Childbirth Videos

Childbirth videos can be your allies in the preparation for the moment of birth. It is a rare occasion for a woman nowadays to witness birth. This leaves us uninformed about one of the most important events in our lives.

We can read stories and hear the mothers from the neighbourhood tell us about their birth experiences, but we do not have an idea what it is really like until it happens to us.

Having access to childbirth videos makes it possible to see for ourselves how birthing happens in the hospital, at home, in water. We can listen to comments of women who have gone before us and share their wisdom.

Videos have a great educational power. It can transform our view of birth and empower us to make informed choices.

Use them and see for yourself what the effect is. Professional videos are a good option, because they give the background information. Yet, there are a lot of free clips which can give us an idea of what childbirth is like in different settings. We can see actual birth and know what to expect.

This makes it much easier to list our options and choose the best one.

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.
