a friend of mine is a judge for an oregon film festival and one of the movies he is reviewing is birth story: ina may gaskin and the farm midwives so i was able to watch it. the movie is so beautiful and moving, and i could watch it ten times over! i highly recommend it to anyone pregnant– actually to all women really, though i’m not sure where it will be showing or when it will be available to watch online.
Thanks for posting this! I’d love to see if they do a showing in Boston.
I would so love to see this, I found her book very inspiring whilst I was pregnant and aesthetically the film looks amazing!
I saw a YouTube about the process of making the film and I’m hoping I can watch it before I deliver! But that should be mid to end of October and I’m wondering if it will be out by then. Her book has been the most powerful tool in calming my fears about labor.
kim, ina may’s book was so helpful to me too.
did you see this great birth video on marvelous kiddo? it made me want to do it all again!

Neeeed to watch this. I lend her natural childbirth book to all pregnant ladies I know.
