Videos you might find interesting while pregnant.

In the Womb-Beautiful documentary on prenatal development. It's available on youtube in segments, but the quality is lacking so if you can rent it on Amazon or find it somewhere else that is your best choice.

Business of Being Born-Enlightening American women on the risks of interventions during labor and showing alternative routes to childbirth. I don't want to spoil the ending, but I think that was the best part because it makes the movie more comprehensive than it might have been otherwise. Currently available on Netflix.

More Business of Being Born-Made up of four segments including: an interview with Ina May, Celebrity Birth Stories, C-Section trends in Brazil, and VBACs. The celebrity birth stories was my favorite, no matter what kind of birth each woman went through, they all had an empowering message. Currently available on Netflix.

What to Expect When Your Expecting (2012 Film)- While this is not a documentary, the film is inspired by the well-known book by Heidi Murkoff. Without getting to detailed, the film basically follows multiple women experiencing multiple manifestations of pregnancy. It's cheesy, but when is cheesy okay if not during pregnancy? 

Babies- See trailer. This documentary is ADORABLE and definitely worth the $2.99 to rent on Amazon. If you find it somewhere else, please let me know. I've watched it twice already but I would totally watch it again!

The Science of Babies-Learn about babies' remarkable development during their first year of life. Currently available on Netflix.

Happiest Baby on the Block-Dr. Harvey Karp educates parents on the five "S's": Swaddling, Side-lying, Sucking, Swinging, and Sushing. I found this through Inter-Library Loan.
