This doctor did an AWESOME job, and thank God she went to the hospital instead of stayed at home with the midwife. Midwives like to think they know it all. Have they been to medical school for 10 years? No.
Um.... lying on your back shrinks your pelvis by about 3cm. It absolutely does not open your pelvis. That Dr needs to go watch some midwife assisted home births.
Why was this all about the dr? Some people can't help but criticize which is sad. Well done to the mum, it was all calm and beautiful and the fact that 'she' said 'I love you' to the dr shows that she felt comfortable and safe which is a great thing.
@EmpressButterfly1 She could have done it herself, if she would have NOT listened to the doctor and got on her back, the baby would have fallen into her hands or the fathers.
Squatting is the best way to give birth. It opens the birth canal wide and you are pushing with gravity.
I hate when they say they had a 'natural' birth when what the mean is a medication or drug free birth. I had two babies and I had painkillers. However, I carried both to term and pushed them out of my body, perfectly natural. Why would I want to suffer hours of pain if I don't have to do so?
I dislike this show because these OB/GYNS are so amazed by this woman's natural birth. natural mother led birth should be the way it is to begin with. someone in this profession should not be as amazed by a natural birth as these woman are.
Just a perspective from someone in the medical field....I beleive the reason OB's are so amazed by it is they don't see NATURAL birth as often as people think. It is not as common of a choice as it used to be. I think it is amazing when women choose this and I think it's awesome that someone could still be amazed by it after seeing it beofore. Not being a critic...just my perspective :-)
@1985jendi exactly the reason lots of women don't trust OB's and decide on home birth with midwives who HAVE witnessed 1000's of births. Midwifes are more experienced than OB's as you have just said, they don't witness natural birth as part of their roles or training, whereas midwifes do
on your back no, thats the HARDEST way cuz baby literaly has to go UP to get out. sitting upright lightly reclined with legs pulled back yes.much different.
that doc is stupid, sitting and pulling your legs back is the hardest way to get baby out. It's a known fact that, that position was created purely for doctors convenience and for when they use forcepts. Not to mention the pelvis opens an inch or two MORE when you are on all 4's. that lady is STUPID! wonder if she's ever had a baby.
at the end. God. You guys act like she's some retard. So you read a book/online article/ attended a childbirth class and now you're a doctor? You now know everything there is to know about childbirth? No. She did FINE. Both the mother and the doctor did great.
You know what? This was AWESOME. It was great. But evreyone needs to shut the hell up about the doctor. Really. Do you had a medical degree? This woman has spent years in school studying and becoming a doctor. YOU haven't. Some doctors are bad doctors I admit, but this doctor was a very good doctor. So she may have been wrong about the pelvis thing. And when she said the thing about the epidural, she did not mean that you're not in control, simply that women tend to become overwhelmed with pain.
at 6:33 the OB says, "You can push anyway you want to but the best way is for you to be sitting and pulling your legs back".
Simpson, Kathleen Rice. "When and How to Push: Providing the Most Current Information About Second-Stage Labor to Women During Childbirth Education"
J Perinat Educ. 2006 Fall; 15(4): 6–9
"Forcing women's legs back against their abdomen during pushing should be avoided because this results in stretching the perineum and increases the risk of perineal lacerations"
@aradiapaganus The OB continues, "That is what opens your pelvis the most." No. It doesn't. In fact it does the exact opposite... but itmakes the view easier for the OB. Sitting on your tailbone, or laying on your back causes contractions to be much worse as the wieght of the baby is on your sacrum and tailbone. You have to work against gravity and force the baby up and over your perineum-- which is tighten by having your legs pulled back (much more likely to tear).
@aradiapaganus The mother could have just birthed her baby in the squatting position she was in at 6:33, but that would be awkward for the OB. And the OB's comfort is really the thing to be concerned with--Not the increased risk of tearing, hip dislocation, fractured sacrum of the mother-- or the increase chance of shoulder dyscostia for the baby. There is nothing 'natural' about hospital birth, period
The reason why this woman had such a hard time is simple. They kept getting up and moving all over the place. Hard floor? Outside in the yard hanging onto a fence? Ridiculous. Every time this is done the body is naturally going to tighten up again. Furthermore she was getting way too much attention and not enough privacy and hands-off, which again, during times like this is going to increase tension because body/mind needs to be left alone. Simplicity, logic, privacy -- your friends to the end.
The doc does look like Britney Spears, and I think the pregnant woman's hubby looks like one of the main bad guys in "Romeo Must Die".... Mmmmm, sexy!
@VKMTkitty Agreed! I actually screamed at the screen when that woman said that was the best position...yeah for you! Trish was doing great on all fours!
But apart from that, a great video and lovely birth :)
'Deliver me'...the title already discloses the attitude of the show towards 'natural birth'. If they were really pro-natural birth without the drama of something about to go dreadfully wrong (because birth is not natural to the female body- so very flawed and inadequate without technology), shouldn't the title be 'Me birthing' as in birth being something a woman does as opposed to something being done to her?
There's no way I could have birthed on my back. I semi-squatted backwards in the bed for support. My mom said to turn around, but I refused to move. Her hand was beside her head, and I never felt it. Guess I did it right?
With routine directed pushing. Some researchers suggest it's harmful. Holding your breath a long time naturally decreases flow of 0xygen to your baby. Research suggests it's stresses & harms baby. Excess force of direct pushing can be harmful to your perineum, results in more tears & weak pelvic floor muscles months after birth. Weakness in these muscles is associated with incontinence Listen to your body, work with push urges, birth baby between contractions reducing the risk of tears
@mylovesofmylife Yes, I dislike their persistance on getting the fetus out as quickly as possible instead of letting mom birth naturally in her own time.The told me to push even when I didn't have a contraction! disliked hospital birth greatly.
Lying on your back may cause lower blood pressure and less blood flow to your baby due to the weight of the uterus on major blood vessels. When you lie on your back with your legs up in stirrups, you are actually pushing your baby out against gravity.
I feel so bad for this lady. The doctor definitely lied about laying on her back. I think anyone knows that squatting is one of the best positions (just not for the doctor).
I am HORRIFIED by that HUGE lie!!!!!! Oh my gosh, its medically proven that the pelvis is opened by squatting or kneeling rather than being on your back!
@100rrh The video was edited.And what makes you think I believe doctors are considerate? that's why I choose the alternative path.My alt doc is awesome as all heck.Ex modern docs, not so much.
@halosilverland Don't be scared!!! TV is all for ratings so of course they play up the drama! Giving birth naturally is awesome! I've had two natural deliveries and I would never do it another way! My advice is become very knowledgeable about what to expect and ways to cope, and hire a birth doula, they make a world of difference! Good luck :)
@amo1184 thats so great that you had a natural birth :) is it possible to do what you did in a hospital setting? I'm really turned off by how grabby the doctors and nurses are, no privacy, bright lights everywhere, etc. but not being in a hospital when I have a baby worries me because what would I do if something goes wrong?
That doctor SOO lied! The only person that benefits from the mother pushing on her back, is the doctor. The best position is the one that feels right for the mother, but if you want to open the pelvis, try squatting or pushing on all fours. These, however, require the doctor to either sit on the floor (gasp!) or get in a possibly uncomfortable position to catch the baby.
Beautiful birth, but next time I suggest a midwife! :)
I saw this on TV. BULL FUCKING SHIT doctor. Jesus. And that freaking music, omg, it's not the freaking apocalypse, people. It's a baby's birthday!!!! I HATE these shows. They are sooooo detrimental to new moms. Awful.
Im definitely going to have #2 at home... because NO doctors like that exist. I swear. Or hospitals. She was allowed to wear her own clothes! She didnt have a heplock or IV! She had a birthing ball in the room! She could push however felt natural! They didnt keep offering her drugs constantly! I swear, that only happened for the show. I have never heard (or experienced) that.
The doc was right about opening the pelvis and bending the legs, but she should have mentioned NOT to lay down.
hey! i was born in good sam! the good sam in los gatos california! but that doesnt look like good sam on the outside but the inside looks familiar! and good job! my mom had epidorel and was in labor with me for about 10 hours! lol
OMG! "DELIVER ME" Actually has a natural child birth on there?!?! AMAZING, and here i was thinking it was just a show to advertise C-Sections for Surgeons!!
The easiest position to deliver in is NOT lying on your back. It's the squatting position. Of course you have to be careful not to overpush and drop the baby, but squatting opens your pelvis the most and you have gravity working in your favor. You are also least likely to tear in this position. Most hospital doctors do not like this position because they cannot easily access the child as it's coming, but that should give them no reason to lie....
That video made me cry...You are an amazing family, your husband is so supportive! I'm expecting my first baby in 6 weeks...It's a very exciting time!
I hate the doctor. She acts like it's totally amazing that she can give birth the way nature intended, as though she were some sort of freak. I'm so scared of encountering this.
yes ppl but shes not lying flat on her back the hob is raised shes semi reclined...thats how i delivered and my delivery was a breeze infact they had me bent in half like a pretzel haha
"Horrible, Horrible, Horrible" pressure...... I don't think the doctor should have suggested with that... I think "Pressure" was all mother needed to hear/expect...
Just in case no one else has said this: on her back pulling legs back is by far NOT the best position for the baby. Easy to find research that supports this.
@nktaliaferro Every birth is different and each with it's own special way is a unique delivery. This may well have been the best position here, seeing as the mother wasn't labouring too long and had no problem with the baby coming out. When it comes to dialation gravity does help. Before the birth of her baby she was perched up and bearing down. Then asked to lay down as she didn't have long. If she had laboured on her back all the way, then she would more than likely have had a longer labour.
The narrator is really off-putting."Trish, who is still dead-set on going all-natural." As if it's so hard to believe that someone wants a natural (normal) birth!!!
Illuminati=ET kin aka gods, Annunaki, Ea, dragons, angels/demons, Satan, Pepsi, naga, vampires, bluebloods, Al Gore, Windsors, Rothschilds, Rockefellars etc who rule cults like Freemasonry.

Support Dr Deagle, Stewart Swerdlow, Oracle Broadcasting, gardeners and free-energy technology!
First you are awesome! What a wonderful birth you had! Also great for you to have had a natural hospital birth, that's not easy!
Ok I can understand that it's editing, BUT 2 big things here. Other mamas don't know this is edited and are taking what she says here as truth, "... but the easiest angle for the baby is if there is any way you can be sitting and pulling your legs back. Only because that is what opens your pelvis the most." So that's what everyone else hears and believes.
Love this birth..wish there were more of this type of birth on this show. Dr did a great job supporting the natural birth process. If we only had more doctors willing to be encouraging of natural birth..even if they personally prefer a more managed birth. This is the type of birth midwives see 95 % of the time. Excellent!
So while we only hear her say that being on my back would be best, we miss the full context-- this way she could support my perineum & prevent tearing.
Hi folks, Trish here (mom in this video). I gotta step in to point out that the editing here is misleading. We all know that being on your back closes the pelvis, slowing baby down. But by the time Dr. Hill suggested a change in my position, BABY WAS ALREADY THROUGH MY PELVIS. He was CROWING. He had moved through my birth canal so fast, Dr. Hill was concerned that my perineum would be damaged, since it hadn't had much time to stretch.
precisely spoken by the Holy Spirit, through this woman is a marvelous microphone for God with her words of Love and Glory! What a great experience & parable to life, we have to endure to that very intense pain & still commit to going through this, (assistance to life), after that one moment, it is easy again, the rest (deliverance) becomes gratifying & rewarding. God Is Good, God Is The Great I Am & God knows His perfect timing, testing, teaching for all humankind, descendants of Jesus Christ.
i also did it au natural, but because I began experienceing preeclampsia, I was given pictocin to speed up the contractions but that's just to soften the cervix, etc. If u keep ur chin to ur chest and concentrate the push without YELLING, it's easier and once you get the head out, when the rest flows....it feels like you just expelled 100 lbs of jello! It feels wiered and relieving at the same time! Other moms who went through it can understand! LOL!
omg, she made it look so easy. I'm 26weeks right now, and hoping to have natural birth at the hospital. I'm amazed at the number of women with birth videos, I think I'd be too embarrassed to go on camera, even if it was my hubby taping...
yeah.. i think that doc totally lied to her about the position being "best for the baby." hard for the mama to argue with a statement like that, meanwhile the doctor doesn't have to bend or lean to help the mother in a better position, such as in a squat or on all fours.
don't know why doc made her get on her back dosen't that make the pelvis smaller?? but good to see a birth like this w an ob in the hospital! way to go mama
can everyone stop getting all upset on the ob & hospital. keep your opinions to yourself. i didn't pay much attention to that. all i was seeing was a beautiful miracle coming into this world. a gift from God. a perfect & healthy baby boy. and that girl did very well if that were me in that bed id be yelling & kicking & screaming, i would be screaming so loud you could hear me from the parking lot. so i give that momma some props. im 41 weeks & im going to try to go all natural.
I hate how freaking negative the narrator is. I don't think I've ever seen a natural birth on "deliver me". The doctor totally lied to her about the birth position. It closes the pelvic outlet by 30%. It's easiest for THE DOCTOR, not the baby or the mom. And it's NOT rare for a mom to be in control when she doesn't have an epidural. This is why I hate hospital birth with a typical ob.
Supine is not the best angle for giving birth! Ah! It's squatting, if you must go for the best angle, but almost anything is better than supine. But other than that it was good to see a relatively non-invasive doctor.
In the postion that she was actually is a good postion for birth it is when you are flat on your back that does not help... but she was on a angle... really it is how ever you feel comfortable... brought tears to my eyes natural was much more of an expierence with ym first baby i had an epidural on my second i wanted it all natural.. and i did it.. like thousands of woman before me.. focus is the biggest piece of advice i can give...
I felt a little uncomfortable watching this when the doctor told her to switch from a perfectly suitable birthing position to her back and telling her to push when she wasn't feeling the urge... Also what is with the big bight light shining on her hoo ha!! fair play to the mother especially with all that unnecessary drama surrounding her when she got to the hospital... jeesh..
I sure you'll do fine. Whether your baby is a boy or girl, I hope he/she is born very healthy. Also in the video, the doctor who helped trish with the delivery looked sorta like Dr.G [in my opinion, no one has to agree (unless you do agree).]
@swalestacey It's the least productive. It slows down and usually elevates the pain. 70% and possibly more of merican births are delived laying on the back. Yes this is easier for the Nurse/Midwife/Doctor to see into the vaginal area. But they can't force you. It's almost entirely up to the comfort of the mother. And in some cases (Where I said Almost) an intervention is required. Which is usually mother on back with the aid of forceps or vacume etc etc.
@swalestacey The doctor didn't say it was the best position, she just said that it's the easiest way for the baby to come out because if you can hold your legs back it'll open the pelvis more than standing upright or on your knees. She also said her patient should do it the way she wants. She just gave some advice, like a good doctor should. ;-)
@triniusmcwife 1/2 The best position is the one the mother feels most comfortable in. There are different benefits to different positions. Squatting is a good one as it is shown to open up the pelvis up to 30% wider and gravity helps with the positive feedback loop that fuels labor. Side-lying or being on your hands and knees can help reduce tearing. Water births also have a multitude of benefits such as lowering the mother's blood pressure and redistributing her blood flow so,
@triniusmcwife 2/2 if the mother does tear, she's apt to have a lower blood loss. Being on your back is not very comfortable for most pregnant women in general. A woman being comfortable is pretty crucial to a natural labor. :)
consider me well informed.... ive been so scared to have a baby, with so many things to worry about... this vid has made so many things clear... bless the person who posted it... i may actually be a momma one day!!!
The lithotomy position (the position that Trish pushes in) closes the pelvic outlet by up to 30%! Therefore, this position does NOT favor the mother or the baby. I'm appalled by Dr. Hill's selfishness and/ or ignorance!
It's amazing Trish birthed naturally, *despite* the OBs she had because every other show is either about an induction, augmentation, or C-section. I acutally clicked on this video because I couldn't believe the title -- the show Deliver Me paired with Natural Birth???
I stopped watching this show because all of the doctors are shown to be so invasive and unsupportive of physiological birth. Dr. Hill's true colors show through when she speaks of the "horrible, horrible, horrible pressure" and especially when she flat out lies to Trish and tells her to push while lying in bed.
The doctor lied, it's the worst positin to deliver!! That position is just for the doctors' ease to see things, it's in that position that you tear the most!
That woman is briliant, that is what I want, a natural birth in hospital but i'm so scared of paint I doubt I will do it without the epidural. That midwife is annoying, she seems fake like she's thinking 'yeah i'm on tv"
I can't wait until I have a baby =]

@mylovesofmylife Yes, I dislike their persistance on getting the fetus out as quickly as possible instead of letting mom birth naturally in her own time.The told me to push even when I didn't have a contraction! disliked hospital birth greatly.

Lying on your back may cause lower blood pressure and less blood flow to your baby due to the weight of the uterus on major blood vessels. When you lie on your back with your legs up in stirrups, you are actually pushing your baby out against gravity.

@halosilverland Don't be scared!!! TV is all for ratings so of course they play up the drama! Giving birth naturally is awesome! I've had two natural deliveries and I would never do it another way! My advice is become very knowledgeable about what to expect and ways to cope, and hire a birth doula, they make a world of difference! Good luck :)

@amo1184 thats so great that you had a natural birth :) is it possible to do what you did in a hospital setting? I'm really turned off by how grabby the doctors and nurses are, no privacy, bright lights everywhere, etc. but not being in a hospital when I have a baby worries me because what would I do if something goes wrong?
chevalover06 1 year ago
That doctor SOO lied! The only person that benefits from the mother pushing on her back, is the doctor. The best position is the one that feels right for the mother, but if you want to open the pelvis, try squatting or pushing on all fours. These, however, require the doctor to either sit on the floor (gasp!) or get in a possibly uncomfortable position to catch the baby.
Beautiful birth, but next time I suggest a midwife! :)

She had a birthing ball in the room! She could push however felt natural! They didnt keep offering her drugs constantly! I swear, that only happened for the show. I have never heard (or experienced) that.
The doc was right about opening the pelvis and bending the legs, but she should have mentioned NOT to lay down.

triniusmcwife 1 year ago
The easiest position to deliver in is NOT lying on your back. It's the squatting position. Of course you have to be careful not to overpush and drop the baby, but squatting opens your pelvis the most and you have gravity working in your favor. You are also least likely to tear in this position. Most hospital doctors do not like this position because they cannot easily access the child as it's coming, but that should give them no reason to lie....

Just in case no one else has said this: on her back pulling legs back is by far NOT the best position for the baby. Easy to find research that supports this.
nktaliaferro 2 years ago 25
@nktaliaferro Every birth is different and each with it's own special way is a unique delivery. This may well have been the best position here, seeing as the mother wasn't labouring too long and had no problem with the baby coming out. When it comes to dialation gravity does help. Before the birth of her baby she was perched up and bearing down. Then asked to lay down as she didn't have long. If she had laboured on her back all the way, then she would more than likely have had a longer labour.

First you are awesome! What a wonderful birth you had! Also great for you to have had a natural hospital birth, that's not easy!
Ok I can understand that it's editing, BUT 2 big things here. Other mamas don't know this is edited and are taking what she says here as truth, "... but the easiest angle for the baby is if there is any way you can be sitting and pulling your legs back. Only because that is what opens your pelvis the most." So that's what everyone else hears and believes.

So while we only hear her say that being on my back would be best, we miss the full context-- this way she could support my perineum & prevent tearing.
snarkytrish 2 years ago
Hi folks, Trish here (mom in this video). I gotta step in to point out that the editing here is misleading. We all know that being on your back closes the pelvis, slowing baby down. But by the time Dr. Hill suggested a change in my position, BABY WAS ALREADY THROUGH MY PELVIS. He was CROWING. He had moved through my birth canal so fast, Dr. Hill was concerned that my perineum would be damaged, since it hadn't had much time to stretch.
snarkytrish 2 years ago 5
precisely spoken by the Holy Spirit, through this woman is a marvelous microphone for God with her words of Love and Glory! What a great experience & parable to life, we have to endure to that very intense pain & still commit to going through this, (assistance to life), after that one moment, it is easy again, the rest (deliverance) becomes gratifying & rewarding. God Is Good, God Is The Great I Am & God knows His perfect timing, testing, teaching for all humankind, descendants of Jesus Christ.
idiannalynne 2 years ago
i also did it au natural, but because I began experienceing preeclampsia, I was given pictocin to speed up the contractions but that's just to soften the cervix, etc. If u keep ur chin to ur chest and concentrate the push without YELLING, it's easier and once you get the head out, when the rest flows....it feels like you just expelled 100 lbs of jello! It feels wiered and relieving at the same time! Other moms who went through it can understand! LOL!

gabrielrian4crystal 2 years ago
I hate how freaking negative the narrator is. I don't think I've ever seen a natural birth on "deliver me". The doctor totally lied to her about the birth position. It closes the pelvic outlet by 30%. It's easiest for THE DOCTOR, not the baby or the mom. And it's NOT rare for a mom to be in control when she doesn't have an epidural. This is why I hate hospital birth with a typical ob.
hislivelystone 2 years ago 13
Supine is not the best angle for giving birth! Ah! It's squatting, if you must go for the best angle, but almost anything is better than supine. But other than that it was good to see a relatively non-invasive doctor.

swalestacey 2 years ago 48
@swalestacey It's the least productive. It slows down and usually elevates the pain. 70% and possibly more of merican births are delived laying on the back. Yes this is easier for the Nurse/Midwife/Doctor to see into the vaginal area. But they can't force you. It's almost entirely up to the comfort of the mother. And in some cases (Where I said Almost) an intervention is required. Which is usually mother on back with the aid of forceps or vacume etc etc.
0Chelle0 1 year ago
@swalestacey The doctor didn't say it was the best position, she just said that it's the easiest way for the baby to come out because if you can hold your legs back it'll open the pelvis more than standing upright or on your knees. She also said her patient should do it the way she wants. She just gave some advice, like a good doctor should. ;-)

triniusmcwife 1 year ago
@triniusmcwife 1/2 The best position is the one the mother feels most comfortable in. There are different benefits to different positions. Squatting is a good one as it is shown to open up the pelvis up to 30% wider and gravity helps with the positive feedback loop that fuels labor. Side-lying or being on your hands and knees can help reduce tearing. Water births also have a multitude of benefits such as lowering the mother's blood pressure and redistributing her blood flow so,
polarkksalsa 1 year ago
@triniusmcwife 2/2 if the mother does tear, she's apt to have a lower blood loss. Being on your back is not very comfortable for most pregnant women in general. A woman being comfortable is pretty crucial to a natural labor. :)

blackpixie987 2 years ago 5
The lithotomy position (the position that Trish pushes in) closes the pelvic outlet by up to 30%! Therefore, this position does NOT favor the mother or the baby. I'm appalled by Dr. Hill's selfishness and/ or ignorance!
It's amazing Trish birthed naturally, *despite* the OBs she had because every other show is either about an induction, augmentation, or C-section. I acutally clicked on this video because I couldn't believe the title -- the show Deliver Me paired with Natural Birth???
UrbanCrunchyMama 2 years ago 5
Trish was AMAZING!
I stopped watching this show because all of the doctors are shown to be so invasive and unsupportive of physiological birth. Dr. Hill's true colors show through when she speaks of the "horrible, horrible, horrible pressure" and especially when she flat out lies to Trish and tells her to push while lying in bed.
