A really good birth video to watch?

My husband and I really want to prepare ourselves for what's ahead and watch some birth and labour videos.

We're planning on doing a vaginal birth with an epidural once the contractions get to be too much for me. Of course, I realize plans can change, so we're looking at natural and c-section videos too.

I was wondering if anyone could share a few links of some really helpful ones?

    I really liked "The Business of Being Born." It's definitely got an agenda, though, so take that with a grain of salt/be aware of their bias. I just watched "The Orgasmic Birth" as an assignment for our birthing class. They showed many natural births as well as one C-section and one hospital/epidural birth. In my opinion, it was still "preachy" but definitely provided lots of births.

    I second The Business of Being Born, as they did have a c-section birth in there, as it was necessary. If you can find any Bradley birth videos, maybe on Youtube, they are horribly outdated fashion wise but are pretty good at getting the point across if you can overlook the handlebar mustaches.

    Yup, business of being born. Pregnant in America was also helpful (netflix instant play, woot woot) but I've been watching so many birthings lately I can't remember which movie had what, lol. Embarrassed I don't remember if it had a lot of laboring or not, but I do remember liking the amount of information it presented.
