Live Childbirth Streaming Video

Live childbirth streaming video shows how holistic caregivers are interested in a broad picture of women's wellbeing during pregnancy and birth. They focus on the 80-90 % of healthy experiences and promote trust in the natural process of pregnancy and birth.

Many doctors tend to view pregnancy and childbirth as a medical case. Their aim is to 'ward off' potential health risks to the mother and baby. They use vaginal monitoring, make the mother lie on her back, attach to her medical technology and administer drugs in their enthusiasm to improve upon the natural processes. They believe that this will improve the health outcome for the mother and baby. This intervention, however, is not supported by statistics and careful scientific research.

Midwifes and doulas provide care across the continuum from conception to parenthood. Their work addresses the emotional, spiritual, as well as physical dimensions of the parents' experiences.

Childbirth Resources

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.
