Reccomend your favorite natural birth book/video!

I am getting a list together of reccomended books/video/movies about natural childbirth and would like some help!! What materials did you find to be most helpful? Any suggestions or warnings? I've already heard wonders on "The Business of Being Born," "Homebirth in the Hospital," and "Husband Coached Childbirth." So, add to my list. :) TIA everyone!

    I agree with this reccomendation 100%! I am actually reading both right now.

    Dr. Sears book, The Pregnancy Book, is a good one too!

    There's a list in the FAQ (see siggy).

    I think I'm the only person into natural birth that hates Ina May. Not a fan of the vibe of the books I tried to read.

    There's another movie, along the lines of "Business" called "Pregnant in America".  I found it just as interesting and less preachy than "Business".  It follows one couple on their journey to a home birth, but with interviews and research done along the way.
