    Two I highly recommend are Orgasmic Birth and The Business of Being Born. There's a few that the Maternity Coalition have put on that looked great, but I couldn't get to see.

    Gloria LeMay has a pretty cool video of a back yard birth on her website. (her name dot com.) It's an unassisted birth, which I'm not really comfortable with, personally, but it still definitely shows how simple and natural birth can/should be.
    If you want a good natural birth story, try looking at Ina May Gaskins' website. She has one there from her daughter-in-law - Cheyenne's Amazing Birth it's called. I thought it was a great story. And, if you like reading good birth stories, Ina May's Guide to Childbirth is full of them.

    All the best for a great birth!

    Any hypnobirthing films on youtube are very good and un-scary. And there's also ones about laughing through birth.
