Reviews

  • I LOVE this new version of The Stages of Labor.The animation is much better, and illustrating more of the partner’s support role in each phase is very helpful. I’m thrilled that you have added up-to-date and valuable content on the Third and Fourth Stages, emphasizing mother’s and baby’s mutual interactions. And the diversity of the families (always admirably represented in InJoy products) makes this film applicable and appealing to everyone. I will happily use this film in all my childbirth classes and doula trainings.
