Recommended podcasts
I highly recommend The Great Birth Rebellion podcast hosted by Midwife Dr Melanie Jackson (aka Melanie the Midwife), which offers evidence- based information to help you make informed decisions about your maternity care. The Great Birth Birth Rebellion helps you get the best out of your pregnancy, birth and postpartum journey.
Although now finished, I love the legacy episodes of The Midwives Cauldron with plenty of great
information for parents-to-be as well
Online courses
“Birth ALWAYS transforms us – for the better or for the worse. Let me show you how to increase your chances of being positively transformed by your birth experience.” Guide to a Great Birth with Melanie Jackson
Check out this fabulous Postpartum Planning Essentials online course from Dr Oscar Serrallach- a great ‘baby shower’ gift for expectant parents too.
Some very aligned and abundant resources inside Raised Good with generous freebies too.
Online films
In relation to birth, I believe that a great DVD or video can go a long way to undo the cultural conditioning and images of birth as intrinsically frightening and dangerous.
The amazing Happy Healthy Child DVD series covers pregnancy through to early parenting. Beautifully filmed, it features experts from around the world (including myself) with a blend of science and wisdom designed to help parents eliminate fears and anxieties, avoid unnecessary and unwanted interventions, and feel confident and ready for this wonderful time. This great resource is now free to watch!!
Among many lovely films, I recommend the paradigm-shifting film Orgasmic Birth (the Best Kept Secret!, with subtitles in Spanish, Portugese, French and German) and related resources.
Also the lovely 
Birth as we Know it, for the variety of experiences and environments, including home, hospital, and birth centre. The Dads are especially touching. (Also available in German, Spanish, Italian, Polish and other languages.)
Wherever you are planning to give birth, the recent Born at Home film is a great introduction to the pros and cons of different birth choices. Beautiful footage of gentle natural births too!
