best homebirth videos to help prepare an almost three year old?

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
My first baby was born at home and we are going to have an encore presentation with baby number two! i wan tto prepare her for the homebirth as she will be there (she is very attached to me and would not do well to be sent to someone else...). So which youtube videos out there are the best to help prepare her? any other videos i should know about? she doesn't normally watch tv but for this i think an exception will be made. she does have the books "Runa's Birth" and "welcome with love".

thanks

My 2.5 year old DD loves to watch this waterbirth (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gKBjzu9s44). She talks about it endlessly and hollers at my tummy, "Sprout, you want a waterbirth!"

We watched this one once (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fwWdVda8sg), but it's a lot more graphic so you'll want to decide if your DD would be ok with it. My DD was fine, but it didn't make as much of an impression as the waterbirth video.

We watched a lot of youtube videos, but I didn't bookmark them. I just made sure to preview them first to make sure it was something I wanted to show DS (he was 25 months when DS2 was born).

Here is mine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkMpukYFNLc

When I was pg with Dd2 we watched Gentle Birth Choices, The birth of Sabine, and Waterbirth: A Sacred Journey.

Dd1 loved watching these movies. She had just turned three after her sister was born. She was present for the birth. Here's our youtube video. Warning, its very graphic.

There are a lot of great hb movies on youtube.
