Video of human birth can be a great education and preparation for
every expecting mother. Many young people are growing up with a medicalized
view of birth. Watching a natural birth can transform our undertanding
of what is the norm.
A natural home birth can be ecstatic intimate experience,
a far cry from the hospital hussle and bustle.
The video of human birth shows that if the mother follows
her instincts and is surrounded by people she trust, birth is easy.
A conscious birth can be so beautiful, lovely and wonderful experience.
A video
of human birth can have a powerful impact on anyone who watches
it. Birth without interventions or unassisted is magic.
Any birth involves some pain, but in natural birth
the mother trusting her body knows how to relax and the body supplies
her with the hormones of love which alleviate pain. In my own experience
the third phase was painless. My body knew how to do it. The position
I took was the best for the birth and made it easy for the baby to
slip through the birth canal.
Giving birth is the most amazing, incredible thing
a woman can do. The mother and her primitive instincts are going to
push the baby out. A mother's body knows exactly what it needs to
do (even if the mother's mind doesn't).
"The labour process is also one that requires TREMENDOUS
focus and will power, so you should be in an environment where you
feel most comfortable and at ease. For some this is a hospital and
for some it is at home, surrounded by one's loved ones.", commented
a woman watching this video of human birth.
Here are some other comments: "Women have been giving
birth without any medical interference for millenia."
"Births without doctors or medical equipment are weird
or unsafe?
If they really were that unsafe the world population
wouldn't be around 6 billion right now."
"Human beings are animals, they give birth, just like
any other species, through instinct."
This video
of human birth shows an unassisted birth at home. The people present
are the birthing mother, her husband, her sister, best friend and
mother. The cry of the child is not because it was traumatized by
seeing his mother give birth, but because it was 4: 45 am, he woke
up and like any child wanted his mother.
Women giving birth at home unassisted testify that
if the mother and baby are healthy and have all the necessary prenatal
care and the mother is fully educated on labour and birth, a home
birth is a wonderful empowering experience.
