Vicki Elson, MA, CCE If you’ve ever gritted your teeth or yelled at the screen while watching a birth on TV or in the movies, you’ll love this DVD.

The resulting contrast of fiction with reality is hilarious, engaging and enlightening. “To understand what it’s really like to have a baby, we have to debunk the silly and scary images served up by the profit-driven media. In reality, birth is hard work, sometimes simple, sometimes complicated, but always miraculous and unforgettable.” Laboring Under an Illusion, is a thought-provoking tour of diverse attitudes and practices–a must-see video for anyone who cares about the reality of childbirth. 50 minutes, NTSC This DVD is available in the following format:   •NTSC ( playable in the US, Canada, and other countries )
