Producer Zach Marion is looking for someone planning have a home birth and due in January or early February to add to the birth stories in an upcoming Discovery Health Network show promoting midwifery and home birth.
Since the two already on board involve organic coffee growers in Hawaii and a couple planning to erect a "birth teepee" in Utah, he suggests that maybe a more urban birth setting would round out the trio.
Unsure about having a film crew at your birth? (I hope, frankly, that you are at least a little unsure.) Marion knows strangers can be disruptive but says in filming dozens of births for "House of Babies," he and his crew have become practiced at fading into the background and becoming "a fly on the wall." Not to mention blurring out the bits network TV doesn't want to show in high-def.
So if you're due at the right time and want to do your part for home birth awareness (especially, say I, if you are not the "stereotypical" home birth mom), give Marion a ring. It'll mean dad won't need to worry about the camcorder.
