.Giving Birth
Giving Birth is the acclaimed film by Suzanne Arms that compares the medical model of birth with the biological model for birth. It is a 35-minute video that is designed to inspire as well as educate. Three obstetricians and a hospital labour and delivery nurse speak on the importance of natural, normal birth. A doula talks about what a doula is and does and the value of having a doula with a woman throughout labor to support both her and her partner and to protect the process.

This video explores the common misconceptions about pain in labour, epidural anesthesia and many routine hospital procedures. The risks of routine obstetric practices are also discussed.

There is a candid interview with a mother about her caesarian birth experience as well as footage of a homebirth and images of a water birth. You will learn how empowering birth can be for a woman, what true support looks like in labour, and understand what active birth is really all about.

NOTE: Research done on Giving Birth proved that this film is effective in lowering the level of fear of birth in men as well as women.
