This graphic birth video freaked me out....

[June2012]

wow... can't imagine myself to give birth sometime this week/next week/week after...

must prepare myself mentally

 

[Sherileigh]

Even though I've done this before... Yuck! Lol.

 

[babyhopes2010]

[vintage67]

Did they sell tickets? How many freaking people were there anyway?

Your telling me! After watching that I really feel like I might change my mind Jesus im sure im not able to do that......

Haha oh well bit to late in the day to back out!

my last birth was an unassisted.
thanks for sharing x

 

[ainsleyx2006]

oh think i have decided i'd rather keep baby in after watching that..amazing and wonderful to watch but don'y like the thought of going through that in a few weeks!! im due 3rd of october! just couple days between us

I know which is why I was looking into birth videos as it is approaching very fast and im not feeling very prepared lol...

Its scary that we're now full term and baby could make an appearance any day now :s

Good luck xx

I definetly don't feel prepared this time round.only today my friend asked what would happen with LO if I went through night and you know its something that didnt even cross my mind..oooops. Think when you are preg you just think the ends never going to come then bang its here before we know it! Thanks same to you,gotan extra scan tomorrow to make sure baby not breech so fingers crossed it all goes well and I dont need to go down the section route

ive now given birth twice and i still cant watch labour videos!
it looks far worse then it actualy is, so i really wouldnt worry too much

 

[hellywelly]

I loved this video - it has given me confidence - as I want to give birth on all fours - thank you xxxx

 

[Kitten_x]

ahh! agreed, the freeze-frame is a tad intimidating i might give it a watch with the OH later and then ask him if he wants to be down the business end during the main event

 

[shelleney]

Oh dear
Can I keep this baby in forever....? Pretty please?

 

[Blah11]

women are amazing

I dont remember having that much trouble with amelies body though. Her head took probably 25 minutes, her body slipped out really easy with the next contraction. Her baby looked really big!

 

[nickyXjayno]

I feel so unmotherish saying this but that was so gross!
I want a natural birth but good god is my oh staying at my head and not going down there!
There's something so raw and animalistic about it that just would make me feel really vulnerable/self concious.

 

[vintage67]

The exhibitionist nature of this video bothered me. The amount of people in the room seemed ridiculous and the constant one position angle was rather reminiscent of badly filmed pornography.

It seemed like they were having a kegger instead of a baby. Maybe it's just my mood today.

This isn't an attack on home/natural birth; just the nature of this particular video.

 

[HeeBeeGeeBee]

Eh...how many people and how many cameras??? That would be a bit public for me - I think I would be telling everyone to shut up and go away...and for gawd sake turn down the lights!!! But I'm probably overestimating how concious of my surroundings I'll be...

I have to confess I had to skip through some of it, I'm just not 100% there yet. I can't believe I'm going to do that...eek! Overall though it looked like a really nice and natural labour and my... what a big baby!!!

That's a great video! My friend had 9 adults 2 kids and 2 dogs at her unassisted birth and it was filmed the same way. She was investigated as it's not legal here but as none of us assisted her and she delivered herself and it was all on film she was let off with it...her mw who attended after the birth said that although she shouldn't have done it, it would be a great learning vid for women to see how natural childbirth can be! I was so greatful that she asked me to be there as she knew I was planning kids in the next few yrs and being at her birth gave me the confidence to have a natural HB with my first!

 

[Blah11]

the mother prob wanted it filmed What sthe prob? Shes obviously happy with it or she wouldnt have put it on youtube.

Amelie watched it with me lol, she said 'oh a little bit of weewee too'

 

[sarahjane10]

this is realy scary

 

[alette]

oh, i sat and watched this before.
it is a lovely video and very natural but i just thought the whole time, just push and get it out, i know when i had my babies as soon as they crown and mw says i can push i did. no way did i want baby half in half out for that long

That's exactly what I was thinking! Most definitely not having an at home birth! (there better not be a snow storm!)

 

[Dalila]

omg. i thought the baby was pulled once the head came or something
