I'm 31 weeks pregnant with baby no 4. Thinking of having a home birth but havent totally made up my mind yet.

Can anyone recommend a good birthing video to "get me in the mood" so to speak. Its been 4 years since I last did this birthing thing and I need a reminder of what its all about.

Thanks

The book Gentle Birth Choices comes with a DVD. It is pretty good and very positive.

YouTube is full of brilliant birth videos. And if you can find it online, watch Ricki Lake's The Business of Being Born

Hi I bought a really good NCT book 'Happy Birthday' with a free DVD featuring good home birthing experiences. The book is excellent too and features lots of info on birthing choices.

(I got it for £10 in Tesco!)

Birth Into Being dvd is really inspirational. I am expecting my first baby so it may seem ridiculous when I look back after the event (is very excited about the whole spiritual 'opportunity' of birth), but I'm up for any amount of encouragement at almost 37 weeks! Was a little bit pricey at about £35, but I think worth every penny.
