Giving Birth Being Born

[DVD]

The first part of this video shows a number of women labouring and giving birth in a clinic in Austria. The birth room is set with a huge mattress (no bed!) and a variety of equipment, including birth ball, birth stool, hanging rope and a support ladder. Using these, the women mostly give birth in upright positions, supported by the fathers. The montage of labours is accompanied by gentle music, the pictures tell the story. Ideal for prenatal classes. The second part uses animated computer graphics to illustrate the physiology of labour and the cardinal movements of birth. It offers simple, clear explanations of the various stages, with the emphasis on normal, active birth in upright positions. This part would be useful for midwifery students. Highly recommended!
