Homebirth books and/or Videos for 2.5 year old

welcome with love; is a children's book about a homebirth.

i have a ton of videos i copied from my old midwife, but i can not remember any of the titles. they are all on one tape together.

my son, was 2 years and 8 months when his sister was born. we watched videos and looked and read books. he really enjoyed it. i even practiced with a doll. he was extremely calm during the birth. we also had some special snacks for him, too.

now i am due with #3, my daughter will be 2 years and 8 months when this one arrives. all surprise babies; the timing was not planned. anyways, she just is not too interested in the videos. she loves the book i mention and we read it every night. this baby is due in mid-august. i plan to start up watching the videos once again very soon. my son, now 5 years old is very excited and still enjoys the videos. he wants me to have 10 kids! i think 3 will be plenty for us though.

my 2yr3mnth DD loves this book it's just beautiful, and the mama labours in a very similar way to how I did with her, which DH and I really like. (lots of walking, standing supported by DH, lots of "yelling", delivers supported standing, cuts cord after placenta comes). It's told very sweetly from the perspective of the youngest of the 3 older siblings to be, his older sisters saw him being born but he's "never seen anyone born". Beautifully beautifully illustrated too.

thanks guys!

I just happened across this post last week and borrowed Welcome with Love from the library for my two year old. What a lovely story. He listens to most of it and it opens the door for a lot of guestions and discusion. The one that made me laugh right out loud was when he exclaimed "baby come out mommy's bum!" Looking at the angle of the picture I can see how this made sense to him. I am hopeful we have cleared this up but also realize he won't think that forever. Thanks!
