I have really been enjoying this DVD! It took me a while to find a belly dancing workout especially for pregnancy; in the meantime I tried out a few beginning belly dance DVDs that were not specifically for pregnancy and found most of them hard to follow. Amira does a very good job of breaking down the moves. The movements in themselves are simple, yet even after following the video twice I felt a huge difference in my hips and muscle tone. That being said, I didn’t think that the warm up segment was that great; I didn’t feel especially warmed up after doing it, so what I do now is warm up with some of my other DVDs and then skip straight to the strengthening and belly dance sections. The labor exercise segment is also very helpful. However, I was not too impressed with the interviews. There is good information there, but if you already have any experience with (natural)birthing you will probably not hear anything that you didn’t already know.
As a side note, I was at a sandwich shop with my 2 year old daughter the other night and she got up and started doing hip circles to the pop music that was playing there

This video is so great. I really enjoyed all of the interviews with the 6 mothers. All of their experiences with belly dance and birth are so different, powerful, and real. The workout is safe and well-rounded. You can tell that Amira put a lot of work into creating this product, and her performances are lovely too.

As a belly dancer of 10 yrs I did not want to leave dancing out of my pregnancy. Once my regular classes became too late in the eve for me I ordered this DVD. What a relief to continue my dancing and to be so inspired. Amira is well spoken and easy to follow, and even keeps you interested throughout the entire session. I felt it was beginner level, yet completely appropriate. Most importantly I enjoy myself every time I dance with this video, and am thankful for the space it creates for my baby and me.

I bought this DVD for my pregnant friend and we watched it together. I wish this sort of information was around when I was pregnant. I never knew that belly dance historically is a “birth dance”. It makes all makes sense now. This DVD will help you to get ready for birth not only physically but also mentally. None of the other pregnancy DVDs go in so much depth like this this one does. AND ITS OVER 3 HOURS LONG. I also loved the interviews with belly dance mothers very much. There is so much information on this DVD, it’ll take you days to watch it all through. I think every woman, pregnant or not, should know this information, it’ll make you appreciate yourself more, the woman you are. Great job Amira, this DVD was well needed.
