Summary: Will the use of alternative birthing and pregnancy therapies one day become the norm? No one can say for sure, but more and more young mothers are attracted to birthing methods that avoid medication and traditional procedures. This program focuses on a couple that are about to have their fifth child and third home birth. Their desire is to have a water birth and the mother plans to use the hypnobirthing technique during labor. Also profiled is a pregnant woman who doesn't want any medication during labor and is now exploring the benefits of alternative therapies to assist in pain relief. Viewers accompany her as she attends an acupuncture session and prenatal yoga instruction to find out if these options are suitable for her.
