Hi everyone,
I am looking to purchase a few birth videos. At least one that I can use for upcoming presentations (either a short video, or one that I can easily use a short segment from that highlights what doulas do). I'd also like to buy one or two good, empowering, informative birth videos to lend to clients. I already have Gentle Birth Choices - so I'd love to hear what other videos you (and your clients) love.

Jeanette

I think the video "Special Women" is about the role of a doula. I also like "Stages of Labor" as a good informational video...this one has excellent visuals for explaining what goes on inside during labor and birth.

Comfort Measures with Penny Simkin is good, and also her video the Three R's of Labor, both on the dona website... also, a short one called Delivery Self Attachment shows a baby who is unmedicated making his way up mama's belly to the breast, and a baby that is medicated trying to do the same. That's available at www.maternalsource.com. Good luck!
