Any good documentaries on birth or pregnancy?

I recently watched The Business of Being Born about the medical industrial complex surrounding pregnancy and birth. And I was pretty shocked by some of the stuff there, but mostly uplifted and confident in my pregnancy.

 

Does anyone know of any other good documentaries on pregnancy and birth? Preferrably available online, like on youtube.

 

Here's a link to the documentary I'm talking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9G_XVSQa1o

I watched "Babies" awhile back, it covered the birthing process of women around the world. It was very good.

I actually bought Babies. I think it's such a beautiful movie! I've watched it several times already. I keep forgetting it's a documentary because the production quality is so high.

haha well in the comments of the youtube video you posted it says to watch orgasmic birth, sounds like a weird kinky porn to me....but never know....

Pregnant in America was pretty interesting too. I didn't like it as much as BOBB but it definitely had some eye opening topics. There is also a second BOBB called More BOBB. It's a 4 part series and was really interesting. I rented it for free from my library

"In the Womb" made by Nat Geo is pretty good. It focuses more on the pg itself with lots of computer-generated images of what the fetus looks like based on 3D/4D ultrasound images.  The birth portion is not too long and didn't quite freak DH out.  I got it out from my local library for free.

Loved Babies, though it's more about babies after being born than in utero. Loved Business of Being Born. Really liked Pregnant in America. And I've always loved watching the Nat Geo In the Womb series.
