Editorial Reviews

Review

"Needless to say, this is not your typical birth video. In fact, this is not your typical birth in the USA, which is all the more reason that it should be shown, and often." Claudia Stearns - Doula

"If I only had one video to show my clients from now untl forever, this would be it." Nancy Wainer - midwife --Claudia Stearns, Training Director, BACE

"I spent most of my life as a fighter pilot and a paratrooper. I have no idea why I thought this video would interest me, but was positively captivated by it. "The music and the camera shots created an atmosphere of serenity and tranquility that just grew on me. If you are contemplating a home birth, this video will give you the motivation, insight, and confidence you need to start working seriously toward it. If you are not, it will enlighten you. Birth can be a joy that brings out the best in a family. It isn't the anxiety and discomfort many of us had always taken for granted." --Terry Buettner, Hendersonville, NC

"As a childbirth educator, doula, and mother, I've watched countless birth videos. Without question, BIRTH DAY is the best video currently on the market. I live in the USA where in most cases birth has become more of a medical event than a life event. But BIRTH DAY gives viewers a chance to see a completely normal, natural home waterbirth, with the mother's family (including her other young children) in attendance. Viewers will be given the gift of spending a "birth day" with Naoli Vinaver Lopez and her family at their beautiful home in Xalapa, Mexico. To witness the love and support Naoli and her family share during her labor and birth, combined with beautiful music and narration, is nothing short of inspiring. I was so inspired that I too, had a home waterbirth! "Every pregnant woman and her family needs to see this video. It was also one of the few birth videos I felt was appropriate to show my then-3-year old son as we prepared for the birth of his brother. Basically, it should be required viewing for anyone planning to ever give birth!" --Ami Burns, Chicago, IL USA

Product Description

The new International Version is in fourteen languages: English, Farsi, French, German, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Tagalog and Vietnamese.

Special Features include interviews with Naoli's husband, parents and her midwife. It also shows delivery of the placenta, cutting the cord and intimate family scenes around the birth.

BIRTH DAY has screened in hospitals, clinics, homes, museums, classrooms, conferences and many, many film festivals.

As a childbirth educator, this video is a must for normalizing the healthy, natural birth process. As a mother, this video was integral for preparing my family and myself for my second birth! I watched this video weekly with my two and half year old son ( I cry every time I see it!) as preparation for my homebirth. While my homebirth did not happen, what did happen was an even bigger miraculous, perfect birth experience! I found out my baby in utero was a footling breech,(one foot on my cervix, one foot tucked up)a presentation that has some recognizable risks, so my homebirth became a scheduled csection, much to my chagrin, and sorrow. Well, my baby and body decided we were going to have a natural perfect non surgical birth anyway! I watched Birth Day, and sure enough, went in to labor in the middle of the night...after staying at home for early labor, my husband and I left for the hospital....BOOM! My water broke in the car, and 20 minutes later, my perfect healthy footling breech baby was born, shocking all the doctors and nurses at a very reputable hospital! They had NEVER seen a woman give birth so ecstatically, without fear, just trusting in the process of this non typical birth...the doctor wanted to give me a csec, but I yelled "no! this baby is coming now!" and pushed out my son, Noah Jacob, one foot first, then his body, and head...it was glorious and liberating and beyond expectation and the birthing world will be talking about us for years to come...trusting the process, believing in birth, giving over to the pain all enabled us to have a stress free, magical experience!!! YOU CAN DO THIS!!! Watch this video, trust in your body--GIVE BIRTH!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Glimpse at the often Unseen October 10, 2007
By Rengal
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This video is completely delightful. It is full of deep and moving insight, and gives food for thought about so much. This family has invited us into their lives for an intimate and beautiful moment that most people never even get to see in their own families. Birth is a wonderous and beautiful thing to behold, and this video introduces it that way. I would recommend this to people who not ever have witnessed natural (or any) birth and as well as to those who have.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must see video to all pregnant women December 3, 2003
Format:VHS Tape
Thank you very much Naoli Vinaver Lopez for sharing with us your beautiful, natural homebirth experience in "Birth Day."

I am a Lebanese 29 year old physical therapist who encourages natural childbirth. Being a man, I cannot criticize or judge any laboring woman who asks for pain relief but I find it is very pitiful that almost none of the births nowadays occur naturally. Nearly all of the women have an epidural or even a cesarean because of fear and pain during childbirth. These powerful drugs cross the placenta and go directly to the baby and can cause great harm. Nature has Her own pain relievers if a woman is allowed to move naturally and birth freely without constant monitoring, observation and drugs.

Watching the amazing documentary "Birth Day" is a necessity for all pregnant women. It will reduce fear and encourage women to have their babies in a healthier, more natural way.

"Birth Day" is a great homebirth movie showing that childbirth can be a beautiful experience especially if shared with an encouraging, loving family.
