Giving birth videos are a part of a woman's preparation for delivery. In almost every antenatal pregnancy class mothers watch videos of delivery.

But how can a woman learn what to do with her body. Our culture does not prepare us for natural birth. We do not live among other women, who have become mothers and who can with their example, using the tradition to show us their faith in the sacredness of birth.

Who and what should a woman rely on to choose a home birth? Does she have faith in herself as a woman? What is her faith? Which are the signals to pay attention to? This is a wide topic, because there is information, but not knowledge (internalized and understood concepts) of what is to be a woman, mother and all the rest we have inside, what is our potential.

This selected giving birth video provides advise about the natural process of birth, for which we are ready being born women. We have inside the instinctive knowledge how to handle this process. Our intuition can guide us to the best posture for delivery. Our souls communion with the baby can makes us work in synchrony. Once we trust our bodies, our female nature, we receive the empowerment of birth givers.

To give birth naturally, a woman needs to be free and to be the one who decides what to do in any moment.

As in any natural process, there can be complications in birth sometimes - fortunately, the contemporary medicine has developed so far as to safe the lives of the mother and child in such cases, in which in the past the result was fatal. Medical institutions, however, have made technology an intervention necessary for all - in order to protect the few - all were advised to go through the medicalized delivery. And the complications grew, because birth was treated as a complex, unpredictable, scary and close to death.

Statistics show that after the second world war, with the increase of qualified birth attendants, the birth mortality fell in Western Europe. However, the birth mortality decreased in Norway, the Netherlands and Denmark, where midwives close to the home and attending home births were trained in medical procedures, while in Great Britain and USA, where the hospital was the place for women to go to give birth, mortality rate did not decrease considerably.

Such statistics clearly speak of the importance of the home setting for a mother to feel safe and secure and to experience birth in the best way possible.
