Birth Doula film

http://doulafilm.com - The trailer for our brand new 60 minute documentary film about birth doulas: DOULA! THE ULTIMATE BIRTH COMPANION. The film includes amazing footage of three beautiful, really positive doula-supported births!

Uplifting and highly emotional, this film gives an amazing insight into the role of doulas and the fantastic support they can provide before, during and after birth.

We were inspired to make this film after we experienced unnecessary complications with the birth of our first baby. When we found out about doulas, we realized these complications could have been avoided if we'd had one of these amazing women with us at the time.

this looks amazing. at this point in my life, i do not want children, but if i ever do, i would want to go this route. i swore, i would want a c-section if i ever had to give birth but after learning of the various methods and that birth can be seen as something beautiful rather than just largely equated with pain, i see it as something so different now. i love how doulas connect with the mother, especially while she is in pain, looking in her eyes, calming her and helping her so. amazing.

@christentze Thank you for your lovely comment! You are not alone in thinking c-sections are the way to go these days - sadly it's how a lot of people think birth should be. The whole purpose of the Doula! film is to show parents-to-be that there is an alternative - one that has been practiced for hundreds of thousands of years! It is very possible to have a gentle birth and women need to know that they have a right to one!

This is beautiful, I also am a Doula, since 1980 and so are my 6 daughters it is a life style for our family, my 2 sons have helped with births as well. what I love is the miracle, God is creating another wonderful life that we are privileged to be in their creative energy space. It is complete love energy..... Fantastic Thank you for sharing. We are building an all green self sustaining school campus in Fiji. I hope that we are able to place a free standing Birthing Center there.

Looking forward to seeing this. Are any hospital births shown in the film or is it all home births? (I adore home births, just hoping to see both, since a doula's role can be so different + necessary in the hospital.)

@ablackwo One of the births featured in the film starts at home, but ends up at the local hospital.

I've heard of Doulas but never quite understood what that meant. After viewing this documentary I knew this was for me. I really like knowing everything on a topic from A to Z before I try anything, and this film has opened a window to Doulas and what that all entails. Wonderful film, I think everyone thinking about having a baby or already a parent should view this.
