You both had a great experience!!! It's wonderful. Please keep in mind that death during childbirth has decreased by 50% with medical intervention. It's beautiful you can have a birth at home! Some women tried in 3rd world countries and even in developed countries and died for hundreds of years. So, it's best to advocate what is best for your situation when you have ALL information in front of you. Data that is research backed. But I applaud you for sharing this. It is very much a natural proce
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You two lovers, divine magical lovers, I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy to see that my husband and I are not the only two demented psycic juicy beyond belief lovers, and THANK YOU for calling out the wretched distorted male epidemic that is prevalent. We are one of the few LUCKY, BLISSED, WHOLE and CONECTED ones that have truly manifested our universal earth mate. BLESS YOUR FAMILY!!!!!!!! Love is bursting out of my hearts by seeing you both, and now little one.
I am so happy this method worked out for you and would love to read the book. Pls be mindful though that women in the third world die every day from birth complications as did many women in western history before hospitals. I myself was a breach and would have been brain damaged if my mum didn't get help xxx
YAY - no schooool :) Why don't you want to get into it. You should DEFINITELY get into it! :) It's my favourite topic and the next logical step. I want to cry when I see 2 year olds, so clever, absorbing so much information about the world around the them, and then see them lose it all when they start school, or even worse, pre-school which is just school training.
here is the vid of 1.5 years old "raw" Nikon. he was born from mono raw vegan 9years or so parents by unassisted birth. Just husband :)) right now they have a girl, second baby by the same way. to find it just put in search моносыроед с детсва . sorry, i can not place the link for some reasons. machine, what he is pushing is 74kg :)
Beautiful vid! Since you guys had an unassisted birth, how were u guys able to get the birth certificate. I had an unassisted birth before but the ambulance got called by my mother so they documented the birth. How did you guys do it if i can know? Thanks!!!
The biggest disrespector or women is the state. Men that disrespect women are simply reflections of how they were brought up and how they perceive them, mainly thru the media. Women are meant to be viewed as THE most amazing, wondeful beings, purely due to the fact they BRING LIFE into this world..they should be encouraged to be at home with their children instead of forcing them OUT to work..to keep the treadmill going. The family unit is being systematically destroyed..by design!
I agree with everything you said! what woman wld want to give birth with strangers!!!!!!! and laying on ur back the most uncomfy position!!! I don't trust strangers with MY BABY!! I don't care if they are "doctors" or "nurses" Im so happy you all think the way i do! i thought i was alone!
I was against human cloning until seeing videos about their life together. Please tell me Matt has a twin. The world needs more men like him. Angela is so fortunate and clearly appreciates her husband's virtues.
I can so relate to their experience with wanting to be totally alone to deliver their baby. It will be me, my man & our baby. VIP only! I have such a fear of being forced to go to the hospital, I literally came up with a plan to escape this if I go into labor in public. Seriously!
Congratulations! I am so glad things went well for you! I'm an OB nurse 30yrs and a home birth midwife 8 yrs I believe that most births are without any complications. Because I have seen unexpected complications, I believe you take unnecessary risks for your child. My friend who had a home birth shoulder dystocia, death, believed and loved just as much as you do and she still lost her baby boy. Midwives by our nature are non intrusive, yet trained and wise.
Laura is amazing! Shes a very great woman. Unassisted Birth changed the lives of my husband and myself as well. It was total transformation. Congrats to you and your wife. Thank you, for just being you. :)
My father was the best husband, brother, father, son etc. Maybe that is why as a woman I am as strong as I am, disrespect towards women by men is something i don't understand and never want to understand. You said it straight Matt! Thanks so much, finding a man with character and substance is a pretty rare thing these days.
Matt - thanks for being such a strong example for men! We do need the help. You two are the best! Thank you so much for all the sharing, wisdom, and courage!!
you pretty much have nothing to say let along placing judgments other than just being grateful you have such a strong amazing partner. Raw, Cooked, 1/2 Cooked n 1/2 Raw, all that philosophy fades in the magic of childbirth.
I think Matt once you come down from you high blissed experience and just observe the gracefulness of motherhood you will really get the essence what its all about. I observe the video on how you are going on and on while Angela is sitting back listening. Let her speak about this matters because at the end of the day until you go through the process of have an entire human in you for 9 months and that being coming out of you,
Each birth is unique and different and respecting all births and the strength of women is what its about. Now that I'm settling in from my blisssssed out birthing experience I realize that actually women even having birth in hospital w or w/out drugs are just as 'brave'. As they are having babies in much more strenuous circumstances and still pull it off!
At my birth, I barely knew the midwife was there. It was practically as though my husband and I were there alone. She simply observed me and checked the heart rate from time to time. She only offered suggestion or help when I asked for it which I rarely did. The beauty of the whole thing was after I gave birth she left out for us to bond and cleaned up everything so I may spend time with my family:)
Wow... I am all for unassisted birth and Angela you are a remarkable woman for inspiring many women out there:) I recently had an homebirth myself With a Midwife (my son is 3 months). Matt by comparing any type of diet to birthing IS QUITE INSULTING to any woman who whether or not had a hospital birth or not!!! And just to see how you went off just a few mins prior on how Men are disrespecting women...SMDH. How about you being at a birth w a midwife then throw out some useless comparisons.
Well, postpartum depression is almost always a hormonal imbalance after pregnancy- so it's not so much about being unhappy with their baby after birth. I'm so happy for you and your family!!
But thankfully, there's a quiet revolution, more are questioning and making alternate decisions. Thank you for sharing your story. Hopefully it has more thinking about what is handed out on their plate. Oh, I also suck out my son's mucous out - comes naturally!
Being self aware, working with your body and fear release is the way to go. I love Shanley for letting it be known that birthing can be as normal as breathing. Of course a good diet factors greatly, but most of it is mental. And yeah, those that eat a SAD (or SMD - M for Modern) without question will do standard medicine without question (or with very little questioning for which nothing comes out for), as they will do standard 'education' without question.
I've been interested in a home/unassisted birth, especially since having an unnecessary c-section (which I still have some unresolved anger about)... but my husband is having a real hard time getting on board. He has a lot of fear.
It does seem pointless to try and talk to people that are chemical filled, but have hope that somebody even one will hear it and begin to wake up. There is a little bit of the real world everywhere, thank you for helping keep it alive and spread what is good.
hello ! Congrats to both of you for your beautiful daughter. Watching your videos always hurts, because i feel so stucked in my Standard french diet / hospital birth / regular school life ! Right now i can't see how i could not swim in the mainstrean.
Congratulations! You are very brave for doing this birth unassisted! I'm so happy for you that everything turned out ok....blessings to the three of you!
Please please read the book Anastasia, it is fantastic, it talks about raising children, the universe, love, and oh my gosh, i just have this deep connection with it. Its a true story about a girl totally in tune with nature and the universe, when you read the series you won't be able to put it down, it feels soo... right. It all makes sense, i think you would really like this book.
It's kind of sad to see society turn so radically away from midwifery and the original hospitals founded by good women. Without the moral law and the authority of the Catholic Church, things have quickly devolved into the selling of body parts and the supposed cures for body parts. No wonder countries like India and China exterminate their children. They are about as far from the influence of the ancient Catholic Church that a country could be. There is much to learn about women in the Mid Ages.
@Brittanius95 there are countries where homeschooling is legal - and what Matt was touching a bit in his speech was the so called "Unschooling", which got this name just because there were more and more people that were doing something at home that was not the regular homeschooling. You can look up (on the internet for example) for the term "radical unschooling". There are a lot of variants out there and the first generations of "unschoolers" are already grown-ups and turned out just great.
I don't disagree with unassisted birth at all I think it's beautiful BUT I think you need to respect there is a place for modern medicine as well! And here in Australia births are free in hospital, I sometimes wonder how America can be charging so much for necessary medical needs! Operations etc also free!
You have a real opportunity to help other men learn to respect their women. Do not judge them. Encourage them to heal from the place they learned to disrespect women. They were all little boys once. Too many stop growing emotionally at a young age when they are abused or witness abuse of others. Choose compassion. Do not condemn. There is always hope. May God bless you on your journey as a father. Love to you, Angela and Oria!
women have PPD because of the TRAUMATIC births they have in hospitals (and sometimes at home w/aggressive midwives even who try to manage births!) Great birth & LOVe Laura Shanley!
I have missed so many videos,so for the last few hours I have been playing catch up. Imagine my elation to see the ups and downs of the past couple of months...amazing!!! Nothing though, absolutely nothing could have prepared me for this!! I have been crying for the past 30min. I no idea why other than the fact that you guys are projecting more love through these videos than I have experienced in years. Thank you for sharing PERFECTION!!! Please accept my warmest congratulations, and love!!
Matt- Im still looking forward to your videos that can lead men into more higher consciousness. Please give your guidance, not your criticism brother. Only love heals -
However, I'm really curious to know your thoughts on a cesarean birth?
My mother had to have c-sections for all of her children, and I have to assume I will as well because of our body type. How do you suggest someone deals with that?
Matt & Angela, Have you seen the documentary "Thrive" that RFW posted about a few days ago???? It's a must see for everyone. Go to YouTube to view the trailer and go to their website and pay 5 bucks to view vid or google someone showing the 2 hr docu for FREE as I did. It is reinforcing everything you are saying along with giving us steps to attain a better world/life for all of us. Check it out people. It's worth it!
2 great books to check out: (1) Unassisted Childbirth (2) Unassisted Homebirth: An Act of Love. CD: Your Body, Your Birth. unasssitedhomebirth website.
Hey from Poland!! We are vegan family from Poland. We are very very happy for your birth, baby, beautiful place to live. Your experience is very inspiring to us. We also had a lotus birth and it happened at home. It was not unassisted one but we had a wonderfool doula. /We want to have next one to be unassisted. We read about it a little in Anastasia book. Your words about schooling struck us, we totally agree but so far the educational system in Poland is a must. Love Robert, Dorota and Marry
I totally get it, & agree 100% with unassisted birth. I wish I could have done that. I'm a little jealous cuz I could'nt. My husband could & would have delivered our child no problem. But, I had really high blood pressure, & almost died. Even when I've gone raw vegan, my blood pressure issues have not been resolved.That is a whole other story I guess, but I'm grateful for you guys cuz most women can do this, they just need to be educated. I teach my kids at home and love it. Lots of family time!
a friend of mine licked the whole baby just after the baby was born... he said he had this very instinctive impulse to do so and all doctors and nurses were shocked at the scene... but nobody stopped him and afterwards it was not necessary anymore to "clean" the baby from blood and stuff... how wonderful it is when we just follow our hearts and true nature! THIS IS ALSO HOW ANIMALS DO IT! God, we have so much to learn from animals and nature! Thank you guys for sharing your beautiful life w us ♥
Matt, you're a great Husband, a great Dad, a Great Human Being!! I love that you can talk to everyone from the heart. God Bless You, Angela and your little girl!!
Hi guys, just sending some love to you and BIG hugs for Oria, family is the most important thing in life and what ever come our way after that is a bounce. You are in my thoughts daily, take care of each other ....Margaret x x x:))))
Congratulations guys :) But really disappointing that Angela barely spoke a word in this video... As much as I'm sure Matt felt connected and involved, it was Angela who fully embodied and experienced birth but didn't voice her experience. Why?
@Lakkhesis1976 what the heck? don't you think that if she wanted to talk she would? some of you people are just too much! are you a soap opera watcher by any chance, just curious..........
@oh2love4love What a strange overreaction to an earnestly made comment... What does 'you people' mean? I was honestly disappointed that Angela hardly said anything. It was her birth!
to answer your question: i said, some of you people are just too much.... what do you think it means? it means some of you people are just too much. POINT being... people (we) tend to see things without really seeing them for the wholeness of what is.
as i said, don't ya think if she had something to say she would say it? she's not a prisoner for crying out loud...
I agree with what you are saying here, these ideas you have expressed should be more main-stream, and women would more than likely take advantage of them- I would have, except, not all of this was readily available to me at the time. I do use natural foods and always have taken the most natural path that was within reach while raising my son. I don't like putting him into public school- but home-schooling is not that prevalent where I live.
Matt, Thanks for all that you said in support of women all over the planet. I had my son at the hospital with Midwives and it was an extraordinary experience. I am glad I had my son naturally, nursed him until he was 6. Now 7- He's a wonderful, grounded, inspiring, amazing child that I love more than anything. Nursing was a tremendous bonding experience for me and my son. My hubby is very supportive and loving and I know I am blessed to have him in my life. Peace, Love- Congrats!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Matt! I love your anger and "pissed off" attitude because enough is enough! I am one of those women who have not had men in her life that are respectful!!! I have had to find it within myself, which is possible, but also left me with not wanting to have anything to do with men! So, thank you so very much!!!
I love your analogy conventional vs. homeschool/homebirth/wholefoods ! I liken it to surviving/flourishing/and thriving. I'm on my way to thriving. The deeper you go, the further you can extend to reach & heal others. I know this ~ every step towards our original design has great rewards. So important to follow truth home. My midwife is the one who introduced me to homeopathy & dangers of vaccinations/glad she did! She helped me grow & was transformational in my journey. Love yr story!!
Hi there! The more I get to know you, the more I love you all. I always squirted breast milk in the babies eyes for any eye goop. It is really awesome and healing. I just lit up when I heard you say that the BEST way we raise consciousness is in our family. That is so right on I felt like doing a little jig or something! "Mainstream messes us up so bad..." Amen! But, I have found also that the light keeps shining in the dark & the darkness has never put it out. It is always drawing us. <3
Hello my lightworking friends.. Phenomenal wrk rounding up collective energy on youtube! I feel the swirl of power the 'raw food movement' is creating and am so pleased with its leaders :) congrats on the little one xoxo
UNSCHOOLING! woo hoo! (same as noschooling!) We do a mixture of both, because we still have to test here in Minnesota. We just do a lot of reading and life experience to teach our son. :)
I love you guys. Yup, I know you do not really know me. But I know so much about you by Angela's books, your TV show, your store, entheos class, Live lightly, etc, etc. Feels like your family. I feel like an Auntie to your wee one. Weird, huh? I know. Only via the information super highway, right? Love & Light to you all. PS. Does Matt have a single brother? ; )
continued...... I had 4 more children, 2 in the hospital, just natural, no needles, and the last one I had at home, easily and with my family around me. I believe this is where the closes bond happened. for both of us, I cried for you and respet your love.
medically raped is a perfect expression...my first was just like that...they made me lie on my back when I wanted to get up, it took 26 hours and I couldnt' push because of the epid. they had to pull him out and gave me an episiotomy. then they took him away for 24 hours to make certain he was ok. I was terrified that something was wrong, his head was bruised from the pulling and thank the universe that he was ok afterall.
I love it, and I love you, all three. Infinite thanks for telling me about Elena Tonetti-Vladimirova. I went to a 10 day with her in Chico and it was transformative I think you are leading the way in something important in having an unassisted birth and advocating it. I agree with you, Matt, and deeply appreciate your saying that men need to be respectful of women. That shows huge growth and is rare, given our culture. It also takes guts. Lots of love to you. Angels will protect you.
I agree - I am all for natural living, etc. etc. But postnatal depression is something that effects the woman not the man and until a man gives birth he cannot have much to say about it.
@otwayforrest The 2 weeks after having our son, I couldn't talk on the phone to talk about our baby, because I would cry no matter what! It was kind of amusing, but hard!
@otwayforrest he said, "how does postpartum depression even exist?".... he's questioning how it is possible when what he is witnessing is far away from such a thing..
consider: womyn who go through depression has something to do with the imbalance in this world.. some people might be more sensitive or subjected to depression as well..
my overall point is that he didn't say it doesn't exist, he's saying he doesn't understand how it exists because they are in total bliss.
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful time in your lives with us. I am very excited to continue to watch and hear more about Angela's pregnancy. Did Angela ever get looked at by a 'professional' during her pregnancy? I don't see the need for this unless I intuitively feel I want to seek another's opinion ..just wondering what you guys did.
@MakingHealthyChoices with much respect I ask how you would intuitively know that your child had a congenital hear defect, or a rare form of cancer or a grade 6 placenta previa which all three of my friends had and would not have know if it were not for the routine ultrasound. All where able to be dealt with becaue they knew about the issues before the baby was born.
@elesha76 I certainly don't have all the answers for every persons story. For myself I continue to do plenty of meditating and tuning in along with seeking advice from those I trust. If I feel I require further help I would seek it. Grateful to hear that your friends were guided to get the help they needed. Some need more help than others. I am not necessarily against getting an ultrasound.. and was wondering whether Angela did choose to do any of those 'routine' things.
Oh I love it guys! I was born at home and am so much better for it! My moms first child was 26 hours labor after eaing like crap through pregnancy, she ate vegan with me and had a 4 hour labor. Because of hearing my parents talk about it growing up, having a baby at home is not at all a fearful thing, but a natural and beautiful thing. Can't wait to hear more of your experiences and ideas on pregnancy, birth and child raising!
I'm at the wholes food diet stage, but I hope to get to the raw foods diet stage. Oh, I know what could help, Matt can you help me find a single male raw foodist? lol. I've seen African mothers lick the mucus from their babies too. It was from that Babies movie. Thanks for speaking up against disrespectful men Matt. Angela is a lucky woman. Show Oria next time.
Matt, it's not worth getting sick over... these men who disregard their women are simply confused. It's not their fault. These men need support and love as much as anyone, not hate. You are a living example of a loving, supportive husband. That's all you need to do. Many men out there will see that. If they have it in their hearts to wake up and change their lives, then that's brilliant. If not, then they will continue to be confused, and that is their journey in life. Compassion is the answer.
What if one has had a c-section? The only reason was because the labor wasn't progressing quickly enough even after them pumping me full of pitocin. *frown* (I didn't know any better back then) Is there any hope for an unassisted birth in the future? I am interested in the book, but I was wondering if this is addressed in the book? Thank you!! :)
Congratulations you two! My first birth was a C. Planned a natural but she was frank breech, and I was afraid to push head out last in case of damage to spinal cord. But I dilated to 10 on the way to hospital! It felt totally manageable. 2nd was c also. Dialated again to 10 w/o drugs. Planned vbac but he was breech; one foot birthing while other was stuck up inside. They told me 100 yrs ago both of us would have died. So I am happy for both births, and my experience was bliss. Love my kiddies.
I think as a loving parent you will always be torn with worry for your precious baby girl's safety. Time does pass quickly, way too quickly. My baby girl is now 30 yrs old. I think it goes faster as you get older. The sad part for me is that precious baby is not here anymore and now I have a beautiful woman for a daughter. I think this is where being in the moment (and lots of video and pictures) help us to appreciate the present.
I'm very new to the raw food diet but wanting to incorporate it because everyone talks about such a blissful feeling and love for life....but maybe it wears off? or is this just lack of sleep but to a new baby?
I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE You three <3 I LOVE the information you shared. I love how, even in your time of extremely precious elation, you bear your souls courageously. Making it easier for the rest of us, especially women, to be brave and defy convention and not to put up with anything less, than respect and pure love! Thank you, I wish I was your daughter lol. Better still I believe your family will live heaven on earth, so beautiful!!! tear.
I just love you two, excuse me, I mean the 3 of you! Angela and Matt you are both so loving, so giving. You are so perfect for one another and bring out the best in each other. You both have so much love for each other and I believe your love even extends to the human race. The raw food diet tends to produce kinder people because the cooked food diet is so toxic to the body and mind. Angela, you need extra sleep. Your body is pure but food and sleep will re-build! Love you both!
I also like the analogy you set up, Matt. It's very sound, including the unschooling bit, except that unassisted birth (and unschooling) is completely right and easy for me, and I struggle constantly with raw foodism. But that's just me. Raw foods, UC, and unschooling go hand in hand! Little Oria will be leading what we call in our house "a luxury life"!
I didn't even know about unassisted birth... now I admire Angela even more now than I did before (she has been a role model for me). She is such a strong woman! (Not that I didn't think that before) Matt, I admire you too for loving Angela the way you do. The mucus thing was hilarious...I'd love to hear you guys talk more about unschooling in a future video. Thank you guys for not being afraid to do things outside of the mainstream and setting a wonderful example for the rest of us.
Soooooooooo amazingly grateful for you guys! Thank you so much for sharing your experience, tips, ideas and for just being so committed to what is right and true. THANK YOU! Sending Blessings to your family!
I think that going through an unassisted birth with a woman really fast-tracks the whole "respecting women" epiphany for men. I've seen it with my husband and other husbands of UC women as well; seeing it from Matt is really beautiful. I love having him on board for my cause!
Wanting to get to the next stage is probably what all us parents feel, I know myself and my hubby felt that. That worry is always there. I still check my boys are breathing now, they are 16 & 12yrs, my 25 year old son has his own home & has made us grandparents for the 4th time...WOW! Time does go VERY quick but it is so nice being grandparents & sort of seeing my eldest son again through my grandsons.
I know what you mean about the man thing, we have now been married 30 yrs, it is all good now
If there is some infection in the eye you can dip cotton ball into the black or green tea and then wipe the eye along the lid from the side part to the center (nose) direction. Can repeat during the day for few times. Works very well and fast.
you said it Matt..."the best way that a man can raise human consciousness is by supporting our woman and child as best as we can.'' How simple are the ways of love for those who are still human enough to want love. Who does not know the woman and childbearing is sacred is lost, and who abuses her is insane. Watching how you have grown and learned through being a conscious part of the co creative process is mind boggling and even your rage is awakened and refreshing. Keep speaking on this! <3
WOW! I am sharing this on my FB page.I know all men have it in them to feel, think, and act the way that you do, Matt. Unfortunately, not all men are as in touch and go beyond the physical, mainstream with all of it's limitations. This was my situation. My most courageous birth experiences have been in a hospital because that is where true courage is needed. Depression happens because men & women are both lost & stuck in the above cycle. Thank you for knowing what blessings to move towards!
Congratulations!! Wow, your channel is super fascinating, please keep doing what you're doing! Are you going to post more videos talking about the birth and how it went, how you did it etc? I know that's really personal, but it would be so interesting and helpful to people who are thinking about having an alternative birth. Lots of love!
"Oria" is a perfect name and I'm glad you had the wisdom to wait for her to tell you. You Matt have understood now what it means to be a man, and I tell you that tearfully in joy for you and all who will hopefully learn from you. Beautiful Angela, you are both lucky to have the love you have. You are all very blessed. Please keep speaking of your enlightened epiphanies on the love you have opened to for your woman and child. The world needs this radiance and the heart vibes you are emanating.
I want to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for posting this video!!!! I'm due in two weeks and was planning on having an unassisted home birth, but was almost scared into not having one, by outside influences. This video has totally given me the courage to go ahead with it again! Hope you don't mind, but can you share the home birth supplies to had on hand for the birth? That would help so much. Thank you again!!!
Dear Matt! .. just one thing... if husbands are disrespectful is because THEY DONTT KNOW!! so, why you dont explain.. not with anger... with fear they will NOT understand!!.. use all that enormous big infinite love and explain them how to be part of life.. if you send love.. you will recieve more love.. Of course I understand that you are pissed off!!.. but NOW, until NOW I understand what is all about.. and only with love you can have love.. thanks for all and recieve all my love
Matt, my lovely, just love your insight and your straight talking, no ambiguity with you! GET YOUR MESSAGE OUT THERE you have so much to teach ~~~ most men are psychotic Matt and so self aborbed its unbelievable. So happy and so much respect for the 3 women who have decided to change their lives because of your teachings ~~~ much love to you Matt, you are a shining Light xxx
Thank you so much for the video! We delivered our third son at home, waterbirth, a couple of months ago. I can't tell you the way people act when they hear I deliver at home. Basically they always comment how "strong" I am , that they would need an epidural. It makes me sad that more women don't recognize the strength they have and the ability within themselves. God bless you and enjoy the time with your darling! Like so many have said, it goes way too fast!:)
Matt what prenatal care did you guys take. Like my friend who has a really bad congenital heart problem that was discovered at the 3 month u/s she needed to be operated on straight away after birth or would have died. Did you guys make sure your bubs and mum where ok before going into the unassisted birth.
Natural process!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You two lovers, divine magical lovers, I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy to see that my husband and I are not the only two demented psycic juicy beyond belief lovers, and THANK YOU for calling out the wretched distorted male epidemic that is prevalent. We are one of the few LUCKY, BLISSED, WHOLE and CONECTED ones that have truly manifested our universal earth mate. BLESS YOUR FAMILY!!!!!!!! Love is bursting out of my hearts by seeing you both, and now little one.

I am so happy this method worked out for you and would love to read the book. Pls be mindful though that women in the third world die every day from birth complications as did many women in western history before hospitals. I myself was a breach and would have been brain damaged if my mum didn't get help xxx

YAY - no schooool :) Why don't you want to get into it. You should DEFINITELY get into it! :) It's my favourite topic and the next logical step. I want to cry when I see 2 year olds, so clever, absorbing so much information about the world around the them, and then see them lose it all when they start school, or even worse, pre-school which is just school training.

Women are meant to be viewed as THE most amazing, wondeful beings, purely due to the fact they BRING LIFE into this world..they should be encouraged to be at home with their children instead of forcing them OUT to work..to keep the treadmill going. The family unit is being systematically destroyed..by design!

I was against human cloning until seeing videos about their life together. Please tell me Matt has a twin. The world needs more men like him. Angela is so fortunate and clearly appreciates her husband's virtues.
I can so relate to their experience with wanting to be totally alone to deliver their baby. It will be me, my man & our baby. VIP only! I have such a fear of being forced to go to the hospital, I literally came up with a plan to escape this if I go into labor in public. Seriously!

Congratulations! I am so glad things went well for you! I'm an OB nurse 30yrs and a home birth midwife 8 yrs I believe that most births are without any complications. Because I have seen unexpected complications, I believe you take unnecessary risks for your child. My friend who had a home birth shoulder dystocia, death, believed and loved just as much as you do and she still lost her baby boy. Midwives by our nature are non intrusive, yet trained and wise.

I think Matt once you come down from you high blissed experience and just observe the gracefulness of motherhood you will really get the essence what its all about. I observe the video on how you are going on and on while Angela is sitting back listening. Let her speak about this matters because at the end of the day until you go through the process of have an entire human in you for 9 months and that being coming out of you,

Each birth is unique and different and respecting all births and the strength of women is what its about. Now that I'm settling in from my blisssssed out birthing experience I realize that actually women even having birth in hospital w or w/out drugs are just as 'brave'. As they are having babies in much more strenuous circumstances and still pull it off!
njeshg 2 months ago
At my birth, I barely knew the midwife was there. It was practically as though my husband and I were there alone. She simply observed me and checked the heart rate from time to time. She only offered suggestion or help when I asked for it which I rarely did. The beauty of the whole thing was after I gave birth she left out for us to bond and cleaned up everything so I may spend time with my family:)
njeshg 2 months ago
Wow... I am all for unassisted birth and Angela you are a remarkable woman for inspiring many women out there:) I recently had an homebirth myself With a Midwife (my son is 3 months). Matt by comparing any type of diet to birthing IS QUITE INSULTING to any woman who whether or not had a hospital birth or not!!! And just to see how you went off just a few mins prior on how Men are disrespecting women...SMDH. How about you being at a birth w a midwife then throw out some useless comparisons.

Being self aware, working with your body and fear release is the way to go. I love Shanley for letting it be known that birthing can be as normal as breathing. Of course a good diet factors greatly, but most of it is mental. And yeah, those that eat a SAD (or SMD - M for Modern) without question will do standard medicine without question (or with very little questioning for which nothing comes out for), as they will do standard 'education' without question.

It's kind of sad to see society turn so radically away from midwifery and the original hospitals founded by good women. Without the moral law and the authority of the Catholic Church, things have quickly devolved into the selling of body parts and the supposed cures for body parts. No wonder countries like India and China exterminate their children. They are about as far from the influence of the ancient Catholic Church that a country could be. There is much to learn about women in the Mid Ages.

@Brittanius95 there are countries where homeschooling is legal - and what Matt was touching a bit in his speech was the so called "Unschooling", which got this name just because there were more and more people that were doing something at home that was not the regular homeschooling. You can look up (on the internet for example) for the term "radical unschooling". There are a lot of variants out there and the first generations of "unschoolers" are already grown-ups and turned out just great.

You have a real opportunity to help other men learn to respect their women. Do not judge them. Encourage them to heal from the place they learned to disrespect women. They were all little boys once. Too many stop growing emotionally at a young age when they are abused or witness abuse of others. Choose compassion. Do not condemn. There is always hope. May God bless you on your journey as a father. Love to you, Angela and Oria!

I totally get it, & agree 100% with unassisted birth. I wish I could have done that. I'm a little jealous cuz I could'nt. My husband could & would have delivered our child no problem. But, I had really high blood pressure, & almost died. Even when I've gone raw vegan, my blood pressure issues have not been resolved.That is a whole other story I guess, but I'm grateful for you guys cuz most women can do this, they just need to be educated. I teach my kids at home and love it. Lots of family time!

I agree with what you are saying here, these ideas you have expressed should be more main-stream, and women would more than likely take advantage of them- I would have, except, not all of this was readily available to me at the time. I do use natural foods and always have taken the most natural path that was within reach while raising my son. I don't like putting him into public school- but home-schooling is not that prevalent where I live.

You are a living example of a loving, supportive husband. That's all you need to do. Many men out there will see that. If they have it in their hearts to wake up and change their lives, then that's brilliant. If not, then they will continue to be confused, and that is their journey in life. Compassion is the answer.

The only reason was because the labor wasn't progressing quickly enough even after them pumping me full of pitocin. *frown* (I didn't know any better back then) Is there any hope for an unassisted birth in the future? I am interested in the book, but I was wondering if this is addressed in the book? Thank you!! :)

But I dilated to 10 on the way to hospital! It felt totally manageable. 2nd was c also. Dialated again to 10 w/o drugs. Planned vbac but he was breech; one foot birthing while other was stuck up inside. They told me 100 yrs ago both of us would have died. So I am happy for both births, and my experience was bliss.

(Not that I didn't think that before) Matt, I admire you too for loving Angela the way you do. The mucus thing was hilarious...I'd love to hear you guys talk more about unschooling in a future video. Thank you guys for not being afraid to do things outside of the mainstream and setting a wonderful example for the rest of us.

I think that going through an unassisted birth with a woman really fast-tracks the whole "respecting women" epiphany for men. I've seen it with my husband and other husbands of UC women as well; seeing it from Matt is really beautiful. I love having him on board for my cause!

Wanting to get to the next stage is probably what all us parents feel, I know myself and my hubby felt that. That worry is always there. I still check my boys are breathing now, they are 16 & 12yrs, my 25 year old son has his own home & has made us grandparents for the 4th time...WOW! Time does go VERY quick but it is so nice being grandparents & sort of seeing my eldest son again through my grandsons.
I know what you mean about the man thing, we have now been married 30 yrs, it is all good now

If there is some infection in the eye you can dip cotton ball into the black or green tea and then wipe the eye along the lid from the side part to the center (nose) direction. Can repeat during the day for few times. Works very well and fast.
Thanks for the video.

you said it Matt..."the best way that a man can raise human consciousness is by supporting our woman and child as best as we can.'' How simple are the ways of love for those who are still human enough to want love. Who does not know the woman and childbearing is sacred is lost, and who abuses her is insane. Watching how you have grown and learned through being a conscious part of the co creative process is mind boggling and even your rage is awakened and refreshing. Keep speaking on this! <3

WOW! I am sharing this on my FB page.I know all men have it in them to feel, think, and act the way that you do, Matt. Unfortunately, not all men are as in touch and go beyond the physical, mainstream with all of it's limitations. This was my situation. My most courageous birth experiences have been in a hospital because that is where true courage is needed. Depression happens because men & women are both lost & stuck in the above cycle. Thank you for knowing what blessings to move towards!

In the future, I would love to watch a video of your opinions on homeschooling/unschooling etc.

Congratulations!! Wow, your channel is super fascinating, please keep doing what you're doing! Are you going to post more videos talking about the birth and how it went, how you did it etc? I know that's really personal, but it would be so interesting and helpful to people who are thinking about having an alternative birth. Lots of love!

"Oria" is a perfect name and I'm glad you had the wisdom to wait for her to tell you. You Matt have understood now what it means to be a man, and I tell you that tearfully in joy for you and all who will hopefully learn from you. Beautiful Angela, you are both lucky to have the love you have. You are all very blessed. Please keep speaking of your enlightened epiphanies on the love you have opened to for your woman and child. The world needs this radiance and the heart vibes you are emanating.

I want to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for posting this video!!!! I'm due in two weeks and was planning on having an unassisted home birth, but was almost scared into not having one, by outside influences. This video has totally given me the courage to go ahead with it again! Hope you don't mind, but can you share the home birth supplies to had on hand for the birth? That would help so much. Thank you again!!!

Dear Matt! .. just one thing... if husbands are disrespectful is because THEY DONTT KNOW!! so, why you dont explain.. not with anger... with fear they will NOT understand!!.. use all that enormous big infinite love and explain them how to be part of life.. if you send love.. you will recieve more love.. Of course I understand that you are pissed off!!.. but NOW, until NOW I understand what is all about.. and only with love you can have love.. thanks for all and recieve all my love

Thank you so much for the video! We delivered our third son at home, waterbirth, a couple of months ago. I can't tell you the way people act when they hear I deliver at home. Basically they always comment how "strong" I am , that they would need an epidural. It makes me sad that more women don't recognize the strength they have and the ability within themselves. God bless you and enjoy the time with your darling! Like so many have said, it goes way too fast!:)

Relax Matt - Babies aren't as fragile as they look - they are a lot stronger and able to tolerate a lot.

Unassisted birth sounds wonderful. I had complications for both my boys so am glad I was at the hospital.

breast milk is the best for the eyes and a little massage with your finger in the corner of the eye. It just releases the build up.

Matt what prenatal care did you guys take. Like my friend who has a really bad congenital heart problem that was discovered at the 3 month u/s she needed to be operated on straight away after birth or would have died. Did you guys make sure your bubs and mum where ok before going into the unassisted birth.
