I was delighted to be among a select few able to view the trailer for this film and absolutely loved what I saw. Fantastic interviews with great speakers on the state of birth in our modern society with a great positive message. I’m looking forward to seeing more…

Comment on New Video – What do people really think about birth? by Claire Bushell

So much fear still surrounding birth! No wonder the intervention rate is so high when fear is known to lead to tension and tension to pain. In our society, we make so many choices based on fear rather than love and the way we view birth and the way birth turns out for so many people is the result of this. As a HypnoBirthing antenatal teacher, I see many parents starting off the classes full of fear and anxiety about birth and love to see that fade away and be replaced by a gentle excitement and anticipation.

What a sad but accurate reflection of how we view birth. What is it that makes us so scared of such a sacred event? Have we forgotten that it is a normal bodily function?

This is so wonderful amaising and I’m eternally grateful for your time and dedication to this project. I totally believe that we can change the world by changing the way we see and treat birth. I am so excited about this film I can’t wait to see it and spread the word! I’m a Doula in Australia and trained and work with the Australian Doula college and wanted to let you know about the college in case you were interested in talking with her in regards to birth I’m this country, she is an incredible passionate woman, knows loads about birth and is also heavily involved in home birth Australia and the women who are the birthing guru’s of this country. The Australian Doula college is based in Sydney if you were planning to visit there for your film. As a Doula I have midwives who are beautiful friends of mine who may also be wonderful to talk to here in Brisbane? Thankyou thankyou Thankyou for making this film. Sometimes you can feel like a small cog in the wheel but we are making change one birth at a time and this film is a giant step in the right direction. From little things big things grow!!! Much love. Katrina – Brisbane Doula

I was at the screening and I didn’t think you were outspoken at all. As a mother you seemed to share my passion to improve maternity services. As an Independent midwife I do this one woman at a time (as well as fighting through Independent Midwives UK to change things at Government level. As a film maker you can reach hundreds of thousands of women world wide and change their lives for the better.
I am a great supporter of our healthcare system and worked within it for many years, but realise the limitations lack of resources puts on the quality of maternity care. I was far too outspoken at that meeting because I think women should be told the truth about the state of maternity services in this country – for which I do not apologise. Your film will show what can be done and be the catalyst for change. Let me know if I can help change the world.
Love Joy

Toni – thank you so much for sharing. No worries – we all have things we’ve said that we wished, in hindsight, that we’d expressed better. What impresses me is that your heart is in the right place, and that you are helping to give so many people – Michael Odent, Ina May, and more – a voice, no… a megaphone… to get the world’s attention through your project. I am thankful that you are so passionate about what you’re doing and feel so much ownership that you’re making this your fight. It’s going to take that kind of spirit and energy to get through the coming obstacles, and yes, together WE can change the world!!!

Rock on!
You’ll have my full support!
