Pregnancy Videos

There are so many pregnancy videos produced and available that there is no reason that a woman or couple or a pregnancy or birth health care professional can't watch all sorts of pregnancy videos. Pregnancy videos can be used in the privacy of your home or they can be used as educational tools in birth centers. Many pregnant women like to watch pregnancy videos to help prepare themselves with knowledge and understanding of the process their bodies are undergoing. And most pregnancy videos will include content on labor and childbirth so these pregnancy videos are very instrumental in illustrating to a pregnant woman or a student exactly what occurs during the different stages of labor and delivery.

As a nursing student, obstetric or midwife student or doula student, these pregnancy videos are a great opportunity to observe many women during pregnancy and childbirth before they are actually in a clinical setting or home setting to observe and participate in the actual live process with clients. pregnancy videos have been made that document surgical births, difficult vaginal births and stillbirths. There are also fabulous pregnancy videos that allow you to witness the peace and beauty of natural births without intervention.

Some of these pregnancy videos show pregnant women from all over the world and give us a glimpse of how different cultures approach pregnancy and birth. There are pregnancy videos about water births. One in particular is quite spectacular, called Birth into Being. This pregnancy video interviews and follows several women in Russia that are all preparing for waterbirths. The pregnancy video does actually show you these women giving birth in the water. Some of the women give birth in specially designed tubs or pools, but some give birth in the Black Sea. This is the most spectacular pregnancy video that I have ever seen and I have seen a large number of pregnancy videos.

Childbirth educators often use pregnancy videos to help demonstrate aspects of a healthy pregnancy and births to groups of women and their support partners. Most people find these pregnancy videos very helpful in these settings. Most people's fear and anxiety about anything stems from the unknown, so the more times a woman or a practitioner can watch different pregnancy videos, the less of the unknown exists and thus fear and anxiety about pregnancy and birth diminishes. So whether you get your pregnancy videos from the library or you order your pregnancy videos online or you get to see pregnancy videos in a classroom setting, you will find that pregnancy videos are informative and encouraging and that pregnancy videos are a great resource for the pregnant woman as well as for those who are caring for her.
