Where is Psalm & Zoya??

post #1 of 12
Thread Starter 
Someone I know is looking to buy this video and I can't find it anywhere! I thought I remembered the website was for Earth Birth productions but that won't come up. It used to be available through several birthy sites and it's gone from all of them that I can find. I can't even find it on Ebay!

Their mom is a friend of mine. I suspect it's not being sold anymore at all, because she's moved on from that stage of her life.

Why would she stop selling it? It's a great video for showing how normal birth can be.

I've never seen the video, but I've found several videos on Youtube that

And here's my 4th birth, attended by completely hands-off midwives and "unassisted" except for the catching by my 7 yr old son.

I don't want to speak for her, but as I understand it as time went by she grew uncomfortable being a kind of UC folk hero. Her views have evolved, and while she's still a normal/home birth advocate, she didn't want like being a model women strive to emulate with a twin birth.

I never saw the video and hope I get a chance to someday!

That's too bad -- I completely understand her feelings, but gosh that was a beautiful video. One of my favorite.

I looked for it for a friend and had a hard time finding it, I googled it and did find an online store that still had copies. Though now I have no idea which one and that was a several months ago.

It is such a great video.

Thanks for sharing your birth videos. I am so excited about the idea of DD being at her sibling's birth.

You can still order it through Laura Shanleys site:

Laura's site is being re-designed and will be back up soon. I'm not sure if she still has any of these videos left, but I will ask her and post again.

Laura doesn't have any more, sorry to say!

This video is not for sale any more. The mom has had some bad experiences with people thinking birthing twins unassisted is no big deal and then running into trouble. It is unfortunate that those that run off half cocked and choose not to educate themselves have cost the community this video, but I can understand her feelings.

It was a great example of how to birth twins naturally but that mommy had had excellent prenatal care and was very well educated and prepared for that birth. Both mom and dad handled themselves well. They were blessed that no complications happened. This mommy has since attended births that have caused her to see that having a trained assistant can be useful if something needs to be done. It has made her uncomfortable with UC.
