Woman sings in labor while rocking on birth ball. At the time she was about 8cm dilated and about 28 hours into labor. At around 34 hours, she had a healthy baby girl by un-medicated VBAC. I was honored to attend this birth as her doula.

  • She looks like a pro! I love how relaxed she is, and how hands on he seems. I pray my VBAC will be as successful!

  • I do too...surround yourself with supportive people, ask your doctor questions and you should be fine!

  • this is beautiful. I can't think of any song I know all the way through other than Johnny cash's Pain.. lol ..

    question: what exactly is the husband doing when she goes into contractions? I see they push the hips but what are they doing pushing them outwards, inwards, just pushing? idk I'm 23 weeks pregnant and a little scared at the last minute I wont go through the natural birth plan i made for myself and my baby.

  • He is pushing her hips together in something called a "hip squeeze." In labor, as the baby passes through, the hips separate a little bit, by giving counter-pressure on the hips, it helps with the intensity of the contraction. It's probably the #1 technique I use.

  • No screaming, moaning or groaning. That's the type of birth I want something that's easy to listen to. No bitching or being a psycho lady in labor.

  • Not only is she amazing! She has an amazing voice!!

  • Every time I watch one of these videos, the woman is a good singer...this makes me wanna have a baby, but no time soon. Lol.

  • My friend almost died and almost lost her baby during home birth. The baby had to wear tubes for over 1 year after she was born. It was a horrible experience...

  • He looks so embarrassed

  • what a great hubby

  • wow love it

    

  • She's great, but I'm a bit confused. I thought the whole point of doing this was to avoid the hospital and all the germs and contamination in hospitals. Is there a reason she had to be in a hospital setting?

  • pretty voice =)

  • why doesn't thi have like 100,000,000 VIEWS!!!!

  • May I ask if this young couple was a Mormon or a Quaker Couple????? She really is relaxed I wish my birth were that great

  • This is inspiring!!!!!!!!! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
