Vaginal Childbirth Video ClipsTips for making your own video clipAll women share the insight of the transformative potential of childbirth. In the past, the childbirth experience was weaved in daily life by poetry, songs, music, stories. Women shared their experience with the young and created a positive view of birth. Even when birth was not painless or was difficult, sharing helped the mother to integrate it and sort the event in her consciousness. Nowadays, the outcome is important - a healthy baby. The medicalized birth is preferred due to unproven prejudices about the complexities of birth and the proclaimed inability of the mother to cope with the process on her own. This sometimes prevents the woman from experiencing the natural impulses at birth which help her to produce joy-inducing hormones and to experience it as pleasure, not a torture. After a traumatic birth women often shut down and do not comment it. Trying to avoid this experience, it is hard for them to cope consciously with a feeling of loss. Often this brings about problems in the natural bonding of mother and child and results in postpartum depression. Postpartum depression makes a mother avoid gazing her child in the very first moments when the child consciousness is formed by matching the image of the mother. If the mother is hiding and avoiding looking deep into her baby eyes, because she is internally lost, the child's self is lost. Later in life, the same child might feel a strange feeling of emptiness and inability to put together a "Self". When a mother is not prepared to be seen, the child suffers deeply. And so does the mother. Experiencing a vaginal birth in a supporting environment, on the other hand, helps the mother share the common empowerment of the all-women consciousness and relate to this later in life as a source of trust in her abilities and inspiration.

Childbirth ResourcesThe 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. Click here to view this product!ShopShare this SiteSearch the SiteSuggestionsYour Donations Keep aChildbirth.com running!
