Thanks for the lovely video! Check out my 'Vaccination Information Network' and Childbirth Information Network' on facebook. I have just posted an item about the use of pitocin in hospitals to deliberately cause fetal distress as an excuse to perform a cesarean!!!

I am planning on a unassisted home birth by myself.

[emmy1314]

this is great

[shoughoff]

I cried too. This was just the calm birth story I needed before going in to labor. Thank you.

[beamismyfreind]

beautiful! i cried... and im a guy. brought back memories of our abbi's homebirth. thanx

[sacredmama7]

Beautiful home water birth, thank you so much for sharing your story of empowering birth! I feel inspired by this to make my own waterbirth picture story, and I hope our stories inspire other mothers to choose peaceful waterbirths and birthcenter or homebirths over drugged hospital birth! Having done both I can say that waterbirth is the way it was ment to be!! I felt violated and tramatized after the hospital birth of my first, and my waterbirth healed me, I was reborn when I trusted birth!!

I wish yo7 the best! And may god Look above this child am keep it a micracle ^^.

Your video was amazing, inspirational and moving. What a beautiful view on birth. I had my first at home 11 months ago and will never have it any other way! Thank you for creating a video that can be shared with others to show just how beautiful and empowering birth is!!!!

[mabelle83]

What a beautiful slideshow. Brought back so many emotions for me from our homebirth 7 months ago. There is nothing like it.

[RevelationofJohn]

God is blessing you and your family. This video is very beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

[ivesthesecond]

your video made me cry- i had my first child, a boy, three months ago at home with two fantastic midwives, and your video brought all of the emotion right back--it's so true the quote you put about the secret of women's strength- beautiful

[MexiRose]

that was beautiful, the black and white effect was so cool! And Abigail is just adorable! I was just about crying!

[jasmineandjacob]

[ceicilbee]

[FairyRebecca]

[cvrmurphy]

Beautiful!!! What is that song? I know I've heard it somewhere, but I love it. Help?

[KDmb3]

I love the song too. <3 It's 'Legends of the Fall' by Jay Ungar and Molly Mason from their 'Lovers Waltz' album.

[MoshaTJ]

[Trisha351]

Congratulations on the beautiful homebirth of little Abby. You did a great job. I am due to have my 5th baby (second homebirth) in December. Feel free to watch my montage I have done of my last homebirth.

[77shi77]

Absolutely beautiful video!! We had our first home birth in January, and it was amazing. Our first was a natural birth (with a Doula) in the hospital too, and I loved my birth so so much, that it paved the way to our HB in January. I can't wait to birth again!

Beautiful family, you husband looks so sweet and in love with all of you!! Congrats, she is a gorgeous baby girl!

[heatherj423]

I'm in tears. These pictures are so beautiful. It's wonderful you were able to share so much of the experience. You rock, mama!

[doulakaren]

Just wonderful! Congratulations!

[kadopotato88]

[cheaper2costar]

You did a really great job. Although you might not have seen it, through pain and hurt, theres love and peace..you just have to perservier to find it. You did and it was the most beautiful I've seen.

Congratz!

[godzgirl2003]

I just watched your beautiful video and it brought tears to my eyes. Childbirth has always been an incredible part of life for me and I have shared my journey with many. Thank you for sharing your tender moments with me. May your lives always be blessed with the love I have seen in your video.

[lebo365]

you did a really great job. as a 14 year old boy doing a project, i was convinced that birth was something that was painful, of course i would never no that for sure. you showed me that it is painful but it pays off from the heart. congratz

[griffithgirls]

The more of these beautiful home births that I watch, the more I want to try it for myself...assuming I ever get pregant again! (we currently have three daughters)

God bless your beautiful family! :-)

[frankie3960]

beautiful

[frankie3960]

beautiful.

[childbearing]

Those are some of the most gorgeous, touching photographs I've ever seen. If only THESE pictures of birth were mainstream award winners, home birth would regain it's rightful place in America, abortion rates would plummet, families would be happier, etc. etc.

I have a dear friend who just underwent the knife simply due to her baby being breech who I want to see this as I think it will help her want to go for a hbac next time!!!

THANK you beautiful family for sharing!!!

In Jesus' name~

[DestinyKingdom1]

whatever,I'am going to blow chunks now...thanks for nothing!

[sindiwe]

oh dear, I'm crying....

Everything was just gorgeous!!!!!!!

Well done brave mommy and daddy.

[octanebeetle]

What a great video--just beautiful! We had a home birth with our last child and we had a great experience too! Congratulations!

[mutualalliances]

gorgeous video!!

[softletters]

we used an aquadoula too! i LOVED that thing. this was such a gorgeous video. bless you for blessing the world with birthing the way it was intended to be. i made a video of our birth too! gosh babies just fill my heart so full with love

[nalawest]

wow. wow. almost n tears that was great

[ravenflower4]

Waht agreat video. It was so calm and loving. My first (twins) were born by C-section and it was awful and not a great experience. Next time I am going to have a non-assisted birth no matter what.

[Hottie3216]

I love this video!

[catalystmom2be]

I'm pregnant with my first and I'm planning on a hospital birth. However, we are going to still have a drug free natural birth. I think that since it is my first, it would be the next best thing. We will have a doula with us to be our advocate at the hospital to take away some of the scare tactics that the hospital may put on us.

[buddylover1201]

record it

[Between3Boys]

Doulas are rad! They're one of the best tools you can have a for an unmedicated, hospital birth! And I'm not just saying that because I am a doula who plans on getting her Certified Nurse Midwife degree. ;-)

[annievideo]

Beautiful. My first daughter was born in a hospital as well, it was a wonderful pregnancy but she was born by c-section... Our second daughter almost was born at home, it wasn't posible, but she arrived with respect and love in a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After C-section).

Thanks for sharing. (And sorry for my english! I'm spanish)

[mrsmama21]

Thankyou so much for sharing this video. Our first daughter was born in a hospital as well, an experience we dont wish to repeat. I'm 5 weeks along with our second child, and hoping/planning for a home water birth this time around. Videos like yours are so inspiring and peaceful, and just makes me even more confident in our decision to have a more gentle experience this time. Your daughter is beautiful, bless you all

[mummaloop]

I've been so disturbed by some of the hospital birth videos I've seen - all those latex gloves and tubes and machines and people in masks everywhere. Your birth looked so special and your daughter is lovely. God bless you all.

[ConPassione75]

Absolutely stunning. Your baby girl is beautiful, thanks so much for sharing this.

[ChristsInstrument]

Thank you, this video is so encouraging to those considering home birth in the distant future. God bless you and your beautiful girls.

[stitus1979]

Beautiful! There really is something magical about a homebirth.

[dirthpool]

Very beautiful. Thank you for sharing. The photos we beautifully taken and showed so much emotion. Just stunning.

[acnandgremlin2]

My older brother and sister were born in a hospital, but I was a home birth, and my parents say that it was so much more magical.

[icandy01]

this is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooooooooooooo boring

[mommy2madison99]

Thank you so much for putting this video on youtube. It was wonderful. I wish everyone understood that childbirth does not always have to be so medical, and that it is not a surgery. Congrats to you and your beautiful family.

[KDmb3]

Thanks so much for the kind words!

LoBP ~ The song is "Legends of the Fall" by Jay Ungar and Molly Mason (from their Lover's Waltz CD). I love it too. <3

[cuteasabutton]

that was fabulous congrats

[LoBP]

what song is this? it's beautiful!

[picturelady79]

What a beautiful video. It made me cry. Wonderful choice of music, photography...even the quote at the end. Congratulations on the birth of that beautiful baby girl. God bless your newest addition!
