This 50-minute film is the 3rd film in the 5-film series, “The Roots of Love and Violence: Birth & The Primal Period”, was created from presentations given at Birthing The Future’s 1st International Symposium.

Speakers include: 1) a mother whose toddler told her about life inside her mother’s womb; 2) a Canadian midwife and researcher who also works in Afghanistan; 2) a Canadian government epidemiologist; 3) a Mexican mother, doula, birth educator and midwife; 4) a British attorney-turned-public health physician with experience working in Africa; 5) an Argentinian mother’s different experiences of birth and breastfeeding; and 6) an American midwife whose clients are women who choose to birth at home in rural Oregon

Topics Include:

– how a mother communicated with her baby to change its position in the womb from breech to head-down
– research on the safety of planned home births compared to birth in a hospital
– the critical importance of breastfeeding and unique nature of human breast milk and benefits
– helping women trust their intuitive knowing
– the inherent safety of “natural” normal birth and creating a system of care that supports & protects it
