Giving Birth: Challenges and Choices

[NTSC: US & Japanese format]

An ideal video for all pregnant women to see, this program not only enlightens but challenges widely held views about the safety and desirability of a medicalised birth. Through the eyes of women, obstetricians, midwives and doulas, we learn what to expect from caregivers and also see a birth, with a midwife in attendance. There is good information on the research, and an emphasis on what birth feels like for the baby. A strong message of "trust yourself" emerges, backed by beautiful images from the video's maker, Suzanne Arms, the photo journalist author of Immaculate Deception. This video offers a new model for what is normal and natural in labour and birth in contrast to what is typical. Its strong, positive message will build confidence in expectant mothers and encourage them to challenge widespread beliefs about the current medical model of birth. A must for all pre-natal classes!
