nice beautiful birth, except for the German, police midwife woman telling you, "Push long and hard!" :S but once again, it was a nice, beautiful birth!
@supersurro that really is what counts. People always have their own opinions but you're thoughts and feelings are the only thing that matter. I think you did amazing and are an encouragement to women everywhere. I once got told off by a midwife for shouting out.. she said childbirth is not that bad and shouldn't require noise! Haha... we're all different and experience pain in a different way so I just ignored her and shouted again.
The midwife looked like she was standing over you, with you in the most vulnerable position, flat on your back - very intimidating. Her body language was saying "I AM IN CHARGE", which is not the way it should be - the birthing mother should be in charge! The midwife - and everyone at the birth - should be there to SERVE and HELP the birthing mother - taking direction from her, helping her by listening to what she needs. It sometimes looked like the midwife was torturing you.
Supersurro, you did an awesome job, considering you had such a lame midwife, not helping you much, from what I could see. And I commend any woman who has a natural, home birth - I only wish more women did this, and took back their power - when you go into a hospital, nice as some of the personnel are, they do take over and turn it into a medical emergency. Most births are not an "emergency", but a natural occurence.
I think it's great that you want to be at home with family and friends and have a home birth it makes it all the more intimate and special, i just think you need a different midwife next time for your sake ;) oh and the babies
why people ahve to have home bitrhs just so al there family can be there i will never know think its sad really people think we live in the old ages and we need to birth at home .?? i cant wait to get to hospital and get on the gas and air bcos if anyhting happens to u or the baby then u are allready at the hospital ? people who birth at home put there selfs and babys at risk .................stupid
@JANELISA25 You are obviously very ignorant because stats show home birth for low risk women is safer and the infant mortality rate is much lower. Not only that, midwives are especially trained, whereas doctors have no special training. Hospitals do too many interferences and drugs are dangerous. Not only that, there are germs in hospitals because it's a public place, and you and your baby can become very sick there. Do your homewlrk.
it is nice to see she is giving bith naturally but why is the girl there she doesn't deserve to see this. Good on you for doing it natually but don't think I could ever do that how ever much I hate hospitals
well i cant have babies myself. and i watch videos of giving birth as it puts me off wanting them.. and so helps me.. becuse now i know 1: i dont have to go through that pain.... 2: i dont have a maggot leaching off me financialy and emotionaly for the rest of my life... ahh the joys of no-restraint
to supersurro, first of all mami, you shouldn't have to explain shit to anyone how you delivered your baby was right for you and your baby so fuck the rest of them...you did a good job and congrats
The man is crying!!! He wants to hold it, but he cant!!! This is so emotional!! I started crying :$ and I have never give birth, but this is just so beautyful!
I was induced wiht my first so I had an epidural becaues the pain on a scale of 1-10 was 100!! For my second I went into labour naturally and found it a breeze...no drugs whatsoever!! Pain was minimal - only pushed for 15 minutes...so I guess what I am trying to say is it depends on how high your tolerance to pain is and the situation!! Good luck
@pamstar73 Thank you for that. I am so scared plus im going to be a single mom so im on my own with the whole birth im so scared. I just hope my baby is ok. =]
It's natural to be scared. It does hurt - I had bad labour for both however I found the second to be tolerable. Don't you have a friend who can be with you? There's a constant stream of ppl that come in and out during your labour anyway. I gave consent to a student midwife to be in the delivery and she sat with me for about 3 hours.
My husband was there and was great however he was really nervous the poor thing LOL. The staff at hopsitals are very helpful. You will be fine. Your baby will be perfect
It really depends, If you have a smooth delivery than it's probably not as bad as what people tell you, if you have back labour it's really painful, if you hemmerage or tear it's painful. It also depends on your pain tollerance. It is true though, no matter how much it hurts, as soon as you see that baby you forget all about what you just went through.
honestly and truly, my mum says childbirth is not as bad as they show on tv shows. Those of you who had kids, is childbirth as painful as they show on tv shows? i know its painful but how much does it really hurt?
its not too bad at all! i had a all natural delivey and labour ont he 21st October to be gorgeous baby girl, if you stay calm and dnt scream ect you get thru it alot easir, all you haveto do is breathe thru the contractions xx
If it was a tight squeeze a different position would have been logical. Pushing flat on your back is pushing uphill. The beauty of giving birth at home is the choice of mobility, and pushing in upright positions!
i pushed in that position at the hospital no drugs and it only took me 20 mins tbh it depends on how that woman wants to deliver her child it dosnt matter if shes at home or not x
the lady rocking back in forth in the way is annoying. she moved but then she kept getting back in the way. that guy looks like he's annoyed by all the people too. maybe he was just tired and a little nervous. congrats on the baby! the lady pulling the baby out seemed kind of mean. she could've had a better attitude.
i would only wawnt my mun and husband in the room mabey a friend or counsin for other births than my first no more than 3 though you have all ready got doctores looking at your croch
r u a woman? u don't understand the meaning of being at home, in ur own environment! Birth is not to be treated as a disease when u need to go to a special isolated and sterile room! Giving birth is something natural n if the woman has no health problems it's ok to have the baby at home. I never heard of a woman saying "I ENJOIED my birth at hospital" but os many comment what a magical moment is a natural birth with a midwife...
For everyone that is saying that birth is "traumatizing", you obviously have never seen a birth up close. It is the most beautiful and natural thing in the entire world, and anyone that has the chance to experience a birth up close like this is very blessed.
no matter how beautiful it is, some things are just not for children to see. it doesnt mean it a bad thing, it just isnt ok for a child to stand 2 feet away from a womans vagina when a baby is coming out in the middle of the living room. its crazy
yea but thinking about it, she looks old enough, she understandfs how babies are born so y not watch, its not as if she is staring down there she isn standing by her side, im 14 now and im going to the hospital when my mum is having her baby, i dnt see what the big deal is.
Its natural why hide and shame the mother???! That young girl will probablly have her own children - women are not born knowing what to do! We learn from other women or our Doctors...
I am a parent of TWO children, well educated and I STILL believe this is over the top. And I did learn from my Mother/Grandmothers and Aunts but I sure didn't watch a birth from a foot away
If its not right for you family ~ Then thats fine. But I dont understand how people can shame this family and how they choose to birth.
As you can see, This lady manages to have quite a nice natural birth ~ Surley the idea of birth to a child is has been distorted by the woman going to hospital, Wouldnt the idea cause concern in their minds that the woman needs to go somewhere that people usually go when bad things happen?
people don't respect other people's choices n still believe that is safer having a baby at the hospital when the statistics show that births at home not only are as safe but also quicker, less painful and more empowering for women.
True that it is innappropriate for some people, but I'm 7.5 months pregnant and it's very reassuring to see that it isn't as bad as tv shows make it out to be.
I'd imagine you may not have really realised how many people were around you huh you'd be more concerned about the safe arrival of your baby........... But I have to ask why so many people especially children this could traumatise them for life.........
Home birth are ideal if the birth and post partum are good. Do not knock medical intervention though. They do know what they are doing. I fainted after my second child and needed a drip. I squatted for both my births which certainly speeded them up, came out within 1 hour of arriving at hospital.
wow i actually cried amazing how proud u can be of someone you dont no and even though this had already happened i was willing her on as if i was there ayin go on push u can do it you done so well sweetie
I would be scared to death to deliver at home... If anything goes wrong, or could be improved by modern medicine, I'd rather be within seconds of that opportunity than too far away...
I personally wouldn't mind having a home birth for several reasons. I want my child born in a stable environment, and I'd personally want to preserve the intimacy that came with creating a child in the first place.
It is not ignorant for a home birth to occur. What is ignorant is how much we seem to rely so much more on medical interference instead of our bodies which were designed for procreation in the first place.
I hope you are a man...anyways, that's how they did it in the olden days, before hospitals were in existence and before this country became more sanitary.
I'd seriously advise you to look up the birth statistics in the U.S.
It's shocking. For a well developed country such as ours, can you explain why hospital births now carry a relatively high infancy mortality rate?
Looks like a hospital birth at home. The midwife should not be the centre, the woman should. The MW is way too busy with everything, wonder what she is doing with her gloves the whole time. If I birth at home, I don't want to be delivered like that but I want to birth myself, choosing my own position, pushing when my body tells me to etc.. The MW is really doing a lot and almost everything is unnecessary. Yes, she is very professional. In a traditional hospital way.
A note to viewers: that is too much coaching for a home birth and especially for a woman that has given birth before. Proper home birth midwifes give the power back to the woman and let her lead her own birth. Coached pushing is absolutely not necessary.
I think the whole positioning on the back was a poor choice for the midwife, but it was obvious that the mom was wasting breath by screaming (as I would!!) so she was encouraging her to keep with it and focus on pushing. And yes, they do toss the baby on your belly at the hospital, its very common. There were a LOT of people in that room, the midwife was distracted by chatter. But mom did great, dont want to take away from that, especially without meds. Kudos to you!!!!
Wow that midwife was mean, even in the previous vedeos she kept pulling at her! Then she says "Help me out here!" Who says that when a mother is in labour, let the mother go at her own speed...Plus giving birth is harder on your back
The mid wife did just right. She did NOT toss the baby onto her, lol. Usually even in hospital births the docs like to give the baby to the mama asap, the contact is vital immediately. I think the mid-wife was very professional. Awesome video, the mom did amazing!
wow sooooo many ppl in there....and did the midwife not encourage you to get u and squat wouldve been much quicker for you hun...well done though youre amazing...peace xxx
american birth techniques are awful that women could birth that women more effectively and quicker if that midwife would allow her to do it the way she feels naturally right, people are holding her legs up as if she is incapable of birthing that baby without everyones help. Furthermore "help me" what the f**k? Love, i think she is doing the work not you
pointless home birth you should of just gone to hospital if you were happy to be controlled like that, beautiful baby mind.
She was talking to the assistant midwife, she needed to be told to hush because the mother was concentrating well with the one midwife coaching. The second midwife might have broken her concentration.
women before have always given birth this way, Surrounden by people in their homes so this is nice to see. And I must say...my admiration to the midwife´s job too!
There are so many people there but its ok if u feel ok.For my five baby,the maximum people in the room range from only one to two.Congrats to you.You made it.
I think that it is nice for her to share this video with us I mean people don't normally want to share these things with people and I mean it must have been so hard seing as she was so tired!!!
I hope when I give birth when I am older it will be a nice healthy birth and it won't hurt too much
Well i dont know how old you are my dear. But you sure got the main important thing about this whole process...The good health and sanity of the action of giving birth. Just want to remind you that one MAJOR thing is to make sure to do this with someone who cares about YOU. But im sure you already know that. I hope you have as many babies as you want with a special person.
These people need to stop criticizing and nitpicking. Opinions on how YOU think she should have done it are irrelevant. Just be grateful and honored that she would share this special moment with us all.
If that was me giving birth at home i wouldnt have all them people round me i couldnt do it with them all watching me . I would just do it with my husband / bf
You can have that - it's nothing to do with legality - it's called unassisted freebirth/pure-birth. Google it, check it out, it's really inspirational. Orgasmic birth can happen too, embrace it, it's what you make it.
If you're in Australia, there's a site for it, something like purebirthaustralia.
if your having a homebirth why would you lay in the most doctor friendly position that makes it harder for the baby to come out? Squating or on all fours would have worked better.
I am not understanding the lithotomy position? And I hear that the cord was tight but did it have to be cut on the perinium? If not, what was this medwife freaking out about? If you had tight shoulders why not put mom on hands and knees? I am just feeling like this a homebirth with hospital birth twists. Is there actually an IV on the wall? Did mom have GBS or as she in labor for several hours? so many interventions...I'm glad you are happy with your birth experience... not my cup of tea I guess
Why are you laying flat on your back was that your choice? I ask because I am planning a home birth and all I read is how you should not lay on your back... Thoughts, or suggestions are appreciated! You are amazing I can only hope I do nearly as well!
That midwife did a wonderful job...our bodies though amazing are not perfect; mama needed direction & help through birthing a big baby boy! Still completely normal & as natural as can be. Great job!
Its sad you are so closed minded! My children wanted to be in the room when their brother was born. I wanted all my family present. Family is very important to me!
For those of you criticizing the midwife it appears in the end there some a decrease in the heart rate making it important to get the baby out quickly. This is why she was bossy. Also, after the head was out the baby must have had a tight nuchal cord from what she said and problems getting the shoulders out. THe midwife did great. And she was saying 'come on baby' because the baby wasnt breathing and needed O2. Probably due to the nuchal cord. Great job mom in staying calm.
does she think she's an OB/GYN? Why isn't she letting you do what your body tells you to? Telling you when and how to push is just not right for a homebirth. *sigh*
This midwife is horrible and has turned what could have been a beautiful relaxing home birth into something like a science experiment. But congratulations to you on your beautiful baby.
If that way my midwife, I'd have killed her whilst. Her habit of repeating everything at leats four times drove me insane and also the fact that she got rather bossy at one stage. Still, well done and congratulations. (:
During the best part of this video...Where "Baby" was coming out. the lady in the white shirt was standing in the way of the camera so there was no light to see what was going on. It kinda made me man, since I was so into this video and followed every one of the videos while she was in labor. Thanks for sharing the video and your family experience, altho the best part is not see-able.. Cute baby!!! Thanks for sharing!!! Good luck..
did she tell one of your siblings to be quiet thats ashame she needs to let things flow correctly. also you should have the right to push when you wan to, not when she says the head is here or the head is going back. thats your birth right!!!
to those of you who think it is bad for kids to see this. im sure the kid could've left at any time. they aren't making him be ther, or forcing him to be in the room
Amen! I wanted to give the kid in the red shirt a shove, and also the chick in the white shirt was in the way big-time. The mother and baby are the stars in the video - move your asses! Otherwise, great video!
I just wish I would have felt I had more controll over my own birth. No, I didnt not have her for any of my other birth, but when I became pregnant with my 1st surrogate pregnancy, she passed me off onto a regular doctor because she didnt want to "deal" with it.
I can really see why you didn't like her. If a woman wants pillows give her pillows! She also talked too much. I love the way she acts like shes doing all the work and you are just helping her out a bit.
other than that did you have a good home birth experience? i also had a home birth where i birthed on my back but it was the most comfortable for me and it is how i wanted to be positioned. if you have any more i hope you find the midwife that clicks with you. good job
beautiful! Love homebirths...there is nothing traumatizing in the slightest about this birth!

Sorry if my last statement sounded harsh....
PoeticSoul0811 2 years ago 3
wow, that's a bit ignorant don't you think?
I hope you are a man...anyways, that's how they did it in the olden days, before hospitals were in existence and before this country became more sanitary.
I'd seriously advise you to look up the birth statistics in the U.S.
It's shocking. For a well developed country such as ours, can you explain why hospital births now carry a relatively high infancy mortality rate?

Good God, what is the point of delivering at home if you are just going to lie on your back? Ouch.

What position should she be in? Sitting or standing?

Yes, that would be a good idea. Lying on your back works against gravity...

TheWigglebum 2 years ago 8
Looks like a hospital birth at home. The midwife should not be the centre, the woman should. The MW is way too busy with everything, wonder what she is doing with her gloves the whole time. If I birth at home, I don't want to be delivered like that but I want to birth myself, choosing my own position, pushing when my body tells me to etc.. The MW is really doing a lot and almost everything is unnecessary. Yes, she is very professional. In a traditional hospital way.

definca 2 years ago 5
Congratulations!
A note to viewers: that is too much coaching for a home birth and especially for a woman that has given birth before. Proper home birth midwifes give the power back to the woman and let her lead her own birth. Coached pushing is absolutely not necessary.

joculee 2 years ago 4
I think the whole positioning on the back was a poor choice for the midwife, but it was obvious that the mom was wasting breath by screaming (as I would!!) so she was encouraging her to keep with it and focus on pushing. And yes, they do toss the baby on your belly at the hospital, its very common. There were a LOT of people in that room, the midwife was distracted by chatter. But mom did great, dont want to take away from that, especially without meds. Kudos to you!!!!

american birth techniques are awful that women could birth that women more effectively and quicker if that midwife would allow her to do it the way she feels naturally right, people are holding her legs up as if she is incapable of birthing that baby without everyones help. Furthermore "help me" what the f**k? Love, i think she is doing the work not you
pointless home birth you should of just gone to hospital if you were happy to be controlled like that, beautiful baby mind.

She was talking to the assistant midwife, she needed to be told to hush because the mother was concentrating well with the one midwife coaching. The second midwife might have broken her concentration.

Well i dont know how old you are my dear. But you sure got the main important thing about this whole process...The good health and sanity of the action of giving birth. Just want to remind you that one MAJOR thing is to make sure to do this with someone who cares about YOU. But im sure you already know that. I hope you have as many babies as you want with a special person.
God bless.

You can have that - it's nothing to do with legality - it's called unassisted freebirth/pure-birth. Google it, check it out, it's really inspirational. Orgasmic birth can happen too, embrace it, it's what you make it.
If you're in Australia, there's a site for it, something like purebirthaustralia.

alioops93 2 years ago 3
I am not understanding the lithotomy position? And I hear that the cord was tight but did it have to be cut on the perinium? If not, what was this medwife freaking out about? If you had tight shoulders why not put mom on hands and knees? I am just feeling like this a homebirth with hospital birth twists. Is there actually an IV on the wall? Did mom have GBS or as she in labor for several hours? so many interventions...I'm glad you are happy with your birth experience... not my cup of tea I guess

For those of you criticizing the midwife it appears in the end there some a decrease in the heart rate making it important to get the baby out quickly. This is why she was bossy. Also, after the head was out the baby must have had a tight nuchal cord from what she said and problems getting the shoulders out. THe midwife did great. And she was saying 'come on baby' because the baby wasnt breathing and needed O2. Probably due to the nuchal cord. Great job mom in staying calm.

Thanks for sharing the video and your family experience, altho the best part is not see-able.. Cute baby!!! Thanks for sharing!!! Good luck..

That midwife is horrible.
If I had just had a baby and my midwife was saying, "come on baby, come on baby" I would be sooo freaked out and think there was something wrong.
She kind of just chucks the baby onto the mothers stomach and just poke it in the eye when puting the hat on.. its ok.
This wasnt a very good home birth at all.
But congrats to the mummy for a healthy baby.
P.S. How many pairs of gloves did she go through?? i counted 5....

I can really see why you didn't like her. If a woman wants pillows give her pillows! She also talked too much. I love the way she acts like shes doing all the work and you are just helping her out a bit.
