I have a question, was the mother pushing at all or was she just letting her natural contractions ease the baby out? Also what are your tips for birth that will lessen the chances of tearing the hymen?
@lovins88 The mom was not "pushing" in the way it is commonly done in the hospital, it was more like letting the baby move down and out with contractions. It was her 3rd baby. Hypnobirthing is a great way to prepare for a natural birth. hypnobirthing (dot) com
It was awesome to see this video clip I had a home water birth and also had my baby girl this way however had no pictures for me to look at just my husband and older children telling me.
Amazing, am pregnant now,am planning to do this way,but am afraid ..either success or bcome worst ..is this really no pain..how she handle her emotion + relax?? Amazing! !!!
Is the mom in any pain? She looks like she isn't moving at all and completely relaxed. Is this her first baby? The sac looks like it would be more painful because it looks so much bigger than the actual baby! Having that huge sac come out of her looks like it would hurt her a lot!
@MissBeautyGal that doctor unfortunately told you a big fat myth. If there is meconium present, there is nothing the doctor or midwife can do about it until baby is born anyway. The course of action is to suction the baby, which can actually push the meconium farther into baby's lungs making the problem worse, but unfortunately there aren't any other methods used for meconium aspiration. Also, just because meconium is present does not mean aspiration took place.
that was beautiful really beautiful and just forget all the negitive comments theres always gunna be some willingto ruin it ofr others. P.s did you know it is supposed to be lucky and that your child will be blessed if born in it's waters??? :) xx
WOW!!! What an amazing video! I am on the fence about water births! But I think in this case, it probably helped the situation - as the sac stayed intact!
hello! can you tell me where i can see the whole movie??
I'm a student midwife. I would also like to ask you if you know where i could get as many info as possible about hypnobirth and other alternative ways of giving birth??
I am doing my study on this subject and here in Greece hypnobirth is not known...
I would really like to explore it and write about it!
Amazing. My first pregnancy was with twin girls and Baby A was born en-caul (in her entire sac). I didn't get to see her as she emerged though (due to my huge belly in the way!) So seeing this video was amazing.
wow I still remember my wife's water birth 2years ago it was pretty relaxing and she didn't even scream or flinch the labour was about 2hours gave birth to 4.5kg porky boy(we checked the weight across the rd in woolworths) awesome experiance it was her first homebirth and we are preparing for another waterbirth in about 5months to no 5baby can't wait to meet another porky
I have always wanted a calm, mom-driven birth. I would love to not only labor in water, but deliver. It seems like it is unlikely to happen as I am a high-risk pregnancy due to my disabilities. Can this still be an option? What do I have to consider?
@SunandMarius this can been done my step mom had my brother jaiden November 16 he is almost a year he is ten months she also had them same problem as you but yes it is possible
@SunandMarius I'm disabled and had a "high risk" pregnancy, and recently had a very calm, mom-centered home birth (my second VBAC). I actually have a video of it on my channel that I just put up.
Find a midwife that you click with and make your needs known right away. Lots of moms with disabilities have wonderful home or hospital births. :)
Very interesting to watch! never new that this could happen. And what a peacefull mom! I was so gratefull to get my baby when is was being born in the water. Maybe it was needed at the time but I must agree the midwives hands seem a bit interveening after such a calm labour.
@TJnJadasmommy Most of the time, the sac will break on it's own prior to or during the birth. In this case, it just happened to stay intact. It is not a good or bad thing, just kinda cool. There are those who say babies born in the sac (aka in caul) have special sight.
@BirthBliss It's very interesting, never seen nothing like it. I wanted to have my 2nd one via water but, the hospital I went to didn't do it. Also I was considered high risk *sigh*
I really would have loved to have tried to do it at least.
I just gave birth (yesterday) to my 2nd child, a girl who was "born in the caul" here at home, in water. We wished we had videotaped. We feel truly blessed as and our midwives were delighted as these children are considered lucky in many ways. This was beautiful to watch. Thank you for sharing!
I was born with a caul but have never experienced anything amazing. Although others, including a psychic, have said I am different. I do have a small hole on the palm of my left hand and I have read that some caulbearers have a small scar on their spine. I have just started a website for caulbearers. called caulbaby
Do water births hurt less? And why does it take so long? It seems like it would hurt to have the baby sitting there like that for so long. But yeah, do water births hurt less?
@Starr2982 Yes, they hurt far less but don't take any longer, in fact, my experience has been that once I get into the tub the birth follows within minutes.
@bouncygirl1000 The baby doesn't try to breath until his/her head comes out into the air... the pressure change sparks the natural reflex to inhale and inflate the lungs for the first time. The babies can be kept underwater for several minutes after they are born, actually... as long as their heads don't come out of the water... it's very relaxing for the baby - going from one warm, under-water environment to another... makes birth less traumatizing for the baby! ;-D
I'm curious as to why you switched to a hands on approach to deliver the shoulders. The birth seemed to be progressing well to me, and I've actually never seen a hands on approach in any waterbirth before. Was there a specific reason that made you decide to assist in delivering the shoulders?
this was beautiful! i've never seen a baby come out still in the SAC!!!! amazing.....i'm becoming more & more inspired to choose a water birth in the future when my fiance & i start to have a family....i'm terrified of the hospital environment, & i would rather not give birth with all the drugs, and technology. hospital births seem more like a busines to me. i'd like to experience everything. the babies seem so peaceful in the water, it must be soothing for the mother to see them so calm.
@LordOfYahoo The baby's not breathing yet. Remember that it was lying in a sac of fluid before being born into the water. It's only when it is brought into the air that it's going to breathe.
please, could you share what the name is of the music and artist? I am recording my own relaxation scripts for my birth and I would love to listen to that music then.`
@LilTash262 The baby will not drown. a) the baby has lived in water it's entire existence. b) the stimulus to breathe comes when the temperature and pressure change once the baby is brought to the surface. Very common question; thanks for asking it again.
@cyberlord64 Its also A Hypnobirth... the Labor technique is amazing and I am using it with my birth... the basis of it is that you don't "push" your body natural expels the baby with your breathing and and it helps that you are in oooober relaxed... Kinda how animals birth their babies :)
my water was broke by the dr at 12:20am to get labor going ( i was induced) and i was at 2cm, i didnt deliver her until 12:03pm, her poor head was so disfigured for a few hours from a dry birth, they rush things way to much now adays
Apparently when a baby is born in its sack. It's considered to bring good luck to the baby and the parents. What is this song? It's quite mystical and peaceful. Thank you for posting this.
2 things annoyed me about this beautiful video. the stupid flashlight in poor bubby's face constantly and also how hands on the midwife became towards the end.
I hope it was actually a calm birth...I think the music was drowning out the screams...Why did it seem to take so long for the whole baby to come out once the head was out?
@shybettigurl no screaming, mom actually was really quiet. and the flashlight was so that we could get better quality video. Both parents really wanted us to video it, so we could educate people.
@BirthBliss doesn't it hurt more, since the sac is bigger than the child alone? (i'm not a mum and i'm not even pregnant yet, but i'm considering it for the future)
@vairaBerlin the sac is very flexible and full of liquid, it conforms the shape of the baby so it isn't solid, isn't really "bigger" than the baby and causes no extra pain. The sac usually ruptures during labor on its own, it is rare for a baby to be born in the sac or "in the caul". In many cultures a baby born in the caul is considered to have good fortune.
My full-term baby was born in the caul after a precipitous labor (land birth!), and the midwife was stunned. He came out much faster than this baby. I was shocked but thrilled.
I never even thought about this being a possibility until I stumbled across this video! Very lovely to see, looks very calm and peaceful but that might be the music :P
Well, with all due respect, I think it's appropriate that certain precautions are taken to avoid having a minor stumble unexpectedly upon something like this. While I don't disagree that minors can benefit from watching this, I do agree with the appropriateness of an adult (preferably a parent or teacher) presenting videos of this nature to minors. I also even think it's a bit more respectable to the mother in the video. Just another perspective from a non-religious nut.
My 3rd baby was born in the caul , easiest birth lol! What an amazing experiance, i just wish i could have seen it too, unfortunalty i missed it all :(
well I suppose one could say that laying eggs is to chickens what birth is to home sapiens, but I think you're missing the...magic (for lack of a better word).
Wow, that is one strong sac! Midwife looked as though she were struggling to break it.
It was so hard to tell when the head came out. So strange, yet so beautiful! Thank you for sharing! Making me want to not go to a doctor even more! (that's a good thing)
u'd rather have ur wife have a c-section? thats pretty self-fish. she'll be going through more pain AFTER the birth. she'll have to heal. another thing, babies are swimming in liquid and they get their oxygen from the umbilical cord. so how could he suffocate if he's already in water? it's actually more unfair for ur wife and ur baby to go through a c-section unless it's absolutely necessary. it's more fair to give birth like this cuz the drugs from the epidural and stuff won't affect the baby.
Wow,I think thats the first time I ever scene a baby being born were the camera was zoomed in like that. Usualy the camera is not showing the head of the baby comming out like that on tv, you know medical channel stuff like that. I think now when I become a dad I will be better perpared.
hi, can anybody help me here-i don't seem to be able to watch this video and the other one from birthbliss!it just doesn't run...i really wanna see it!have no problem otherwise with my computer....!
continuation ... i suggest you educate yourself a little bit. and suggesting that you rather your wife have c-section over a vaginal birth? ridiculous as well. pls.
oh man, do you know how stupid you sound here? i didn't think people like you existed, seriously, DROWNING THE BABY? do you know what your child lives in in utero?? a sac of WATER. have you ever wondered why a woman's water breaks before delivering? the baby doesn't even take it's first breath until there AIR, why the hell would you assume the baby takes a breath while entering the world the exact same way it lived for 9 months in the womb?
That's awesome! My daughter was almost born in the caul but it was so freakin' hard to push her out with that bubble around her head! My midwife didn't "break" her water but put pressure on it while I pushed and eventually it popped. That was the most AMAZING feeling when that happened, I felt like her head shrunk down to half the size! This is amazing though. It's supposed to be a sign of intelligence. Does anyone else think it looks like she's laying an egg?? :)
same happened with my baby, i had waterbirth, and her head was almost born in the sac...but it burst as her head was born...felt it go like you and it was the weirdest feeling!
It's actually amazing for both mother and baby. It's less traumatic for the child because it's in it's natural environment until it's completely out, and as long as the baby is still connected to the placenta by the umbilical cord, it doesn't really need to breathe on it's own. So it's likely that the baby didn't even draw breath until it was out of the water. Water births also ease the pain of childbirth for women who decide to do natural births. This is how I'm planning my next one in May.
thats because youre an idiot man. maybe you should ask you wofe if she would rather has a peaceful birth with the ability to bond immediately with her child... or be sliced open with a scalpel!
I just got done with an interview with my mother about my birth and I was born still in the sac, the water hadn't broken! Someone told her that there was a folk tale or something about children (or boys in particular) being born without the water breaking. Anyone know what such a folk tale might be?
This is known as being born 'in the caul' - the sac used to be bottled years ago and sailors would buy them for a v high price - its rare. Babies born in the caul were said to never drown and sailors would buy the preserved sac for good luck. Bc its a rare event, babies born in the caul were seen as special or of auspicious birth - Napolean Bonaparte was supposedly a 'caulbearer' or born in the caul. I think its really special that you were born in the caul - congrats to you and yr ma!
Apparently years & years & years ago the sac from a baby who was born in the caul was prized by sailors who dried it and kept it as protection from drowning - as a baby born in the caul is said to be protected from death by drowning. Something like that anyway.
yeah, that's true. But the gloves still protect me from direct contact with any blood or baby poop, after the baby comes out. We do have shoulder length gloves to wear if we are ever really concerned about contamination. Our clients tend to be super-healthy, so I am not too worried about a little watered-down body emissions.
I am NOT the woman in the video but I gave birth at home in a tub of water and it was ... very hard work. I think most women who homebirth or birth naturally will tell you the same thing. For me, it was easier than having to work at giving birth with an epidural (done that too).
thank you for posting! absolutely beautiful. my last waterbirth my sons sac broke just as his head was crowning..en caul is such a special type of birth
this was so interesting for me to watch as 18 months ago I too gave birth to my son underwater and in the Caul. We had him at home and it was pretty similiar to this, except he came out much quicker and the caul broke as his body entered the pool. Isn't it fantastic? We are pregnanct again and I can't wait to homebirth a second time!
wow - truly amazing - i was aware of water birthing but didn't know about the caul...learn something new every day... about halfway thru i was reminded of bill cosby's explanation to a man of what giving birth is like... take your lower lip and pull it up over your head and you're just beginning to get an idea....:-)

While I don't disagree that minors can benefit from watching this, I do agree with the appropriateness of an adult (preferably a parent or teacher) presenting videos of this nature to minors. I also even think it's a bit more respectable to the mother in the video. Just another perspective from a non-religious nut.

So what possible harm, could I, a minor, get out of this? I was 13 at the time of posting, and probably at the age of 7 I would find this acceptable.

Can you share anything about the life of your 4th baby that distinguishes him/her as a "lucky" child? Just curious.
joewillerd 2 years ago
hmmm... well, actualy not really :D
or let's just say: not yet! Maybe she didn't yet need her luck? ;)
Wish your lives to be always filled with luck and love!

Wow, that is one strong sac! Midwife looked as though she were struggling to break it.
It was so hard to tell when the head came out. So strange, yet so beautiful! Thank you for sharing! Making me want to not go to a doctor even more! (that's a good thing)

u'd rather have ur wife have a c-section? thats pretty self-fish. she'll be going through more pain AFTER the birth. she'll have to heal. another thing, babies are swimming in liquid and they get their oxygen from the umbilical cord. so how could he suffocate if he's already in water? it's actually more unfair for ur wife and ur baby to go through a c-section unless it's absolutely necessary. it's more fair to give birth like this cuz the drugs from the epidural and stuff won't affect the baby.

Wow,I think thats the first time I ever scene a baby being born were the camera was zoomed in like that. Usualy the camera is not showing the head of the baby comming out like that on tv, you know medical channel stuff like that. I think now when I become a dad I will be better perpared.

oh man, do you know how stupid you sound here? i didn't think people like you existed, seriously, DROWNING THE BABY? do you know what your child lives in in utero?? a sac of WATER. have you ever wondered why a woman's water breaks before delivering? the baby doesn't even take it's first breath until there AIR, why the hell would you assume the baby takes a breath while entering the world the exact same way it lived for 9 months in the womb?
brandonsgrrl 3 years ago
That's awesome! My daughter was almost born in the caul but it was so freakin' hard to push her out with that bubble around her head! My midwife didn't "break" her water but put pressure on it while I pushed and eventually it popped. That was the most AMAZING feeling when that happened, I felt like her head shrunk down to half the size! This is amazing though. It's supposed to be a sign of intelligence. Does anyone else think it looks like she's laying an egg?? :)

same happened with my baby, i had waterbirth, and her head was almost born in the sac...but it burst as her head was born...felt it go like you and it was the weirdest feeling!

Totally! We had a waterbirth at the birth center in Denver...totally awesome! Love the lovely waterbirth! definitely doing a home birth next time :)
mamaprana 3 years ago
It's actually amazing for both mother and baby. It's less traumatic for the child because it's in it's natural environment until it's completely out, and as long as the baby is still connected to the placenta by the umbilical cord, it doesn't really need to breathe on it's own. So it's likely that the baby didn't even draw breath until it was out of the water. Water births also ease the pain of childbirth for women who decide to do natural births. This is how I'm planning my next one in May.

thats because youre an idiot man. maybe you should ask you wofe if she would rather has a peaceful birth with the ability to bond immediately with her child... or be sliced open with a scalpel!

I just got done with an interview with my mother about my birth and I was born still in the sac, the water hadn't broken! Someone told her that there was a folk tale or something about children (or boys in particular) being born without the water breaking. Anyone know what such a folk tale might be?
Corailie 3 years ago
This is known as being born 'in the caul' - the sac used to be bottled years ago and sailors would buy them for a v high price - its rare. Babies born in the caul were said to never drown and sailors would buy the preserved sac for good luck. Bc its a rare event, babies born in the caul were seen as special or of auspicious birth - Napolean Bonaparte was supposedly a 'caulbearer' or born in the caul. I think its really special that you were born in the caul - congrats to you and yr ma!
smaf2007 3 years ago
Apparently years & years & years ago the sac from a baby who was born in the caul was prized by sailors who dried it and kept it as protection from drowning - as a baby born in the caul is said to be protected from death by drowning. Something like that anyway.

I just wanna know why the midwife was wearing..gloves? I mean once you put your hand in the water you pretty much get them water logged wouldn't you?
melinda3792 3 years ago
yeah, that's true. But the gloves still protect me from direct contact with any blood or baby poop, after the baby comes out. We do have shoulder length gloves to wear if we are ever really concerned about contamination. Our clients tend to be super-healthy, so I am not too worried about a little watered-down body emissions.

Is there any benefits from this ?
intheshitter 3 years ago 2
studies from around the world have shown that women who labor & birth in the water have:
a) less need for pain meds
b) shorter labors and faster births
c) less vaginal tearing
There is no increase in risk to the baby and some studies showed slightly lower rates of newborn complications, including infection.

how big is the sac in proportion to the baby? Does it fit right around him or is it bigger?
kitka9 3 years ago
The sac is filled with water, so it is bigger than the baby. Imagine a baby inside a balloon.

I am NOT the woman in the video but I gave birth at home in a tub of water and it was ... very hard work. I think most women who homebirth or birth naturally will tell you the same thing. For me, it was easier than having to work at giving birth with an epidural (done that too).

this was so interesting for me to watch as 18 months ago I too gave birth to my son underwater and in the Caul. We had him at home and it was pretty similiar to this, except he came out much quicker and the caul broke as his body entered the pool. Isn't it fantastic? We are pregnanct again and I can't wait to homebirth a second time!

wow - truly amazing - i was aware of water birthing but didn't know about the caul...learn something new every day... about halfway thru i was reminded of bill cosby's explanation to a man of what giving birth is like... take your lower lip and pull it up over your head and you're just beginning to get an idea....:-)
