Video:An Almost Perfect Childbirth
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 medical [...]
Video:Unassisted Childbirth
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 do [...]
Video: Natural Waterbirth
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 personnel and [...]
Video: Unassisted Childbirth Testimonial
Many unassisted and midwife assisted homebirths are preceded by a traumatic hospital birth. First time moms are often more naive, innocent and trusting of the “system”. They come out of the hospital traumatized from a violent birth that either blasted their baby from their body with chemicals or sliced their baby from their womb. Other [...]
Video: Ecstatic Childbirth Video
I don’t normally care for childbirth videos that are taken from between mom’s legs while she is lying down. For one thing, it cements the idea in the viewer’s head that this is an appropriate position for childbirth, when it is actually the worst. Secondly, it is normally demeaning, degrading and objectifying to women as [...]
Video: Natural Waterbirth
This is a lovely waterbirth video from YouTube. Notice how the noises the mother is making sound much more pleasurable than the agonizing moans you hear from most mothers who choose the medical model of childbirth. While this waterbirth does have a midwife in attendance, the midwife seems to do a fairly decent job of [...]
Video: Facts About Childbirth
The Business of Birthing This is a short video listing facts and information about the benefits of homebirth and the statistics related to unnecessary procedures and interventions used in the medical model of childbirth.
Doulas on The Today Show
Doulas are an absolutely wonderful addition to the modern, medical birthing environment. They are proven to reduce a number of unnecessary interventions, including cesarean. They offer emotional support and in many instances, doulas will gently remind a woman who is being coerced into unnecessary procedures about her original intentions and birth plan. Doctors (and CNMs) [...]
Video: An Unassisted Childbirth
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 womb of your mother screaming in agony only to be dragged away by the latex gloved hands of strangers? Its [...]
