History of Childbirth in America

I am trying to finally put this on here after its been finished for months. Childbirth, or the history of childbirth, is a real and true passion of mine, and i am quite proud of the film story, which i made in Womens History last semester as a research based historical (short) film. I hope you like it! Also, LOTS of credit has to go to my partner that worked on it with me, the other (awesome!) Sarah. Thanks!

I really enjoyed watching your video. My husband and I are currently trying to get pregnant. I totally agree with you about allowing women to have more control over their own births. I'm very lucky that I have a wonderful family doctor who LISTENS to me and has 3 children of her own. I wouldn't feel as good going into a pregnancy without having such faith in my doctor. Thanks for your contribution.

My husband is a doctor. I have always reminded him to be respectful of women and their bodies. I think I have him convinced that doctors--especially those who have never experienced childbirth themselves--are not the most important people in the room during delivery.

Yay! Thats the whole idea! Thanks for commenting!

I'm sure there's more than one.  But if you're talking about the kid who looks about 9 years old, a paternity test proved he wasn't the dad after all.

we, today, are presented only one "appropriate and acceptable option" of birth with a physician. Birth is treated as any other "illness" when in fact it is more of a journey.... and at a risk of sounding to "hippy-dippy" something that is meant to happen naturally and perfectly for almost all women.

there is nothing more empowering then being a mother who travels through her birth, with her birth, and gives birth. this is opposed to having birth "happen" to you.
