Childbirth Videos on the Web

Childbirth videos on the web show how the triumph of giving birth is sweet. What we do not see is how the pain and regrets of missing a unique and transformational moment in a woman life will sting. Many women experiencing a hospital birth feel robbed and mutilated. A very intimate and private moment in their life was orchestrated in a way they would not like. A hospital birth is considered safe for the mother and baby, because all the medical technology can be employed immediately to safeguard against unexpected complications. However, there is not statistics which proves this widely held belief. On the contrary, homebirths turn out to be much safer and with fewer complications.

What is the great difference between a homebirth and a hospital birth you can watch in childbirth videos on the web? You will probably list the environment, the qualification of obstetricians and midwifes, the procedures, but the greatest difference is in the attitude of the birthing woman. If a woman has taken full responsibility for her birth experience, she will know in advance if any complications can be expected and will prepare for it with a birthing plan. She will consider a hospital birth if something might happen and she intuitively feels the hazards. If she knows that her pregnancy is healthy and her birth will be alike, she would also plan accordingly a homebirth carefully selecting her attendants.

At the end whatever your childbirth experience is, find in it something to value. Take it all in, whatever it may be, and move on with greater wisdom and awareness. Concern yourself not with what is wrong, but with how you can make it better. Take pleasure not only in what you have, but in what it can enable you to do.

Let go of the anger and despair. Hold on to the love, the joy and the wisdom you gained. Appreciate every moment of your birth, whatever that moment may bring. From those moments will come an empowering childbirth both for you and a magnificent beginning for your baby?

Spiritual Midwifery Book

The classic book on home birth is now available in a new edition, with updated information on the safety of natural childbirth, new birthing stories, and the most recent statistics on births managed by The Farm Midwives. Included are stories of working with Amish women, shedding light on a different culture with a similar appreciation for natural childbirth. Ina May also provides new information about potentially dangerous techniques routinely used in hospitals during and after birth, as well as the latest findings about VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean). Improved instructions for handling breech births are also given. When the first edition of Spiritual Midwifery was published in 1976, it introduced an entire generation of young women to the possibility of home birth and breast feeding. It also breathed new life into the all-but-vanished field of midwifery.
