A Clear Road To Birth

A Clear Road to Birth A video produced and edited by Judy Seaman (2000), 56 minutes.
This remarkable and revolutionary video takes us on a journey not heretofore shared in the visual realm. It documents the unassisted childbirth movement, including how it came into existence in the 1950s and continues to grow, along with the particular experiences of several trailblazing mothers who have given birth without assistance from other than immediate family members.
Laura Shanley wrote a book entitled Unassisted Childbirth in 1994 and was the catalyst for this movement. She became a source of information for other women who felt a deep desire to birth by themselves. The mothers who participated in this documentary sought the help of Laura between 1999 and 2000. Most of them had previously experienced births either in a hospital setting or with a midwife. Some of them were motivated towards unassisted birth by unsatisfactory experiences of previous births and some by easy births that did not require any assistance.

“‘I gained tremendous respect for their courage to go against the grain of society,’’ Ms. Seaman said. ‘’After meeting the women who chose this kind of birth experience, I think the important ingredient is the acknowledgment that this is her birth and that she does not have to follow a blueprint.’”
