BuffaloBirth Network will be hosting a screening of the film Orgasmic Birth at Wishberry in Fredonia, NY.

From their website:

Orgasmic Birth is a documentary that examines the intimate nature of birth and the powerful role it plays in women's lives when they are permitted to experience it. This documentary asks viewers to reexamine everything they thought they knew about giving birth and the potential it holds.

In Orgasmic Birth, world renowned midwife Ina May Gaskin helps us to understand the normal rhythms of labor and the possibility for women to have ecstatic, orgasmic experiences.

"It is possible to have an ecstatic birth-in fact, that is the best- natural high that I know of. And these states of consciousness are best reached when a woman is fully aware and fully awake. Women don't have a way to know how their body works until they really try it out in birth. I think that women can be just completely surprised by the change in them from giving birth- you have something powerful in you -that fierce thing comes up-and I think babies need moms to have that fierceness-you feel like you can do anything and that's the feeling we want moms to have."
