Documentary suggestions?

This is my first pregnancy and I'm wanting to have a med-free birth. I saw The Business of Being Born and thought it was great...any other recommendations on some good documentaries that shed a light on natural childbirth?

    I believe there is a second Business of Being Born out there. Haven't seen it. I don't have any other suggestions off the top of my head, but I will suggest you NOT watch Pregnant in America. Not good. They try to be helpful, but the film is poorly done and overly dramatized.

    Having watched both, I agree completely with this statement. Pregnant in America certainly tries to have a useful point, but the filmmaker is just so bad. The few good points he manages to make are pretty much covered by the Business of Being Born, in my opinion.

    Orgasmic Birth is supposed to be good, despite its title.

    There is a newer version calld Organic Birth that is essentially the same thing.  I really enjoyed that one.

    I agree with this too. I thought the dad was a complete douche, and he completely took away from the message they were trying to get across. The only other one I saw was The Business of Being Born and I liked that one. Haven't seen the sequel.
