Homebirth General Discussion #3

We have Hello Baby but my son is not so keen on it. I scared him off by making "the sound Mummy makes when the baby comes out"! He'll watch it though if I read it and I make up a shortened version of the story with our own names. He smiles and likes the page of the baby just born so that's good!

Book depository has it for about $9 and they have free postage

Wow thank ill look into that tomorrow $9 is great!

My H and I just watched "Orgasmic Birth". It was REALLY good!! I highly recommend it. Had info about natural vs intervention births as The Business of Being Born doesbut it focuses more on actual births and it was a great watch. Let me know if you want to see it and can't find it.

Is that just on you tube Meow?

It's an hour and a half doco- I'm not sure I can find the whole thing on youtube. I think you would really like it so let me know if you're after it on DVD.

ETA: I just wrote about the doco in another thread and thought I would add my mini review here...
Orgasmic Birth is great to watch with your partner- it talks a lot about the sensual intimacy birth can be and it's really good to show how partners can be involved & support birth. There are a couple of hospital births with inventions too and it's funny that even though I've discussed all that with my H he had a lightbulb moment and said "It's interesting how one thing leads to another and another and another". Yep- that's the "cascade of intervention" hon and the whole reason I made the birth choices I did At least he really gets it now.
