The best childbirth quicktime video clips I have seen are from NOVA Online.

NOVA Online Life's Greatest Miracle. In this QuickTime video there is a hospital birth, which is the most common experience of women in the West, but please remembers what Ina May Gaskin writes in Spiritual Midwifery:

'Pregnant and birthing mothers are elemental forces, in the same sense that gravity, thunderstorms, earthquakes and hurricanes are elemental forces. In order to understand the laws of their energy flow, you have to love and respect them for their magnificence at the same time that you study them with the accuracy of a true scientist. A midwife or obstetrician needs to understand about how the energy of childbirth flows -- to not know is to be like a physicist who doesn't understand about gravity.' Ina May Gaskin Spiritual Midwifery 1977

Consider all your options in childbirth. A homebirth with a doula or unassisted is just as safe as a hospital birth for healthy pregnant women. The emotional and spiritual experience is incomparable. Nowhere else could you have the privacy and assurance of your home and loved ones.

Childbirth Resources

The classic book on home birth is now available in a new edition, with updated information on the safety of natural childbirth, new birthing stories, and the most recent statistics on births managed by The Farm Midwives. Included are stories of working with Amish women, shedding light on a different culture with a similar appreciation for natural childbirth. Ina May also provides new information about potentially dangerous techniques routinely used in hospitals during and after birth, as well as the latest findings about VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean). Improved instructions for handling breech births are also given. When the first edition of Spiritual Midwifery was published in 1976, it introduced an entire generation of young women to the possibility of home birth and breast feeding. It also breathed new life into the all-but-vanished field of midwifery.
