    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.

    Yeah the multiple orgasms lady and the couple pashing through contractions were not really something I can relate to But so many of the births were amazing. I lvoe that while some were short and seemed "easy", others were long took some work to get baby out... they were all so beautiful Glad you enjoyed it!

    I actually in general found the partners too 'hands on' and I kept wanting to slap their hands away! But it gave my H and I something to talk about for what *I* want which was nice. I related mostly to the Maori woman... hands off, doing her thing and quietly saying "no, no, no". Loved her
