This is a beautiful film about the birth process for people. I'll start by saying that I am not a mother so this is not just for people who want to have kids.

This movie is great for people who want to be parents, or people who were born - all of us! Just watching this film can help us understand how the process of our own birth could still be affecting us everyday much later in life due to the limbic imprint. The amazing thing about it is just watching the movie can bring about a calming feeling that resonates through every day. Before I saw this film I didn't like kids, they always annoyed me. But now when I see kids especially if they are crying, it's different for me. Definitely worth watching this movie! Plus, it is difficult to find movies that treat birth as a normal beautiful process. It's easy to find videos of animals being born, but not people. It is amazing to see people being born, but I won't say anything more because I don't want to spoil the film for you. Be sure to see it whether you want to have kids or not, and even if you have already had kids.

Birth As We Know It is fascinating viewing for all of us who have been born, given birth, supported someone in birth or are expecting a baby anytime in the future. It not only shows us the potential for beauty and transcendence in the birth experience but outlines how and why this gateway to life is so important. It is fascinating, beautiful, riveting, and an excellent resource for those wanting to know more about birth. It is both eye opening and deeply healing to watch. Birth As We Know It contains scenes that are unusual to come by and will help future parents to make crucial decisions about what they want for their babies entry to life. There is historical footage from the Black Sea birth camps which is really interesting for birth professionals as this is where water birth really took off and from there, spread throughout the world. Thoroughly recommended, I have seen it hundreds of time and it is my gift of choice to expecting parents.

I LOVE this film! I have owned it, watched it and shown it to others for years! Helps us see what's possible for healthy peaceful births, lives and world! Highly recommended for moms, dads, everyone! I especially love the use of hypnotherapy and toning at the births. I love that the children are present. Given medical birth practices it is quite something to see a woman deliver her own baby into her own hands. I am particularly interested in not cutting the umbilical cord right away, but better to leave it alone for awhile, if not have a lotus birth. Lotus birth is not really covered in the film, but you can research it. I think it is so important to learn more about healthy birth practices and only use medical intervention if needed.
