I just wanted to say what a brilliant video you have. My partner has 2 daughters both born by c-section which i believe to be caused by the doctors. I decided that when i had children i would do it all natuarally, my son had a dipping heartrate but was still born healthily without drugs, again i think this was due to me being foced onto my back which slowed labour and caused his distress, this time i am fighting for a homebirth but i have to show my partner that homebirths are safe.

Hi everyone! I'm back from a LONGGG hiatus and have been extremely busy on the parenting front! I'm a single mommy now and the 3 kiddos are def a handful!! Please would you "like" my brand new facebook page, earth mama (brown and blue pic of a preggie tum)......

THIS MOTHER IS A CRAZY-BITCH. I AM A FIFTEEN YEAR OLD GIRL WHO RECENTLY GAVE BIRTH TO A BABY AND I SCREAMED NO WHERE NEAR AS MUCH AS SHE DID. SHE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF HERSELF.
@Banana4530 I hope you're taking good care of your baby and teaching your child not to judge others as we are all different. This was my third birth in 3,5 years...it was very painful and with no meds at all. I think I did a great job, as do all my kids who watch their birth videos often. Blessings and light to you and your baby.
Cutie little baby. Like taking the biggest poop ever. And once it passes she's right pain is instantly gone. Just don't forget u have one or two gentle pushes to get the placenta out. The other pain is like the worst period cramps ever but moving around helps alot I just would walk fast back and forth and deep squat
Curious did you plan to birth your baby into the water? I was in the water for a majority of my labor and experienced no pain. Alot of Mommas in my birthing classes experience little to no pain as well. There are ways to prepare yourself for a great birth. No matter how we birth our babies we can do it. It's not horrible like we think, and we are very capable!!! Great job Momma! How did you prepare?
I haven't read through all of the comments, so I don't know if it's been asked/answered already - but what is this music? I love it!! I'm having my first HB in March (first three were w/ midwife in hospital) and trying to track down music that [might] be what I want to hear while in labor... ;-D
Thanks for anyone's help!!!
PS -- GORGEOUS birth video!!! I was nearly crying out loud at the end! Just beautiful!!!
This is so beautiful I am so filled with terror about having my first child but hopefully that won't happen until I am married and ready. So heartwarming the support and love your family has with each other really brings me a bit of joy there are still families like the one I grew up in.
What a beautiful birth! I found this because I was looking for a birth video to share with a friend on facebook who, in class, saw a childbirth video that 'scared her' and left the whole class traumatised- I wanted to show her that it doesn't HAVE to be that way. I think this is a great example! :)
So beautiful!!! That must have been the most amazing Christmas present ever. And to give birth at home and be there on Christmas Day... even better!!!!!
That brought me to tears. I cannot await the day I can have my own homebirth. Love the name too. :) Beatiful. Congrats. I can feel your families warmth just seeing the beginning of the video. Many blessings to you and your family.
Good Job Mommy!!!! He is perfect. I am 3 days overdue with baby #5 and we are having her at a birth center with no medication. All four of my other babies were born at the hospital with an epidural and I always felt like I let myself down by not going natural for my baby! I am very excited about this delivery. I will post my video as soon as she gets here. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful birth with us.
I have two children and am expecting my third in December or early January. My second was born at home and we`re looking forward to having our third one the same way if there no complications. Isn`t it sad that people are conditioned to think that the only safe to have a baby is in the hospital or that only a doctor is capable doing deliveries?
Maybe its a bit strange, but in the Netherlands still half the woman deliver at home. I delivered all three at home and I was every time very proud and happy.
I once read about a research with deer. When they were sedated with pain killers, they did not take care for the born calf any more. I think nature specifically organised it this way. Your body makes the pain killers. All it takes is concentration and relaxation to the best of you ability. I wish you the best of luck at home.
geburt ist ein natürliche angelegenheit - stimmt, meine frau wäre allerdings gestorben, wenn sie nicht im krankenhaus geboren hätte! die geburt zu hause oder im sog. geburtshaus birgt immer das risiko, dass bei komplikationen keine hilfe in erreichbarer nähe ist, was zum tod des kindes oder der mutter führt!!!!!
Das is Recht, Man musst bewust sein wenn entsheint um zu Geburt zu hause haben...in der Vergangenheit das war normal aber es ware viele Tode bei der geburt
You must be American, look at the rest of the world and tell me how dangerous it is....stats, and where the US ranks in maternal & infant mortality...Get your facts straight
Also realize near 40% of first time births, and at home, are transferred.
Also realize complications are a real threat. Increased blood pressure, cord problems, postpartum bleeding that can not be brought under control with pitocin.
There is a risk of a midwife failing to transfer.
People put way too much blind faith in "natural birth".
People have de-evolved, we're far far from perfect.
I replied to you because you called it "stupid" and you do not know enough about it to be saying that. Why are you so afraid of natural birth? There's a very strict method of accepting only low risk women for homebirth. You are wrong about 40% transfer. The US's C-section rate is out of control at 30% now, from all the "life saving" intervention done at the hospital. WHO set a goal of 7% for the whole world! I would support hosptial birth if we supported normal, natural PROCESS of birth there!
Wow! Google..pretty reliable medical research/stats!! 5% women are choosing totally elective section, most are as a result of a previous section. Your comment about home birth being "stupid" on this board is rude and insensitive to the beautiful thing this woman did!
Please get the book "Pushed" by Jennifer Block. She has by far the best stats and most thorough research on this topic I have ever seen. And, she is coming at it from a journalists point of view with no agenda. Every statistic she quotes is documented... literally a quarter of the book is her bibliography.
You're right, complications are real, and the whole purpose of a midwife is to watch for those complications so that the health of mom and baby is never compromised.
In the past many women gave birth at home, it was a nescesity rather than choice.. It is beautiful to be self dependent but often unreallistic as humans as a whole tend to rely one on other and this is called civilisation, on the other hand so called unassisted birth is a myth as there is almost always somebody to help a woman, otherwise she might be going through undefined experience (beautiful and indepenent? or terrible and extremely dangerous - it is left to the whim of fate as Im concerned
The US is ranked #26 in maternal & neonatal health outcomes...your 95% delivery rate in hospitals isn't looking so hot huh? Whatever, I don't need to prove something is safe to YOU that is going on all over the world, and EVERY industrial nation that does is has healthier babies and moms! Get some educated stats and info not some whoever posting on freakin google!
@a1mint home births arent dangerous at all if the pregnancy goes without complication. How do you think women did it for thousands of years before they were forced into the hospital setting and drugged beyond belief???
that was a beautiful birth. how long did you push? I had a home birth in May and pushed for 4 hours. My girl was stuck and stubborn, thank goodness for an amazing midwife who knew what to do. And I didn't tear.
What an amazingly powerful experience!Will you be adding to your family?You make it look so easy! Also, does the cushion you were leaning on during labour in the pool have a specific name? I found that when i was labouring in the spa pool there was nothing to lean on and i remember being slightly distracted throughout my contractions because of that. TIA :)
wow! good job i gave birth 6 months ago to my 1st child my beautiful daughter Nicole i still get all teary when i look back at the photos and remember how special that day was it was truly wonderful and watching this brought it all back again you did an amazing job congrats :)
Okay being truthful when I have kids I want a all natural birth then when I saw your wife in pain I was like O.O NVM! Now again I want it natural. I really like your video.
OK first of all congratulations for your three gorgeous children!!!
Second!!!... Love the editing and artistry of this vid... just Beautiful!!!
And third I really liked what you explain... at first I started reading and I thought you shouldn´t explain anything I mean it´s your family and you and your husband know what´s best for you.. but then I found the info really interesting and I thank you for taking the time!! Oh by the way your daughter is the most beautiful little lady I´ve ever seen
i wanna be pregnant to, by the way i tought they was gonna have a treesome before she gave birth, that video was hot man, the guy should be naked and the other woman as well. It could make more oomph in the video.
OMG grahamg353 and tryforfunt509 have some respect. If your going to post comments like that then do it some where else. This is a special and precious moment in another persons life and they wish to share that with the world. Not so you have some where to post your slutty antics. You should be ashamed.
This is my favourite video on youtube. I have seen it so many times and I still get tears in my eyes. Little Sage's birth was awesome, and your family is beautiful :) I have to ask, what is the music playing in the background? I really like it!
im due to have my 3rd baby in 6 weeks time another little boy cant wait but no matter how many times u hav given birth u still cant prepare ureself for labour!!! wish me luck!!
Thankyou so much, my second child is due in November and i plan to have a homebirth. Watching your homebirth was very comforting and inspirational. hope you are all well. Sage is a gorgous child!
thank you for posting this. i used to think natural birth was crazy. the most painful thing i could imagine. and i used to say i'm gonna want a double epidural. but now that i plan to start a family in the next couple of years i've started to learn about planned home births. the more i learn about it the more i feel like this is the right thing for me. i'm still scared of the pain and everyone says i'm not strong enough to take it. but they haven't changed my mind. i feel like i can do it.
you can do it! I had a hospital birth with medication and all of that intervention and it was horribly violating and tramatic for both myself and my first child. My second birth was in the water at a birthcenter. It was the most beautiful expierance. I had no medications or interventions of any kind. I wasn't straped to anything or yelled at during labor. I felt pleasure, like a goddess, ifeltlife surging through me! My baby was born into my hands and I'm a stronger woman for trusting birth.
How lovely to see it all in it's natural state, how we're supposed to have babies. I had to have c sections with my 2 and wanted nothing more than home births or at least natural births with no drigs. Have just been sterlised and wish I'd at least had the chance. Only ever wanted 2 so am happy but watching this makes me wish it could have happened. Well done, wish more were like that.
PLEASE DONT READ THIS. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DONT POST THIS COMMENT TO AT LEAST 3 VIDEOS YOU WILL DIE WITHIN 2 DAYS. NOW UV STARTED READIN DIS DUNT STOP THIS IS SO SCARY. SEND THIS OVER TO 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR CRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARY BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKs
What a beautiful child you have!Congratulations!I wish the best of luck and health for you to raise him,and for himself as well!I have 2 kids myself,and watching this made me cry!By the way,i love the background Gregorian Chants!it sounded chinese.What`s the name of the song,and where can i get it,please?
Thank you very much,and once again,congratulations!Realy well-done!
This made me cry. It's been 11 years since my daughter arrived. 14 years since my son arrived. I watched this out of interest and to hope to recapture those immense feelings of delivering a perfect humen being. Well done to you both. It brought it all back to me. How lucky we are!
Thank you for sharing this.. amazing, I am yet to have my first, but after watching this beautiful video all my fears about childbirth seem so silly... no hospital for me :D
i think thats what causes most of the fear and trauma for the child..
thank you. I am a training midwife and have been feeling lately that my vision of birth was a romantic notion i might lose as i am working in a large training hospital in Australia. I felt this is the kind of home birth i would like for myself and the women i look after. I cried watching this and it is a reminder to keep the faith. Birth is beautiful and you guys really have a lovely, down to earth energy throughout this clip. i really appreciate seeing this today! thanks again
woooow wonderfull!!!! it is sooo true how when the baby is out that same minute you dont feal pain you have an urge to just hold him and never let him go. you did a wonderfull job!!
This is a beautiful video ! I gave birth to twins in a hammock in my back yard all naturally and unissted. People thought I was crazy but I really thought it was nice. My husband was in Iraq so It was just me and really natural births are the way to go I think.
the baby WILL NOT drown - the baby is in fluid for 9 months in the womb, a few seconds in a warm tub is not much difference. From people that I've known to experience a water-birth, they've said that the baby is much calmer after the birth than a "normal" hospital birth. My pregnancies were too risky for homebirth or water birth :(
Oh oh..... thank you so much. Watching positive experiences like this strengthens my convictions to birth at home as much as possible. Thank you, for sharing.
Thankyou so much, that was beautiful. To see you do this at home makes me feel so much more comfortable with the idea of home birth. Congratulations and good luck!
Great video, congrats and thanks. We had an amazing home birt too, and this mum is right; the birth moment is such a rush and makes the pain well worth it.! Wound't have done it any other way!
Would you be able to let me know the name of the soundtrack you are playing in the background? I used to have this CD and loaned it to someone and never got it back :( It is just the perfect piece of music! Congrats on the birth :)
Thanks for posting that. Words can't describe how I feel seeing a woman give birth but it always makes me cry. I am 27 weeks pregnant with my 1st child, planning a home birth, and I hope I am as brave and fortunate as you.
I'm 37 weeks and so scared even though I've given birth naturally before! Thankyou for showing me how beautiful childbirth is and how once the baby's born you just forget everything you've been though!!

Googling for:

leads to lots of articles which you might find shocking.
Here's one: tinyurl (dot) com (slash) 48vegn
Women who opt for a home birth are more likely to lose their baby than those who have them in a hospital.
Also, more people are purposely choosing c sections, because birth is hell for so many.
ps. Looks like transfer rates are more like 1 in 7 people, not 40%. Still high.

Do expect some resistance when you try to lure people with your distorted selective views though.

@a1mint home births arent dangerous at all if the pregnancy goes without complication. How do you think women did it for thousands of years before they were forced into the hospital setting and drugged beyond belief???
jenn882009 1 year ago
@jenn882009 Problem is that complications are a real actual risk. It's like gambling.

that was a beautiful birth. how long did you push? I had a home birth in May and pushed for 4 hours. My girl was stuck and stubborn, thank goodness for an amazing midwife who knew what to do. And I didn't tear.

What an amazingly powerful experience!Will you be adding to your family?You make it look so easy! Also, does the cushion you were leaning on during labour in the pool have a specific name? I found that when i was labouring in the spa pool there was nothing to lean on and i remember being slightly distracted throughout my contractions because of that. TIA :)

Hi Sinduwe, when you scream around 6:35 is that due to pain or the effort of pushing the baby out? Had you any pain meds? Thanks.

Okay being truthful when I have kids I want a all natural birth then when I saw your wife in pain I was like O.O NVM! Now again I want it natural. I really like your video.

thank you for posting this. i used to think natural birth was crazy. the most painful thing i could imagine. and i used to say i'm gonna want a double epidural. but now that i plan to start a family in the next couple of years i've started to learn about planned home births. the more i learn about it the more i feel like this is the right thing for me. i'm still scared of the pain and everyone says i'm not strong enough to take it. but they haven't changed my mind. i feel like i can do it.
Roodboinboston 3 years ago 2
you can do it! I had a hospital birth with medication and all of that intervention and it was horribly violating and tramatic for both myself and my first child. My second birth was in the water at a birthcenter. It was the most beautiful expierance. I had no medications or interventions of any kind. I wasn't straped to anything or yelled at during labor. I felt pleasure, like a goddess, ifeltlife surging through me! My baby was born into my hands and I'm a stronger woman for trusting birth.

How lovely to see it all in it's natural state, how we're supposed to have babies. I had to have c sections with my 2 and wanted nothing more than home births or at least natural births with no drigs. Have just been sterlised and wish I'd at least had the chance. Only ever wanted 2 so am happy but watching this makes me wish it could have happened. Well done, wish more were like that.

I felt this is the kind of home birth i would like for myself and the women i look after. I cried watching this and it is a reminder to keep the faith. Birth is beautiful and you guys really have a lovely, down to earth energy throughout this clip. i really appreciate seeing this today! thanks again

josephjohn1111 3 years ago
No the baby won't drown. The baby's umbilical cord is still attached and the baby is getting oxygen from that.
HicklePeanut 3 years ago 3
the baby WILL NOT drown - the baby is in fluid for 9 months in the womb, a few seconds in a warm tub is not much difference. From people that I've known to experience a water-birth, they've said that the baby is much calmer after the birth than a "normal" hospital birth. My pregnancies were too risky for homebirth or water birth :(
