@backupaccount18 It's believed to be therapeutic. Dolphins are can see inside our bodies like a sonagram and are incredibly attracted to pregnant women often pointing their beak at them (in fact, they exclude pregnant women from swimming with them sometimes b/c the dolphins will ignore all other guests). They've been known to take the baby and lift it up for its 1st breath which is something they do for their own young.
Dolphins have sonar and are actually able to see inside our bodies like X-Ray vision...science has shown they can see the baby while inside the mom like an ultrasound, even hear the fetal heartbeat! :)
Beautiful. Water births are very relaxing. I cant wait to have another this time I am hoping to do it with the dolphins. I hear it is quite the experience
3. I was at my sisters home water birth (as in, my mom giving birth to my sis). Babies do not just emerge from their mothers legs in little over a minute. They are not pop tarts. Birth is loud and bloody and messy, and it takes a loooong dang time (It felt long for me, what with my mother screaming off her friggn lungs). And when the baby is here, there's a shitload of gunk. That very pretty baby is way too clean.
i didnt see any blood or anything when the baby came out..idk if this is real...but if it is its a beautifil thing...it was so cute when the baby was crying in the water....
scientifically this is possible cause a new born baby cant die in water cause in her mothers womb he is in water and oxygen he gets from mother through placenta
Dolphin are very good at echolocation and they can even "see" the fetus in the mother's uterus. They can hear the fetus's heartbeat. Dolphin are mammals like us and they like pregnant woman, because they are curios about a new life developing in her womb.
This is so beautiful! I can't imagine being so blessed by having this experience with one of the most intelligent, beneveolent creatures on earth! To give birth is the ultimate sacred act of being a woman. I still have tears. Thank you for sharing this beautiful video. Namaste'
This is just so beautiful. Makes you wonder why we eat animals, when they are so akin to us. we have to learn so much from them. thansk for the uploading and the brave family showing the birth on cam.
@eirinoulaki You know amniotic fluid is clear right? And by the time the baby actually comes out, there's very very little fluid left anyway...you know because usually the water breaks several minutes or hours earlier.
@soleil2k4 Agreed! But, there is still some fluid inside and it comes out after the baby is born... Well... I don't know! I think this video isn't 100% real, but I love the "waterbirth" way (including the dolphin!<3)! ;)
Did I ask you? I'll use my brain when you stop talkin out of your ass. And what the fuck, you think I'm dumb? She's gonna have birth in the water purposely knowing her baby was drowning? People are stupid shitless these days. Good bye.
Yea some morons even think that after living in a fluid filled sac for 40+weeks that the less than 4 seconds they spend under water in a water birth are "drowning" the baby...how stupid can some people be, right?
@mmightymaw01 The baby isn't drowing, the baby is still breathing within the mother (like when it is inside the placenta). The baby doesn't start breathing through the lungs until it hits the air. Water births are very safe and very comforting to the baby and the mother, its actaully creates a non stressful enviorment for the baby to be born into.Tons of postive benifits for both the mom and baby! So do a little research before you start insulting people.
@mmightymaw01 babies breath amniotic fluid while in the womb, the only way to drown a newborn baby is to take it out the water and/or cut the umbillical cord and put it back in the water... and if drowning babies during water birth was even possible, it would not be allowed, think with your brain next time.....
Babies are suspended in amniotic fluid while in the womb so why would they drown in a water birth?? I am pregnant and intend to have a water birth it is much more calming,a natural type of pain relief, and babies are much more relaxed being born into liquid. The dolphin is interesting but they do say you should birth in warm water to prevent shock not in cold.
I watched two movies of two different women giving birth who not only were
not in pain, but they were having orgasms while having their babies—long, extended orgasms lasting about twenty minutes. It was total pleasure. I know that’s the way it’s supposed to be. It simply makes sense, and these women were proving it.
Now they just have the instruments and equipment stuck in a corner somewhere because there simply aren’t any problems. I don’t know if they
know why, but for some reason, when a woman is floating in water, it seems like most complications solve themselves.
I got to spend some time with a woman who was an assistant with Charkovsky in Russia. She had brought back many films that were taken during the births.
Dolphins have preferences with humans. This is not an absolute rule, but is usually true. If you go swimming with dolphins and there are children around, the dolphins go to the children first. If there are no children, they go to the women. If there are no women, they go to the men. And if there’s a woman who’s pregnant, everyone else can forget it—she gets their total attention.
They seem to be superior in one way or another. France has also had underwater births—over 20,000. They give birth in big tanks. When they first started doing this, they had all the instruments laid out on tables and all the emergency supplies ready, with a doctor standing by in case there was a problem. But they didn’t have a problem for a long time; a year went by and they still hadn’t had a problem. Still another year went by, and finally 20,000 births went by without one single complication
weird...I don't have problem with water birthing and i know that it has been done for centuries and that many native/ancient peoples have birth in natural water sources so the sterility isn't an issue for me perse, but in what looks like an aquatic center with a dolphin? why? how is that natural? it seems just as artificial as a hospital to me... if not more.
The baby had been surrounded by water for nine months. Some times its more, sometimes its less.. there is no "timer" that goes off for the baby to just start breathing for no reason. Babies have what is called a "natural dive reflex" if the cheek of the baby isnt hitting air, he wont breath in. The FIRST breath isnt taken until the umbilical cord hits the air. That's why the best time to teach someone how to swim is when they are still babies (Nirvana CD cover ring a bell??)
Allright guys for all of you who put negative comments down, look at sonic waves and the effects of whale sonar on children's healing... then if you think it's cruel on the dolphin look how close the dolphin is it's not being forced to do that as anybody who worked with dolphins would tell you, for the dolphin it is a privilege and i don't mean that from a human perspective. I'm just wondering where this took place, because I would like it for my wife, when she gives birth.
okay...beautiful but very diturbing...why would you want to have a dolphin sniffing ur va jay jay while ur giving birth....doenst make sense to me but then again...
Trying to look at this from a scientific perspective, it could be the sonar that the dolphin gives off that relaxes the mother and baby, as well.
It's not surprising that a baby does well with water birth, as humans are still somewhat connected to our evolutionary heritage of aquatic animals. It could be that delivering in water causes less cognitive trauma as opposed to more aggressive conventional means.
wow that's amazing i would love to do something as beautiful as that its so inspirational it must have been an amazing experience for you and the baby
Also i didnt really think of the fact that there would be dolphin feaces in the water and they swim in saltwater .. although at first glance it seems relaxing when you really think about it its not very sanitary ..
i am a marine mamal trainer and i work with dolphins. I dont know what to think about having a baby with dolphins swiming arround you, even though they are really friendly you never know their reaction to something new, and the water is really really cold allways and salty so that must be really disturbing for a child birth. I wish there was more information about all of these
i read in the book of FlowerOfLife that giving birth with dolphins, you cant feel any pain, women have orgazms during childbirth. The dolphins instictivly come to pregnant women, and that children who were born that way have bigger IQ
"Full immersion in water promotes physiological responses in the mother that reduce pain including a redistribution of blood volume..." & also "Water births have been associated with faster delivery and less blood loss". Placenta and all the other stuff comes out some minutes later if the video was longer you would've seen it. Before you open your mouth, go study biology.
Absolutely beautiful and the most natural way of giving birth - and our gentle dolphin friend, as a guardian angel looking over this precious moment ! FrostByte, shame on you for such a comment. How would you like it if someone said that about the time of your birth ? And, Jessica15368, there was nothing dangerous about this, not for mom or for baby. You need to study up on child birth - and dolphins and think twice about dangers in this world ! Beautiful video - it warmed my heart !
@refoliation Oh my , you made laugh so hard....I was trying to watch videos with my wife - I was so mad at this stupid video and then I read your comments ...you made my day ....Hilarious..
That was beautiful! lol, Good job on the music, works wonders on people. Whats sad here is these people probably believe the dolphin will somehow have an effect on the birth/child.
It has something to do with physics. The baby does not take a breath underwater, just as it does not in utero. When the pressure changes at the surface of the water, the lungs expand and the baby takes a breath.
Also, hmmmmm... we don't see any of the painful parts of labor. Everyone who can't wait to have a sea-pal present, hi: There is more to labor than this. Just because it looks idyllic doesn't mean everyone should feel compelled to purchase this experience for her/his very own. How 'bout the following decades raising/guiding the kid? What if the dolphin doesn't stick it out with you? Seriously, there's more to birth & parenting than orchestrating natural-like experiences. Just a thought.
Mom's wearing a wristband (like an amusement park day pass). Or maybe an employee ID? Is she a dolphin trainer at this basin so they already know her & have a relationship with her & are curious about what's up with their pal? Otherwise, I can't imagine just the cost in soooo many directions.
P.S. Having an animal is present doesn't constitute a "natural" birth. Yes, biomedicine could back off a little, but revisiting what "natural" means is a capital idea.
judging from the tiare flower, this easily could have been done in the islands of Tahiti- the water that those dolphins tolerate is actually almost body temperature. However, I do not agree with captive dolphins unless they are being rehabilitated.
Wonder if that dolphin thinks humans are just plain retarded... Here Flippy, jump through this hoop, catch this fish, and watch me drop a baby in the water now. I think Dolphins are interested in us becasue we are just so bizarre and off the wall. Dolphin thought- Why is this land creature giving birth in the water? Do we crawl up on land to have our babies? Humans dont make any sense...
ACTUALLY it is a Dolphin. And it is safer, more hygienic, and a much more peaceful transition from womb to world for the child and mother. But nice try.
No the baby wont drown while in the water. 1. It just spent about 40 weeks in water, 7 seconds is not going to be a problem. 2. Babies "breath" through the umbilical cord not their mouths, throats, or lungs until they are exposed to air or the umbilical cord is cut.
female dolphins are actually very maternal and when a dolphin gives birth they all come together to support the mother and protect the baby, this dolphin most likely knows she's giving birth and isn't going to hurt her. I wouldn't give birth this way, but she won't hurt the baby.
Yes, that's true. Female DOLPHINS are very maternal. And other DOLPHINS will often support a mother and baby DOLPHIN during and after birth.
There is absolutely no reason to believe they would act the same around the mother and child of another species. In fact, time and time again, nature has shown us the exact opposite. Once again, we're talking about wild animals. Sure they look cute. Sure they are relatively intelligent. But wild animals nonetheless.
Actually "time and time again" DOLPHINS have been present and very maternal during the birth of other mammals. And they are rarely aggressive without being provoked. If they were as aggressive as you are trying to claim, Sea World wouldn't be what is is today now would it?
cleary none of you know anything about a dolphins sense of smell and i certainly doubt a baby smells anything like a fish now it might mistake it for a toy lol...no i doubt that also
This is beautiful though...what film is this from?

@wayniac917: A Russian named
Igor Charkovsky has been involved in underwater birthing for a long time. He has probably assisted with at least 20,000
underwater births. His daughter, one of the first to be born underwater, was in her twenties, I think, when the following
incident took place. Charkovsky and his team had taken a woman to the Black Sea for an underwater birth. They were
sitting there prepared for the birth, with the woman lying in water about two feet deep.
AgeOfkaoz 1 year ago
As I remember, three dolphins approached, pushed everybody away and took over. The dolphins did something that
looked like scanning up and down her body—something I have experienced, and which does something to the human
system. The woman gave birth with almost no pain or fear. It was a phenomenal experience. That experience with
underwater birthing began a new practice of using dolphins as midwives, which has now spread all over the world.

That little incoming baby is the greatest thing of all. The dolphins become very excited when
they see a human giving birth. They just love it.
Dolphins can do things that are really amazing. Babies who were born with midwifing dolphins, at least as it’s going in Russia, are
extraordinary children. From everything I’ve read so far, not one of those babies has an IQ under 150, and they all have extremely
stable emotional bodies and extremely strong physical bodies.

Absolutely beautiful and the most natural way of giving birth - and our gentle dolphin friend, as a guardian angel looking over this precious moment ! FrostByte, shame on you for such a comment. How would you like it if someone said that about the time of your birth ? And, Jessica15368, there was nothing dangerous about this, not for mom or for baby. You need to study up on child birth - and dolphins and think twice about dangers in this world ! Beautiful video - it warmed my heart !

That was beautiful! lol, Good job on the music, works wonders on people. Whats sad here is these people probably believe the dolphin will somehow have an effect on the birth/child.

how does the water not go up his nose or in his mouth :S
Natoyle93 2 years ago
It has something to do with physics. The baby does not take a breath underwater, just as it does not in utero. When the pressure changes at the surface of the water, the lungs expand and the baby takes a breath.

Newborns have a reflex that stops them from breathing in water.

The same way it doesn't when it lived for 40 weeks in its mother's womb?

Also, hmmmmm... we don't see any of the painful parts of labor. Everyone who can't wait to have a sea-pal present, hi: There is more to labor than this. Just because it looks idyllic doesn't mean everyone should feel compelled to purchase this experience for her/his very own. How 'bout the following decades raising/guiding the kid? What if the dolphin doesn't stick it out with you? Seriously, there's more to birth & parenting than orchestrating natural-like experiences. Just a thought.

Neat. Dolphins are awesome.
But...
Mom's wearing a wristband (like an amusement park day pass). Or maybe an employee ID? Is she a dolphin trainer at this basin so they already know her & have a relationship with her & are curious about what's up with their pal? Otherwise, I can't imagine just the cost in soooo many directions.
P.S. Having an animal is present doesn't constitute a "natural" birth. Yes, biomedicine could back off a little, but revisiting what "natural" means is a capital idea.

no the baby has something called the umbilical cord and dat is wat it breaths through lol.. and even at home deliveries r under water..
kissxbritt 2 years ago 2
judging from the tiare flower, this easily could have been done in the islands of Tahiti- the water that those dolphins tolerate is actually almost body temperature. However, I do not agree with captive dolphins unless they are being rehabilitated.

babies don't breath until they're taken out of the water. They can stay under for a few minutes actually.

Wonder if that dolphin thinks humans are just plain retarded... Here Flippy, jump through this hoop, catch this fish, and watch me drop a baby in the water now. I think Dolphins are interested in us becasue we are just so bizarre and off the wall. Dolphin thought- Why is this land creature giving birth in the water? Do we crawl up on land to have our babies? Humans dont make any sense...

ACTUALLY it is a Dolphin. And it is safer, more hygienic, and a much more peaceful transition from womb to world for the child and mother. But nice try.

i dont get it could the baby drown whiel the mom is giving birth if water i mean it wa shtere for like 7 seconds yea ?
119Predator119 2 years ago
no because the baby is still attatched to the umbilical cord
chaotichv 2 years ago
No the baby wont drown while in the water. 1. It just spent about 40 weeks in water, 7 seconds is not going to be a problem. 2. Babies "breath" through the umbilical cord not their mouths, throats, or lungs until they are exposed to air or the umbilical cord is cut.

why would the dolphin eat the baby the dolphin is suporting the mom and the dolphin looks like a caring mother :P
WheelchairWasHere 2 years ago
Ummm, dolphins are meat eaters and act very aggressively toward other mammals like seals and porpoises in their territory.
We seem to have this misguided notion that whales, orcas, and dolphins are all friendly and passive animals, but it's simply not true.
They are wild animals just like any other and don't make for good midwives.
cashcleaner 2 years ago
female dolphins are actually very maternal and when a dolphin gives birth they all come together to support the mother and protect the baby, this dolphin most likely knows she's giving birth and isn't going to hurt her. I wouldn't give birth this way, but she won't hurt the baby.
missjayden 2 years ago 4
Yes, that's true. Female DOLPHINS are very maternal. And other DOLPHINS will often support a mother and baby DOLPHIN during and after birth.
There is absolutely no reason to believe they would act the same around the mother and child of another species. In fact, time and time again, nature has shown us the exact opposite. Once again, we're talking about wild animals. Sure they look cute. Sure they are relatively intelligent. But wild animals nonetheless.
cashcleaner 2 years ago
Actually "time and time again" DOLPHINS have been present and very maternal during the birth of other mammals. And they are rarely aggressive without being provoked. If they were as aggressive as you are trying to claim, Sea World wouldn't be what is is today now would it?
