I have only done it during my second trimester but the pace and ease of directions makes this an enjoyable experience. I feel like I will be able to do this up to delivery.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Perfect Labor Prep

I used this video once traditional yoga become uncomfortable (2nd and 3rd trimester). Plenty difficult, Easy to modify to make more difficult if need be. I really didn't embrace the third trimester variations until the last couple of weeks. I absolutely believe that yoga during pregnancy helped labor and delivery go so smoothly for me (effective pushing, easier to focus on breathing, drug-free delivery)

I'm Smaller than I was pre-pregnancy!!

When I became pregnant with my 5th child, my husband and I were very happy. I do recall suffering from backaches and pains and was not looking forward to it. My 3rd pregnancy, we went out and purchased a very expensive mattress set thinking that would be the solution to my problem. It was only temporary. During my OB appt. one of the RNs recommended Yoga to me. I was also concerned that I had not lost all of my "baby weight" from my previous pregnancy and I had gained a lot of weight on birth control. I began the workout DVD toward the end of my 1st trimester. I worked out with the DVD 4 to 5 times a week and walked on my treadmill 1-2 a week. One thing I noticed immediately....no back pains. I also really enjoyed the relaxation part and the fact that I would actually fall asleep right on the mat! The exercises were easy but you still felt a "good stretch" in certain poses. I also liked the fact that you are able to watch different variations of the poses from the various different women on the DVD just in case you need to modify. Moreover, it is VERY relaxing! (Great for us moms with multiple children. The DVD really gives a peace of mind.) Pre-pregnancy, I was 184lbs. While working out with this DVD, I only gained 10lbs and my son was 8lbs. 7oz. (I was also not on a restricted diet and never had gestational diabetes.) I ate when I was hungry, I ate what I wanted, and I drank lots of water. When I went to my six week check up, I was 156lbs!!! My pre-pregnancy clothes are TOO BIG!! I am amazed! I also had a C-section so I was not able to do any sort of workout during those 6 weeks. During my workout regimen, I did begin to feel "leaner" but with an every growing abdomen, you really don't see it. However, I see it now!! I am very happy and pleased with my results. I am feeling more like myself now and I am now back to purchase another Yoga DVD. This DVD is for all mommies to be in all beautiful shapes and sizes.

I don't know what I would have done without this yoga video. My backpain started in the 3rd month of pregnancy and nothing worked to relieve it. Then I bought this video and like magic...relief. In my 6th month now and I can still complete each pose and feel great when I finish. I will be sharing this with all my friends when they are pregnant.

I was pregnant w/my first child when I got this video as a babyshower gift at first I was not interested in using it but I found that later on down my pregnancy I would need it. It was great to relieve stress and I feel it really did help with my labor because it was a breeze. Since Ive had my son ive bought this as a gift for other friends as a babyshower gift as I once recieved myself. I could honestly say that it made being pregenant so much more enjoyable. When and If I get pregnant again I will be using this video as soon as I find out.

The video is a great way to relax and stretch on my off-days of prenatal yoga classes. Easy to follow instructions for different stages of pregnancy.

Prebaby no exuse dvd

Verified Purchase:No
This was my first real introduction to yoga. When I first did it I thought it was so low impact with seemingly disproportionate results. Its easy to do and you don't have to 'get yourself in the mood' or 'pep yourself up' to be able to do it-so I had zero exuse not to do it ever! I found I used this one more often than the others AND if I did not do it my back pain (which had almost completely disappeared) would reappear. I've used this postnatal for months which HAS indeed been beneficial until I choose new yoga dvd.
