Creative Bird Productions Launches Video Series To Shed Light On Controversial Birthing Options For Women

Creative Bird Productions today announced the launch of its video documentary series, “Catchin’ Babies,” which sheds light on alternative birthing options for women and attempts to remove the stigma attached to home birth. The series follows longtime Midwife Joni McCann and assistant Andrea Casas as they strive to educate and empower women through home birth while being confronted with misconception, fearful relatives and an under-educated society.

The negative stigma attached to home birth inspired the series that follows the two women who help mothers deliver their babies at home. “The goal of this series is to reach audiences around the world to connect, empower and educate women,” says Gloria Camacho, owner of Creative Bird Productions and creator of Catchin’ Babies.

Joni is a licensed midwife and catchin’ babies for over 37 years. She has delivered between a total of 2500-3000 babies. Confronted daily with the struggles of a growing yet under- educated market, competing hospitals, and managing her own birthing center, Joni still remains a committed and passionate midwife to each of her mothers.
