Purchased in preparation for childbirth, I watched the DVD once, but haven't used it since and have kept it stored at home. The DVD seal has been cut and opened, but the book is in very good condition. This book is recommended for those who are about to give birth and for those who want to reduce the fear and pain of childbirth, even if only a little. Please understand that this item has been stored at home and the DVD seal has been opened.
