In Gentle Birth Choices Barbara Harper, renowned childbirth advocate, nurse, former midwife, and mother of three, helps to clarify these choices and shows how to plan a meaningful, family-centered birth experience. She dispels medical myths and reimagines birth without fear, pain, or violence. Harper explains the numerous gentle birth choices available, including giving birth in an independent birth center, at home, or in a hospital birthing room; finding a primary caregiver who shares your philosophy of birth; and deciding how to best use current technologies. She also provides practical advice for couples wishing to explore the option of using a doula or water during labor and birth to avoid the unwanted effects of drugs and epidurals. The Gentle Birth Choices DVD blends interviews with midwives and physicians and six actual births that illustrate the options of water birth, home birth, and vaginal birth after a prior Cesarean section. The DVD clearly reveals the strength of women during childbirth and the healthy and happy outcome of women exercising gentle birth choices. It is a powerful instructional tool, not only for expectant parents, but also for midwives, hospitals, birth centers, and doctors. 240236 1991 Gentle Birth Choices total:164|5:67|4:58|3:30|2:8|1:1| 164 674 220 35 3 1 false false Tue Jul 21 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 21 11:56:08 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 21 12:02:44 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Sat Jan 03 13:03:00 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 03 13:04:40 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 1 false false Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Oct 04 22:22:13 -0700 2007 Mon Aug 10 11:45:03 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Fri Feb 13 11:33:09 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 13 11:35:06 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Thu Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Wed Oct 31 14:19:39 -0700 2007 Wed Oct 31 19:59:18 -0700 2007 more...]]> 2 0 false false Mon Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 08 16:10:03 -0700 2008 Thu Sep 25 05:43:52 -0700 2008
