I am currently due to have mu son soon. It'll be a cold day in hell anyone on here judges me for the type birth I have. I would put some of you in your place for your not so necessary comments if this was my video.
This is not the birth of someone who's epidural had worn off. I had a fully natural birth with my 3rd. You don't sit there and have a chat with everyone during delivery. This is obvious to anyone who has had a REAL unmedicated birth.
This is not natural. Just because your epidural stopped working doesn't make the birth natural seeing as the drugs are still in your body and in your babies.
you're doing good when the epidural wore off. I had my first 2 100% natural, I thought I was going to die from the pain. Now I'm pregnant with twins and I want to do the same thing. I figure if they could do it without pain meds in the old days, I can do it too! Ahh, the joys of child birth!
For someone who says the epidural had worn off, it looks like mom till had to be told to PUSH PUSH. Meanwhile the 1st baby is alone when should be in dads arms.
@MagyckMama BREECH does NOT have to be a c-section for gods sake. Distress is brought on by epidural then pitocin causing hard contractions & THAT equals excuses to do c-sections.
@MagyckMama BREECH does NOT REQUIRE C-SECTION! Only transverse does. Or excess bleeding. Distress is CAUSED by epidural/pitocin caused hard contractions. Hence-those drugs CAUSE C-sections.
All I have to say is your a brave woman and I say it was natural. Just because you had an epidural or other drugs doesn't mean that a vaginal delivery is all of a sudden not natural. I'm not dissing people who have had c-sections though because that's how I was born. Thanks for the post it's reasons like this I want to be an OB/GYN.
My daughter had twin boys in Oct 7, 1998, she gave vaginal birth to both of them. one was born at 6:00pm the other at 6:05pm Adrian and Fabian are doing good. And look so much alike. At one time we show Adrian a picture and he said "look at how handsome I look" not knowing it was Fabian's picture. we all laugh and told him it's funny how you cannot even tell yourself apart from your twin brother.
Delivered my first child, 8lb 2 oz, without even a Tylenol. My twins were vaginal deliveries without drugs. The pain is only temporary, and nothing compared to the joy of babies!
@jadoredashboard Well, I signed the consent for it knowing that was pretty standard. On the day I was going to pick him up from the hospital it suddenly hit me that this was MY son and they would be actually be CUTTING the skin of his penis while he was strapped down to a board. I freaked out, called the hospital to stop it, but the nurse told me he just got back from having it done. I felt awful. He was so tiny and it killed me that I let him go through that.
@juliemagdalene I know it seems horrible to think of your child or any child being cut on. Most babies sleep through the procedure or only cry during the lidocaine injection that is giving to numb the penis. I have assisted with many circumcisions and have noticed that the worst part for the infant is being strapped down....that's the part that they hate the most...but the procedure is usually about 5-10 minutes...and I scoop them up as soon as the doc is through and swaddle them with TLC.
You're son will be fine, be thankful your children were born healthy and are a part of your lives. The circumcision arguement is really secondary compared to the overall well being of your son. Too many people these days cant see the forest through the trees....
@300300ish Yes, I delivered them in the OR in case something happened. If there was suddenly an emergency, I'd already be in the OR so they could start a c section immediately.
Do hospitals or home midwives even allow women to give birth to twins vaginally? Every time I hear of anyone having twins they always have a C-section. It seems like they just automatically tell you that you have to have one with multiple births.
@acidstars9 I think many doctors would much rather do a c section because it's easier. That combined with women who just figure they have to have a c section with twins makes vaginal twin birth less common. I communicated with my doctors early and often about this. I knew as long as both were head down and neither were in distress and I was healthy, there was no reason to have a c section. Women just need to research it for themselves and speak up to their doctors!
@acidstars9 there is not a reason in the world for not doing it naturally unless there are medical concerns not to do so, and,on top of it all, it is the MOTHERS choice before anyone elses if she wants to do it naturally or would like to have a c-section (again unless there a medical reasons for a C-Section)
This woman's epi took somewhat! She has her hands behind her back like she's relaxed! lol! She'd be screaming like I was!!! You don't get trophies for having a natural childbirth, I don't know why she's claiming she did! Congrats to her though!
@KarChow1 Most women don't scream during childbirth. Every woman labors and delivers differently. Nothing hurt between contractions. When I did have a contraction I pushed. No screaming, no losing control. I'm not looking for accolades, I shared this video to show women an actual vaginal twin birth and when I posted it, there were no other videos of a real time vaginal birth.
This should be called "vaginal birth of twins," not natural... The epidural does effect babies, even if it wears off by the time they're born! Vaginal does NOT equal natural... would you give birth this same way with your next baby? Were you happy with your experience, with everyone screaming at you and not being able to have full control and choose the best position for pushing? I'm just curious because I know that I would not be happy with this experience if it were me...
@katlew82 I didn't like my legs in stirrups pushing on my back in the OR. But that was the safest place for the babies. I loved everyone cheering me on because they were my friends and coworkers. I can't understand why so many comments on the video are so critical and so many women here make childbirth a competition. I didn't post this video to showcase the ideal birth experience. I posted it to show you don't HAVE to automatically have a c section with twins.
@juliemagdalene Definitely not trying to make childbirth a competition- Congratulations on the birth of your babies! I just have an issue with it being called a "natural birth of twins..." I was pregnant at the time I watched this, and when I'm pregnant, I love watching real natural childbirth in preparation for my own- it was a let down to click on "natural birth of twins" and have it not be so. That's all! Also didn't seem like cheering, more like commanding and yelling but to each her own!
@samandoliver I watched it again, and the only thing I see going on is that I was kind of holding on to my son. They took him away right away, so I had to get as much touching in as I could.
while the term "natural" often simply means vaginal these days...it is pretty misleading in this video. an unmedicated childbirth wouldn't have exposed those babies to any drugs. that is natural.
That would really get on my nerve five ppl telling me to push! DAMN let her concentrate. Yo she owned that labor, she pushed them right on out! Congrats :-)
That poor woman! What a horrible birth experience! To women watching this who have never given birth--this is NOT the way it should be and is NOT the wasy it normally is! That one nurse I wanted to strangle--all those people telling her to push! Thank goodness my hospital was NOTHING like that!
and that works both ways, the other thing is we should not feel guilty at all. We are the informed consummer here. the problem I see is that most of the birthing population are not informed. and they do no matter what the doctor asks of them.
Epidurals do many things to the birth process: it's slows labor, makes it harder for you to push effectively which increases the need for other interventions, does not allow you the freedom to move and position for birth, on your back your pelvis narrows making it more difficult for the passage through the canal, the caine drugs pass through the placenta...if a mom weights 140 and the baby weighs 7 pounds the baby can receive 20 time the effect of the drug,
I did one birth naturally -- not even an IV -- but there is no reason in the world to endure that kind of pain. With my second birth, I had an epidural and loved it. The epidural is the greatest invention -- ever.
what is important is that you have a choice. And it is a shame that it is a lot harder to have a birth these days without all the interventions. if you can have "your epirual" why can't others have and easy time of it declining an epidural or arom and IV
@PamelaClare that is a personal opinion, LOTS of women would tell you that epidurals are absolutely horrible, detrimental to mothers and babys bonding, potentially very dangerous, and the quickest way to slow down or stall a labour.
@edaj84 Yes, it is. So is the notion that women should find birth pain acceptable. Here are the facts of my own personal experience: My birth with an epidural was much better than the one without. My natural birth was a total nightmare. My active labor with the epidural: 2 hours. Baby and I bonded like gold. All I'm saying is that women should be free to choose what they want for their births without being pushed by anyone: doctors or the "pain is good" crowd. Women shouldn't have to suffer.
@PamelaClare as long as when they are making those decisions they are informed of all of the physical risks to mother and baby and are also aware of the huge psychological risks that many women have experienced.
and who says you have to have pain during childbirth with or without drugs? Childbirth has been described by many as an orgasmic experience.
@edaj84 Of course, women need to be informed. But give them facts not fear-mongering. A Canadian studied showed that about 7 percent of women suffer from post-traumatic stress syndrome after giving birth due in large part to the level of pain they suffered. When I posted, I simply wished to share my own experience. Had an epidural. Loved it. No bad side effects. I would never give birth without one. That is my CHOICE. You can choose do do what you want. Cool, eh?
@PamelaClare I just wonder whether that study even looked at the women who suffered PTSD/PPD as a result of being given pain medication that they either didn't consent to or were co-erced into accepting?
And I don't think that women are given the full information, a lot of the time women go into birth intending to go natural so don't even REALLY research the meds, and then when they are used during birth a) the bare essentials are told and b) often nothing is understood by the labouring woman
@edaj84 The study looked at ALL women who had childbirth related PTSD. There's not enough done on mothers' birth trauma. I believe doctors/hospitals contribute to it with their pushiness and list of interventions. But pain clearly does, too. I did my research and chose a midwife birth with an epidural -- best of both worlds. Yes, women need to be educated ahead of time, not during labor, about all of their options, and they need to be empowered to choose what works for them.
@PamelaClare I would say that a large portion of that birth trauma is caused by Drs (and in some cases midwives) humiliating and violating women, doing things to them that they didn't consent to, doing things without telling them what it is and why and what the risk/benefit is, without telling them of the potential cascade of interventions, and making them feel that birth is something that needs to be medically managed and not a natural bodily function (most of the time)
@edaj84 That's not what the study concluded, but I'm sure that the almost military nature of hospitals' treatment of women plays a role in it. I'm as opposed to those things as you are. However, for me, pain was the negative factor, and I chose an epidural the second time around in a very informed way. No one pushed it on me. I demanded it and signed the paperwork *before* I went into labor. Unmedicated birth isn't for everyone. I did it once, and it was one of the *worst* days of my life.
@PamelaClare I have not had an epidural, nor do I ever want one, I have had 2 children and neither time did I want to stick a huge needle into my spine. For one birth I had gas and a shot of pethidine and that birth was FAR worse than my midwife assisted homebirth. Just that change of environment reduced the pain 100 fold.
Women should be free to choose, it is their birth not mine. Just as they should be able to choose an elective c-section (I think you would have to be insane to want one)
@PamelaClare I agree. I actually got the epidural before any pitocin or contractions. My plan was to feel absolutely nothing. That didn't work out so well when it was time to push, but THANK GOD I didn't feel any of the contractions through the night. I'm the first to admit I'm a wimp.
Ok I know that but...then doctors should use different methods to ease the birth....to make it a relief...then women would be not afraid of giving birth(Ok not all have fear but many of them)
Some kind of super painkillers should be invented then...which would not make women paralyzed even if administered wrong.....for their sake:-)))
@wannaknowit why? childbirth doesn't have to be painful, many women report experiencing orgasm during birth, pretty sure that wouldn't happen if you were in pain.
I guess women should deserve(even when they give natural vaginal birth)some brutal painkiller which would make all kinds of births absolutely PAIN FREE!I do not know why women dont get an epidural(in case of natural vaginal birth giving) It should not be painful !!!
@juliemagdalene but an epidural is something that every midwife should be discouraging. The idea of a midwife is to not mess with birth, to be hands off, to not intervene, to not do 5 million checks and administer every drug that you have at your disposal purely because you can.
@juliemagdalene No matter what the chances are it can still happen. I don't know a single woman personally who's gotten an epidural that doesn't now suffer from odd side effects. Why risk all that just for a few hours even a day of pain? It's not trying to scare people we're educating from the OTHER SIDE.
@juliemagdalene If you're that 1 out of the 150,000, then statistics don't mean a whole lot. I know I'm not using an epidural next time. I tried that last time and hated it.
Admire your composure: I would have felt just a little pressured, bringing the second one while the first yelled for attention. Congratulations on your
Before women were ever brought into hospital to give birth, they had their babies at home and were cared for by other women who were close to them. They had the freedom to move around, eat, and deliver their babies when and how their bodies decided. Many women still desire that and want to labor and deliver in the quiet comfort of their homes with whoever they choose to surround themselves with, attended to by another woman (the midwife).
@juliemagdalene we can't keep living on stone age when everything else has changed, those days there was no epidural just like there was no anaesthesia, if you got any accident hey would stitch you up with no form of pain supression. this should be a choice not a campain, if you like the pain go for it, if you don't go for epidural.

A quick comment to women who view this. My goal going to nursing school was to become a midwife. Women with women,mom's freedom in labor,etc. It's the way it should be. Midwives are highly skilled specialists, and come equipped with IV's,meds,oxygen,etc. Everything that could go wrong is anticipated and planned for before the birth. It was just my personal choice to deliver in hospital because an induction at 37 weeks when neither the babies or my body was ready WILL result in trouble.
it's insane! that lady is a hero! to give birth among 3 yelling hitlers! as if she needs more stress: 'com-on, com-on, do it!' it's not a baseball game:( i am 10 weeks pregnant and hope i will get better personnel to assist me during labour.
That would drive me absolutely nuts to have all those people screaming at me (I know they're not being that way on purpose, just to me personally the sound of it just grates me the wrong way). One of the many, many reasons I am having a homebirth with a midwife. They tell you to push but they are all about a pleasurable birth experience and avoid being annoying!
both sides of me and my fiances family has twins. id be happy with one or 2 babies. it happens. and i will love them either way!! great job holding it together. you did great!
I think you did an AMAZING job......i was like you and was sooooo calm throughout my whole labour (10 hours, 2 hours pushing) and i had NO pain relief at all. Midwives commented on how "quiet" i was!!! I did it with one baby and i could not imagine what you went through doing it with 2... I bet your family and friends are so proud of the way you held it together :)
im so scared to get pregnant,.and 1 thing,.i have 5 years old twin brothers to my mom's family,and 3 years old both boys to my dad's family.,do you think there's a possibility that i will have twin babies in the future???...;(,
Congratulations on doing a great job and having two twins! This is the first video i've watched with a real twin delivery. Im very curious as this is my first pregnancy and I am too pregnant with twins! I'm so excited and scared.. Thanks for posting your video it really helped.
My gracious... I want to wrap your nurse & friend up and take her home with me. All nurses shoud have a heart for what they do.....as she does. She's so wonderful.
batchatawild, maybe you cannot handle pain as good as her? not everyone is like you you know there is no need to be so rude! i was ok giving birth actually the midwife said i was a model patient and my mum said i actually made it look easy! the pain is terrible but not everyone screams! i kept all the screming inside and just pushed with what energy i would of used to scream. so again before you start being so rude just think hey!
vickybabe first of all am not being rude to juliemagdalene.And in fact I handled it pretty well.And read what JULIEMAGDALENE replyed to my comment may be a logic explanation to why she felt some comfort. Meaning that when she started pushing she did have some numming med still in her system.I can tell you because I have studied medicine and for the leghnth of time that she says she had the EPIDORAL up until she was put on the O R table she still had some amount of pain med in her system.
I've dabbled in a little medicine, too. In fact, I'm a practicing RN and was a Labor and Delivery nurse for 4 years. That's how I know how to spell epidural and why I refer to the nurses and physician in the video as my friends and coworkers. Oh, and that's me in the video giving birth. Is there anything else you'd like to share with us about pain and pain relief in childbirth, batchawild? TRUMP
Was this taped from a T.V. or something...And am pretty sure this chick had an Epidora or something for the pain because I am a mother of 4 beautiful kids and I had them all natural vaginal birth and with no pain medication and trust me I still remember that pain and I know first hand you will not be this calm.
Yes, it was taped from tv. We recorded it on 8mm tape so I had to play that on the tv and record it with the digital camera to be able to upload it. To explain again, I had an EPIDURAL for labor overnight, which was wonderful. When I transferred to the OR table, the epidural pulled out, and I spent 1 1/2 hrs pushing without pain relief. Not what I had planned, but every woman's labor and delivery experience is different. Some women scream, some women don't. There is no right way.
I am a midwife & these babies were taken away from mum screaming their lungs out for skin to skin! why move the babies from their mum when it is obvious they are OK but just need mum!!! GIVE THEM BACK!! HELLO ANYBODY THERE???!!!
this video is just another reason i will be using a mid wife... if i had my husband and mom and nurses and a doctor yelling at me to push push push push push you can do it push... i would want to SCREAM! your body knows exactly what to do... it was MADE for this kinda thing actually! but good job and congrats on your beautiful babies :)
The people surrounding me were my coworkers and dear friends. I had worked with them in labor and delivery for 4 years. They were so happy and excited for us, and that's what you see in the video when they're yelling to push. The nurse in the video was like my 2nd mom, and I NEEDED her to encourage me. I was scared and felt my body being ripped apart. I wouldn't change a thing about that birth experience. Except maybe the whole pain thing! ;)
@EllenJeanie There's another consideration. Most hospitals will make you lie down on your back to deliver. That is absolutely the worst position. They do this because it is more convenient for the doctor. Any position where you are sitting up is easier for you because the gravity helps. Water births are also great, since the water helps relax the mother and is less traumatic for the baby.
im sorry....but gutted open to take my child out because it was a breech??? natural birth...on meds or not on meds...it came out of your VAGINA....that's natural to me. my mom was a breech and they didn't gut my grandma open for her. NATURAL ALL THE WAY. healthiest one in the family at that. CHEERS MOM!
I had one child (my first) all natural, without any pain medications or epidural. At the time the whole "natural birth" issue was being pushed. It was very painful, and I had back labor. It felt like my spine was going to split in half. I was so miserable. Then when I had my second child I elected for epidural. Which was the best thing ever! I actually enjoyed the birth of my second child! I And be able to enjoy the time after the birth with my family,
I'm a lactation consultant and midwife. I don't call this natural birth - mum on her back, in stirrups, everyone shouting at her, baby taken away and screaming for ages because she needs to be skin to skin with Dad (as Mum isn't available to her). Birth doesn't have to be like this.
Are you kidding me? What is a "natural" childbirth to you? All alone out in the woods? You can't get anymore natural than that. Pain meds are a personal choice no one HAS to have them. How should she have birthed, at home on her bed? Perhaps with a midwife such as yourself to help her along the way. But what if something went wrong? How far from the nearest ER / NICU would she be? And what can a midwife do to save the life of the infant and/or the mother in case something unexpected does occurs?
Actually my mother lost both my baby sisters at home with a mid-wife by her side. Her pregnancy was normal everything seemed okay. She was considered low-risk so opted to stay home. Labor progressed rapidly and something went wrong unfortunately neither one of the baby girls could be saved. No amount of money in the the world could repay the loss my mother endured.
Thank you for this comment. My babies safety and my safety come before my feelings on the birth experience. On the surface, things didn't seem risky. Both head down, no distress. But I thank my lucky stars that they were born right where they were. What the video doesn't show is my son in resp distress, and my severe postpartum hemmorhage because of 2 retained placentas. What followed was general anesthesia, a D&C, and 3 blood transfusions. What would I have done if I was at home? Scary.
@TheYTbiatch Natural would mean, a natural birthing position, no epi, no IV, no CFM
If something unexpected occurs the midwife can administer clotting drugs, can resuscitate a baby, can do fundal massage, can call an ambulance, can resuscitate a mum, can in all but the most huge emergencies (ie those that would result in hospital as well) stabilise the mother and baby until a transfer can be effected.
I am currently pregnant with twins and I am unusually terrified. I say this because I have had 2 children already and both were delivered naturally without meds. So, I know the true pain of childbirth. For some reason I am expecting pain beyond comprehension when my twins are born. Word.
It's really not considered a "natural birth" You had an epidural, in the hospital, flat on your back with a bunch of nurses that you probably never met before. With your feet up in stirrups. You most definitely would have enjoyed it more with the freedom to move around. Just letting you know for next time.
I agree, to me this is not a natural birth for the reasons you described. But alot of people consider a vaginal birth to be a natural birth, especially since twins are often delivered via C-section. BUt I do see what you mean, I feel the same way.
Thanks for not being offended by my comment. I was really tired and had just watched a bunch of abortion videos and was pretty frustrated. I had one of my children in the hospital almost exactly as you had your twins. Then I had my last one in my backyard in a birthing pool. The difference was so amazingly wonderful. So calm and beautiful. I think it is wonderful though that you had them vaginally. Surgery had so many risks. God bless you and your little angels.
Good job mom, I also had a VBAC for my first son was almost 10lbs. Im only 5ft. I chose to stay home aslong as I could for the second to attempt natural and I did, two seperetate times, with 9lbs boys. You did well...
wao!!!j'ai 3enfants,mais en regardant ces videos,je me rend compte que l'accouchement est vraiment difficile et tres douloureux,la femme souffre en donnant la vie,elle merite le respect et l'amour!!!!
Totally UNNATURAL natural birth, unnatural, environment, support people yelling, birth attendant putting his hands THERE constantly and first twin crying in the background. How sad that you think this is normal.
I know what you are trying to say. I think this was called "natural" because she delivered them vaginally. But I do agree with your point. A natural childbirth would not be in a hospital under those awful lights... and mom or dad would have their children first... not the docs and nurses.
Child birth...the worst, yet easily forgotten pain in the world. Take the worst cramp you ever had, imagine it from neck to knees, constant. Triple it, then multiply it by a hundred. Add being unable to breathe, all the while thinking you are about to die, and at the same time trying to shit a bowling ball - and you are about half way to understanding the pain.
Oh god i think youve just summed it up for me :) and your comment although crude did make me smile when vieiwng something quite serious! lol :) Im only 23 but i would like my first child by the time i was 30 (if im lucky to have it that is). The woman in this video did extremely well.
Congratulations, I have had all My 3 births naturally and drug free and my little girl thats due in 12 weeks will be the same...I think each and every woman has a choice whether she wants to have drugs or not, doesnt make you any less of a woman if you choose not to..There are alot of women out there that can not endure pain or the thought of it...I have been luck with all my three, and had little pain, so Im damn lucky..Congrats once again , well done Great video.
Honey you are so wrong. Coaching does not make a birth any less natural. It just means that she has support from her family. Obviously you did not sweetheart. I do agree about the epidural not making it natural. Women out there in America everyone's body is not the same so there fore our bodies can not endure the same type of pain. My mother had a c-section with my brother and natural birth with me and my sister.
I will have all the drugs I can get. I can not take pain and that does not mean i will love my child any less. It's sad when women thank they are better than another from the way they birth babies. Take a Liberal Arts course dealing with women and society roles you'll understand why this saddens me. Why can't we compete about something else maybe education (just a thought). Is the only thing left for us to do is birth babies and talk about other women birthing babies. Thank You so very much!!!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Birthing was the most powerful and empowering moments of my life. If you feel that education is the only way for you to become a more empowered women then thats fine, but don't criticize what other people are proud of, particularly if you don't have any experience in the area. I have taken womens studies course and I still feel that giving birth is a privilege that we are lucky to have as women, no matter how it takes place.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
To teahallaokay
Oh and people talk about their births because they are proud of themselves, not to compete with other mothers or to devalue others choices. Birth doesn't have to be painful, there is alot of negative propaganda out there that says it is but they also used to think the world was flat. Maybe drugs are the best choice for you, if you think you can't do it then you're probably right. Until you have a birth experience of your own you won't understand what makes it important.
ARTUROMCPANTS... you are mistaken I didn't say that birth was a bad thing to talk about...you need to read the other comments on here before you can understand what saddens me...the women were telling the women who posted this video that because she did not have a natural birth that she was less of mother... that is what saddens me the most...not the joy or the bond these women are sharing through the birthing process...before you criticise understand what im talking about....Thanks
One theory is that I was moved from a labor bed to an OR table, and during the transfer from bed to bed, the epidural catheter pulled out of place. The other possibility is that I had so much dependant edema in my back, swelling under my skin, as I lay in the labor bed, that the catheter was pulled out of place from the swelling, since the catheter is secured using tape to the skin at the epidural site.
I am currently due to have mu son soon. It'll be a cold day in hell anyone on here judges me for the type birth I have. I would put some of you in your place for your not so necessary comments if this was my video.

This is not the birth of someone who's epidural had worn off. I had a fully natural birth with my 3rd. You don't sit there and have a chat with everyone during delivery. This is obvious to anyone who has had a REAL unmedicated birth.
misstattooedbliss 1 month ago
This is not natural. Just because your epidural stopped working doesn't make the birth natural seeing as the drugs are still in your body and in your babies.

you're doing good when the epidural wore off. I had my first 2 100% natural, I thought I was going to die from the pain. Now I'm pregnant with twins and I want to do the same thing. I figure if they could do it without pain meds in the old days, I can do it too! Ahh, the joys of child birth!

Most of the time a C-section is only required if both babies are breech or in distress.
MagyckMama 9 months ago
@MagyckMama BREECH does NOT have to be a c-section for gods sake. Distress is brought on by epidural then pitocin causing hard contractions & THAT equals excuses to do c-sections.
Capri195555 8 months ago
@MagyckMama BREECH does NOT REQUIRE C-SECTION! Only transverse does. Or excess bleeding. Distress is CAUSED by epidural/pitocin caused hard contractions. Hence-those drugs CAUSE C-sections.
Capri195555 8 months ago
All I have to say is your a brave woman and I say it was natural. Just because you had an epidural or other drugs doesn't mean that a vaginal delivery is all of a sudden not natural. I'm not dissing people who have had c-sections though because that's how I was born. Thanks for the post it's reasons like this I want to be an OB/GYN.

My daughter had twin boys in Oct 7, 1998, she gave vaginal birth to both of them. one was born at 6:00pm the other at 6:05pm Adrian and Fabian are doing good. And look so much alike. At one time we show Adrian a picture and he said "look at how handsome I look" not knowing it was Fabian's picture. we all laugh and told him it's funny how you cannot even tell yourself apart from your twin brother.

@jadoredashboard Well, I signed the consent for it knowing that was pretty standard. On the day I was going to pick him up from the hospital it suddenly hit me that this was MY son and they would be actually be CUTTING the skin of his penis while he was strapped down to a board. I freaked out, called the hospital to stop it, but the nurse told me he just got back from having it done. I felt awful. He was so tiny and it killed me that I let him go through that.
juliemagdalene 10 months ago
@juliemagdalene I know it seems horrible to think of your child or any child being cut on. Most babies sleep through the procedure or only cry during the lidocaine injection that is giving to numb the penis. I have assisted with many circumcisions and have noticed that the worst part for the infant is being strapped down....that's the part that they hate the most...but the procedure is usually about 5-10 minutes...and I scoop them up as soon as the doc is through and swaddle them with TLC.

You're son will be fine, be thankful your children were born healthy and are a part of your lives. The circumcision arguement is really secondary compared to the overall well being of your son. Too many people these days cant see the forest through the trees....

Is that in the OR?
300300ish 10 months ago
@300300ish Yes, I delivered them in the OR in case something happened. If there was suddenly an emergency, I'd already be in the OR so they could start a c section immediately.
juliemagdalene 10 months ago
Do hospitals or home midwives even allow women to give birth to twins vaginally? Every time I hear of anyone having twins they always have a C-section. It seems like they just automatically tell you that you have to have one with multiple births.
acidstars9 11 months ago
@acidstars9 I think many doctors would much rather do a c section because it's easier. That combined with women who just figure they have to have a c section with twins makes vaginal twin birth less common. I communicated with my doctors early and often about this. I knew as long as both were head down and neither were in distress and I was healthy, there was no reason to have a c section. Women just need to research it for themselves and speak up to their doctors!

@acidstars9 My best friend was 15 and gave birth to twin boys 3 min apart. It was natural. Not ever an epidural.
mama61688 10 months ago
@acidstars9 there is not a reason in the world for not doing it naturally unless there are medical concerns not to do so, and,on top of it all, it is the MOTHERS choice before anyone elses if she wants to do it naturally or would like to have a c-section (again unless there a medical reasons for a C-Section)

@KarChow1 Most women don't scream during childbirth. Every woman labors and delivers differently. Nothing hurt between contractions. When I did have a contraction I pushed. No screaming, no losing control. I'm not looking for accolades, I shared this video to show women an actual vaginal twin birth and when I posted it, there were no other videos of a real time vaginal birth.
juliemagdalene 10 months ago
This should be called "vaginal birth of twins," not natural... The epidural does effect babies, even if it wears off by the time they're born! Vaginal does NOT equal natural... would you give birth this same way with your next baby? Were you happy with your experience, with everyone screaming at you and not being able to have full control and choose the best position for pushing? I'm just curious because I know that I would not be happy with this experience if it were me...

@katlew82 I didn't like my legs in stirrups pushing on my back in the OR. But that was the safest place for the babies. I loved everyone cheering me on because they were my friends and coworkers.

dramadoula 2 years ago
Epidurals do many things to the birth process: it's slows labor, makes it harder for you to push effectively which increases the need for other interventions, does not allow you the freedom to move and position for birth, on your back your pelvis narrows making it more difficult for the passage through the canal, the caine drugs pass through the placenta...if a mom weights 140 and the baby weighs 7 pounds the baby can receive 20 time the effect of the drug,
stupidemail998 2 years ago 2
I did one birth naturally -- not even an IV -- but there is no reason in the world to endure that kind of pain. With my second birth, I had an epidural and loved it. The epidural is the greatest invention -- ever.

what is important is that you have a choice. And it is a shame that it is a lot harder to have a birth these days without all the interventions. if you can have "your epirual" why can't others have and easy time of it declining an epidural or arom and IV
dramadoula 2 years ago
@PamelaClare that is a personal opinion, LOTS of women would tell you that epidurals are absolutely horrible, detrimental to mothers and babys bonding, potentially very dangerous, and the quickest way to slow down or stall a labour.
edaj84 1 year ago
@edaj84 Yes, it is. So is the notion that women should find birth pain acceptable. Here are the facts of my own personal experience: My birth with an epidural was much better than the one without. My natural birth was a total nightmare. My active labor with the epidural: 2 hours. Baby and I bonded like gold. All I'm saying is that women should be free to choose what they want for their births without being pushed by anyone: doctors or the "pain is good" crowd. Women shouldn't have to suffer.
PamelaClare 1 year ago
@PamelaClare as long as when they are making those decisions they are informed of all of the physical risks to mother and baby and are also aware of the huge psychological risks that many women have experienced.
and who says you have to have pain during childbirth with or without drugs? Childbirth has been described by many as an orgasmic experience.
edaj84 1 year ago
@edaj84 Of course, women need to be informed. But give them facts not fear-mongering. A Canadian studied showed that about 7 percent of women suffer from post-traumatic stress syndrome after giving birth due in large part to the level of pain they suffered. When I posted, I simply wished to share my own experience. Had an epidural. Loved it. No bad side effects. I would never give birth without one. That is my CHOICE. You can choose do do what you want. Cool, eh?
PamelaClare 1 year ago
@PamelaClare I just wonder whether that study even looked at the women who suffered PTSD/PPD as a result of being given pain medication that they either didn't consent to or were co-erced into accepting?
And I don't think that women are given the full information, a lot of the time women go into birth intending to go natural so don't even REALLY research the meds, and then when they are used during birth a) the bare essentials are told and b) often nothing is understood by the labouring woman
edaj84 1 year ago
@edaj84 The study looked at ALL women who had childbirth related PTSD. There's not enough done on mothers' birth trauma. I believe doctors/hospitals contribute to it with their pushiness and list of interventions. But pain clearly does, too. I did my research and chose a midwife birth with an epidural -- best of both worlds. Yes, women need to be educated ahead of time, not during labor, about all of their options, and they need to be empowered to choose what works for them.
PamelaClare 1 year ago
@PamelaClare I would say that a large portion of that birth trauma is caused by Drs (and in some cases midwives) humiliating and violating women, doing things to them that they didn't consent to, doing things without telling them what it is and why and what the risk/benefit is, without telling them of the potential cascade of interventions, and making them feel that birth is something that needs to be medically managed and not a natural bodily function (most of the time)
edaj84 1 year ago
@edaj84 That's not what the study concluded, but I'm sure that the almost military nature of hospitals' treatment of women plays a role in it. I'm as opposed to those things as you are. However, for me, pain was the negative factor, and I chose an epidural the second time around in a very informed way. No one pushed it on me. I demanded it and signed the paperwork *before* I went into labor. Unmedicated birth isn't for everyone. I did it once, and it was one of the *worst* days of my life.
PamelaClare 1 year ago
@PamelaClare I have not had an epidural, nor do I ever want one, I have had 2 children and neither time did I want to stick a huge needle into my spine. For one birth I had gas and a shot of pethidine and that birth was FAR worse than my midwife assisted homebirth. Just that change of environment reduced the pain 100 fold.
Women should be free to choose, it is their birth not mine. Just as they should be able to choose an elective c-section (I think you would have to be insane to want one)
edaj84 1 year ago
@PamelaClare I agree. I actually got the epidural before any pitocin or contractions. My plan was to feel absolutely nothing. That didn't work out so well when it was time to push, but THANK GOD I didn't feel any of the contractions through the night. I'm the first to admit I'm a wimp.

@juliemagdalene but an epidural is something that every midwife should be discouraging. The idea of a midwife is to not mess with birth, to be hands off, to not intervene, to not do 5 million checks and administer every drug that you have at your disposal purely because you can.

@juliemagdalene No matter what the chances are it can still happen. I don't know a single woman personally who's gotten an epidural that doesn't now suffer from odd side effects.

Before women were ever brought into hospital to give birth, they had their babies at home and were cared for by other women who were close to them. They had the freedom to move around, eat, and deliver their babies when and how their bodies decided. Many women still desire that and want to labor and deliver in the quiet comfort of their homes with whoever they choose to surround themselves with, attended to by another woman (the midwife).

@juliemagdalene we can't keep living on stone age when everything else has changed, those days there was no epidural just like there was no anaesthesia, if you got any accident hey would stitch you up with no form of pain supression. this should be a choice not a campain, if you like the pain go for it, if you don't go for epidural.

A quick comment to women who view this. My goal going to nursing school was to become a midwife. Women with women,mom's freedom in labor,etc. It's the way it should be. Midwives are highly skilled specialists, and come equipped with IV's,meds,oxygen,etc. Everything that could go wrong is anticipated and planned for before the birth. It was just my personal choice to deliver in hospital because an induction at 37 weeks when neither the babies or my body was ready WILL result in trouble.

Yes, it was taped from tv. We recorded it on 8mm tape so I had to play that on the tv and record it with the digital camera to be able to upload it. To explain again, I had an EPIDURAL for labor overnight, which was wonderful. When I transferred to the OR table, the epidural pulled out, and I spent 1 1/2 hrs pushing without pain relief. Not what I had planned, but every woman's labor and delivery experience is different. Some women scream, some women don't. There is no right way.

The people surrounding me were my coworkers and dear friends. I had worked with them in labor and delivery for 4 years.

I was scared and felt my body being ripped apart. I wouldn't change a thing about that birth experience. Except maybe the whole pain thing! ;)
juliemagdalene 2 years ago
@EllenJeanie There's another consideration. Most hospitals will make you lie down on your back to deliver. That is absolutely the worst position. They do this because it is more convenient for the doctor. Any position where you are sitting up is easier for you because the gravity helps. Water births are also great, since the water helps relax the mother and is less traumatic for the baby.

I'm a lactation consultant and midwife. I don't call this natural birth - mum on her back, in stirrups, everyone shouting at her, baby taken away and screaming for ages because she needs to be skin to skin with Dad (as Mum isn't available to her). Birth doesn't have to be like this.
Fit2Bust 2 years ago 6
Are you kidding me? What is a "natural" childbirth to you? All alone out in the woods? You can't get anymore natural than that. Pain meds are a personal choice no one HAS to have them. How should she have birthed, at home on her bed? Perhaps with a midwife such as yourself to help her along the way. But what if something went wrong? How far from the nearest ER / NICU would she be? And what can a midwife do to save the life of the infant and/or the mother in case something unexpected does occurs?

Actually my mother lost both my baby sisters at home with a mid-wife by her side. Her pregnancy was normal everything seemed okay. She was considered low-risk so opted to stay home. Labor progressed rapidly and something went wrong unfortunately neither one of the baby girls could be saved. No amount of money in the the world could repay the loss my mother endured.
TheYTbiatch 2 years ago
Thank you for this comment. My babies safety and my safety come before my feelings on the birth experience. On the surface, things didn't seem risky. Both head down, no distress. But I thank my lucky stars that they were born right where they were. What the video doesn't show is my son in resp distress, and my severe postpartum hemmorhage because of 2 retained placentas. What followed was general anesthesia, a D&C, and 3 blood transfusions. What would I have done if I was at home? Scary.
juliemagdalene 2 years ago
@TheYTbiatch Natural would mean, a natural birthing position, no epi, no IV, no CFM
If something unexpected occurs the midwife can administer clotting drugs, can resuscitate a baby, can do fundal massage, can call an ambulance, can resuscitate a mum, can in all but the most huge emergencies (ie those that would result in hospital as well) stabilise the mother and baby until a transfer can be effected.

Totally UNNATURAL natural birth, unnatural, environment, support people yelling, birth attendant putting his hands THERE constantly and first twin crying in the background. How sad that you think this is normal.

I know what you are trying to say. I think this was called "natural" because she delivered them vaginally. But I do agree with your point. A natural childbirth would not be in a hospital under those awful lights... and mom or dad would have their children first... not the docs and nurses.
Congrats on the cute babies!!!

Great video. Brought it all back.
Child birth...the worst, yet easily forgotten pain in the world. Take the worst cramp you ever had, imagine it from neck to knees, constant. Triple it, then multiply it by a hundred. Add being unable to breathe, all the while thinking you are about to die, and at the same time trying to shit a bowling ball - and you are about half way to understanding the pain.

Congratulations, I have had all My 3 births naturally and drug free and my little girl thats due in 12 weeks will be the same...I think each and every woman has a choice whether she wants to have drugs or not, doesnt make you any less of a woman if you choose not to..There are alot of women out there that can not endure pain or the thought of it...I have been luck with all my three, and had little pain, so Im damn lucky..Congrats once again , well done Great video.
REGARDS Nat

Honey you are so wrong. Coaching does not make a birth any less natural. It just means that she has support from her family. Obviously you did not sweetheart. I do agree about the epidural not making it natural. Women out there in America everyone's body is not the same so there fore our bodies can not endure the same type of pain. My mother had a c-section with my brother and natural birth with me and my sister.

I will have all the drugs I can get. I can not take pain and that does not mean i will love my child any less. It's sad when women thank they are better than another from the way they birth babies. Take a Liberal Arts course dealing with women and society roles you'll understand why this saddens me. Why can't we compete about something else maybe education (just a thought). Is the only thing left for us to do is birth babies and talk about other women birthing babies. Thank You so very much!!!!

Birthing was the most powerful and empowering moments of my life. If you feel that education is the only way for you to become a more empowered women then thats fine, but don't criticize what other people are proud of, particularly if you don't have any experience in the area. I have taken womens studies course and I still feel that giving birth is a privilege that we are lucky to have as women, no matter how it takes place.

Oh and people talk about their births because they are proud of themselves, not to compete with other mothers or to devalue others choices. Birth doesn't have to be painful, there is alot of negative propaganda out there that says it is but they also used to think the world was flat. Maybe drugs are the best choice for you, if you think you can't do it then you're probably right. Until you have a birth experience of your own you won't understand what makes it important.

ARTUROMCPANTS... you are mistaken I didn't say that birth was a bad thing to talk about...you need to read the other comments on here before you can understand what saddens me...the women were telling the women who posted this video that because she did not have a natural birth that she was less of mother... that is what saddens me the most...not the joy or the bond these women are sharing through the birthing process...before you criticise understand what im talking about....Thanks

Why does the epidural stop working? I haven't had kids yet and I am doing research, so many questions...so much information out there confusing me.

One theory is that I was moved from a labor bed to an OR table, and during the transfer from bed to bed, the epidural catheter pulled out of place. The other possibility is that I had so much dependant edema in my back, swelling under my skin, as I lay in the labor bed, that the catheter was pulled out of place from the swelling, since the catheter is secured using tape to the skin at the epidural site.
