Favorite Physiological/Natural/Intervention-Free Birth Video (Aside from BoBB, of course)
Hi all, I'm a Childbirth Educator and Doula and I need some more recent videos... Anyone have some favorites?
In class, I use Birth Day, a couple clips from Gentle Birth Choices and Special Delivery, Birth as We Know It, BoBB and Pregnant in America.
I show a couple of YouTube videos as well, including http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=accidentally+unassisted...� -- who happens to be a woman who attended my free monthly birth seminars. :-D
Anyone have stuff they love? Preferably without huge 1980's hair and glasses? lol.

Hi,
Maybe this can help! I've just launched a new documentary on DVD about doulas (DOULA! THE ULTIMATE BIRTH COMPANION) that features in close-up detail three births; two home water births and a birth that progresses to a hospital c-section.
Connie Livingston, President of Perinatal Associates www.birthsource.com said about the film:
"“This film has some of the most amazing waterbirth/pushing video I have ever seen and shows mothers in various phases of labor, managing labor with nonpharmacological pain relief methods such as positioning, hydrotherapy, walking, squatting, breathing, focusing, vocalization and more! Such joy, confidence and relaxation on the mother and father’s faces ~ the way birth should be! This is a great video for doulas to show to potential clients – it is both an introductory tool for doula care but also a great birth film! Childbirth educators will also benefit from it for the same reasons ~ including waterbirths!”
Here's the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRc36qMxNak
And I promise there's no 1980's hair and glasses! For more info, visit www.doulafilm.com
