Done for our nursing class (professional growth) when we had to do an article critique. We got a little creative. 16 hard hours of creative. We cut down the coffee break scene so it's youtube-timed, and less boring.

  • Mickie - yes, you're right, there is the possibility that natural childbirth won't have a negative effect on a woman's pelvic floor muscles. Due to the time constraints we weren't able to present all views on the topic, but there are cases of both damaged and normal pelvic floor muscles, all due to childbirth. It depends on the woman's body, the methods, and a number of other things.

  • YOU GUYS ARE SOO AWESOME!!!! AWESOME JOB!

  • omg you guys put this on Youtube! Haha!

    I remember seeing this in class.. Ace!

  • I think that this information is misleading, natural childbirth (with out drugs or directed pushing like was shown in that video) has been shown to not have a negitive affect on pelvic floor muscles

  • this is too funny, and informative. I give you an A+
