A new commerical, aired in Spain, shows a birth on a bed at home. The commercial is for a brand of mattress. You can view the commercial here.
The commercial shows a couple preparing for the birth of their baby in their home. Here I will translate the voice-overs:
Mother: We talked and decided that the best option for us would be to have our baby here, in our bed, in our little home.
Father: It's the place where our first child was born, and to do the same thing, in the same bed, was very important for us.
Mother: It's a miracle, no? To bring a life into the world, to help them come out, and to be able to do it however you want, wherever you want, and in your own home.
Father: It is traditional to birth in the most intimate manner.
Mother: There is a certain light, a certain smell, a certain warmth in the place where a baby arrives. It's very special.
Then the commercial shows the mother pushing the baby out on her bed, and bringing baby up to her breast. The commercial shows the baby with the subtitle:
Waira was born on March 21, in a Flex Bed.
And the commercial closes with the company's slogan. Flex: Your Bed. The most important place in the world.
It was truly a beautiful commercial. Much better than the silly wine glass. If I lived in Spain, I would totally buy THAT mattress.

Thanks for finding this and posting it. I just emailed your link to a bunch of my non-blogger friends. Only in Europe hey? Oh well.
You should subscribe to the blog where I found it. It's a group of activists in Zaragoza, Spain.
