Where can I find information about evidence-based care that supports following the natural progression of labor and birth as many of the births in the film do?

Lamaze International has developed evidence-based care practices that support normal birth:

1. Labor allowed to begin on its own
2. Freedom of movement throughout labor
3. Continuous labor support
4. No routine interventions
5. Spontaneous pushing in upright or gravity-neutral position
6. No separation of mother and baby after birth, with unlimited opportunities for breastfeeding

To learn more about these care practices and references to studies that support them:

How can I find a childbirth educator who teaches classes that support the care practices shown in Orgasmic Birth?

Contact local midwives and birth network groups.

Call childbirth educators in your local area and ask about their classes. Many educators support these practices.
