However, thanks to Sarah we knew what to expect which helped to reduce our anxiety... this class is a must for expecting parents."
Father
"The class did an excellent job of preparing me for the birth, it told me what to expect and taught me specific steps we could take in various situations. It is much less scary when you know what to expect... we were well prepared. I recommend it highly!
Mother
"I loved how much you involved the partners! My husband was a great help because of it... It really helped me to have support from my husband during my weakest moments."
"Before we took the class the pending birth seemed very surreal and distant. It brought everything into focus and created a great mental framework for handling what was to come... I didn't get paralyzed / spastic when the key moments arrived because the class had already helped me understand my role. It was definitely worthwhile."
Father
"The class was wonderful and informative. It helped me to be prepared and able to be there to support my wife... Thank you for this great program. Keep going!"
Father
"I felt totally prepared for childbirth... I am currently studying child development and I found that the this course is spot on in regards to the techniques and practices taught. Thanks!"
Father
"It was incredible - it helped my husband and I really prepare for what could happen - most of it did by the way!"
Mother
"This class was wonderful and really prepared me to help my wife deliver. Thank you!"
"I found that this class's level of first hand actual detail, in all aspects of my daughter's birth and wife's labor, was amazingly useful. I can't imagine what it would have been like going through that time without this class, as I am sure I would have felt more than a little disconnected from my wife and our new baby. It allowed me to become more of a part of the process, and gave me the tools to communicate with my wife, the doctor and hospital staff. Thank you again!"
"Extremely helpful to our family. I planned to support my wife, but I did not know how critical my support was to her delivery. My wife had to have an emergency C-section and if it wasn't for learning all the terminology I would have been so worried. Thank you!"
Father
"The class was exactly what I needed for our 1st child and the materials were a useful review for our 2nd child. I still find that I am more knowledgable than most other people I know about childbirth due to the information from the class."
Father
"Sarah is a WONDERFUL teacher... it was very important for me to understand what was going on and for my wife to feel like she could count on me."
