Birth As We Know It

Below are some links for you to check out. My friend, Elaina Tonetti has been doing some amazing work surrounding birth. Her first video is called Birth Into Being and later it expanded and evolved into Birth As We Know It.

I've witnessed many beautiful births, those of my own six children, several of my grandchildren, as well as many others. I've been present at only one water birth, my granddaughter, Namika, who was born in Hawaii, 2004. She took her birth in the morning, outside, in pre-hurricane weather, the storm hit that night. My son was in water with her mommy, welcoming her. It was one of the loveliest moments of my life.

Click here to view two trailers of Birth As We Know It. There is a theatrical trailer which runs for a couple of minutes and introduces the film:
Once in a lifetime a film inspires us to believe, to love, to heal, to
live. The most compelling look at birth and life of our time.
Birth as we know it.
Then there is an Incredible 10 minute promo. I encourage you to watch both of them. I've had Birth Into Being for many years and I'm definitely going to order the Birth As We Know It dvd.
