If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to the Natural Childbirth RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!This is another lovely unassisted childbirth video from Laura Shanley. The ending of this short video almost brings tears to my eyes. Would you rather be this baby or the baby chemically blasted from the [...]
This is a great example of unnecessary interventions. These women seem to be trying to dig the baby out. They are pulling the babies head, pushing on the mom’s stomach. It is nightmarish. Wow. Notice how the poor infant is poked and prodded and slapped. Now [...]
This video was removed by Youtube and I want to cry. It was an incredible example of how fast and painless childbirth can be in the absence of interventions. I want to drop an apple on every OB-GYNs head (and many midwives) because clearly they never learned about a little something called gravity in [...]
This is a nice video by Laura Shanley who wrote the book “Unassisted Childbirth” and runs the site www.unassistedchildbirth.com. The concept of not using a doctor or midwife at all makes so much sense when you come to terms with the fact that a woman’s body already knows how to give birth and will [...]
Notice how the supine birthing position (on the back) aims the babies head at the poor mother’s tail bone. Tail bones are often broken by unnatural forced pushing while in this ridiculous position. Always remember that other than standing on your head, the supine position is the worst position for the mother and [...]
Although this is not a particularly traumatic hospital birth, any time a woman is on her back, she is positioning for the benefit of the hospital staff, not her baby or herself. Delivering a baby on your back (supine) is always the worst position for childbirth (other than standing on your head).
Now this is natural childbirth. This is a beautiful waterbirth. Notice how effortlessly the baby comes out when the mom is not on her back. Always remember that a supine (on the back) position is the absolute worst position to give birth in. Women are on their backs for the benefit of hospital [...]
This is another great example of why unassisted childbirth is best for mother and child.
This is a short, silent clip of another hospital birth video. Hospital childbirths are always disturbing and here is another great example. First of all, notice the birthing position. The poor mother is nothing more than a vagina [...]
Here is a nice short c section video to add to our childbirth video library. It is very clear from this c section video that a cesarean section is not simple or painless. It is major abdominal surgery. Just because the mother is anesthetized, does not mean she will not suffer the [...]
This poor baby. His mother butchered so he can be dragged from his uterine home. He is exposed to harsh light, dragged out by his head and then carried away, cold and scared, into the arms of strangers while mom looks on helplessly.
Today is the last day of April and the last day of [...]
