As part of my personal passion to help normalize birth, I have decided to post birth videos on a monthly basis. These videos are a testament to the strength of all women & the beauty of God's divine creation.
To be warned, some of these videos will undoubtedly be somewhat graphic... I mean it's the birth of a baby for gosh sakes! If you're offended by blood, nudity, vaginal birth, or anything of the like, I wouldn't recommend watching.
Feel free to leave comments or ask questions, but please be respectful of birthing women everywhere (especially the one's depicted in the videos!).

One of the things I love most about this birth is that a few things happen immediately after the birth of the baby that people always question in regards to home birth. Granted, this birth is not at home, but it shows the many variations of normal in regards to birth. It is not a cookie cutter experience & all babies react differently when being born.
I'm specifically talking about the fact that the cord is wrapped loosely around the baby's neck. In this case the cord was long enough that it didn't seem to impact the descent of the baby & the mama was still able to bring the baby onto her chest. You do hear the urgency in the midwife's voice when she realizes this, but she takes care of it efficiently & without stressing the mom out.
You'll notice that the baby takes a little longer to transition. This is common in a water birth. But again, the midwives handle it gently, with care, with efficiency, & without creating an emergency out of something that is quite normal.
This is such a beautiful birth!! ENJOY!
