The Birth of Luke

The Birth of Luke is a time lapse of the birthing process at Sacred Hart Medical Center in Eugene, Oregon. Feel free to compare the experience with our second child who was born at the Midwife Birthing Center one block away. See, "The Birth of Anna Mae". Although for some reason it has been labeled as adult content. However there are no graphic images or content.

I worked on Mom Baby at Sacred Heart so your video caught my attention. I probably even took care of you guys when you were recovering.

I've had all 3 of my children, but still would have preferred the birthing center. My OB didn't deliver there. Being a mother, I could feel everything your wife was going through during that video. Way to go!!

Good editing too. How long in real time was it from checking in to the birth?

hi great vids of luke and anna mae how old r they now??

[Bureyeanne]

They are doing well. Anna Mae is talking in 1,2 or 3 word sentences. Luke is either talking or he is asleep.

i kinda see the difference.. its probably easier to understand the difference if i could spot some sort of intervention (other than the drip) i appreciate that youve shared this.

Lol I love the reason your partner gives at the end: "So that when you get angry at your mum...." Priceless. Congratulations! :)

hello! I loved this time lapse. And I am really really hoping that you have the other video you refer to for the birth of Anna Mae... I am not finding it posted. I am part of a group trying to open a hospital owned birthing center and I can imagine the contrast between the two videos... I am sure it speaks volumes about the difference in atmospheres and would love to see it to be able to share with those that are not familiar with a birthing center birth...

My thoughts exactly.

By the way congratulations Bureyeanne.

It's funny she wanted to have both in the midwife center. Yet we just didn't have enough info at the time. You can see with the Birth of Luke at least a half dozen people coming in and going without even saying hi. So to answer the question my wife preferred the midwife center by far. That being said there are less people and less luxuries. The flip side is privacy, and personal attention. I suppose it depends on one's needs.

So which method did you and your wife like better? I cant decide between a hospital birth and a midwife center birth...

Then why did you watch it?
