The Natural Childbirth VideoModern Technology Brings Our History AliveA natural childbirth video offers a fascinating insight into how women have given birth for millennia. Only in the past century or so has there been so much clinical intervention in what is essentially a completely natural process.
Yet those of us who have given birth can testify that the human body is remarkable in the way it prepares itself for childbirth, and in the way it recovers afterwards. As soon as they hold their new baby in their arms, the vast majority of mothers forget very rapidly how extreme their birthing experience was. Recovery is assisted dramatically by holding and feeding your baby and the great advantage of not having had drugs for pain relief is that you and your baby are both alert and able to begin the bonding process right away. Below is a video of the birth of Sarah Valente's baby. It can also be accessed from her blog site.
There are many reasons to go for natural childbirth ...but it needs to be a carefully made and well-informed decision. Watching a video of a woman giving birth can help you decide whether it's for you. More videos are available on A Childbirth, which is a very well balanced and helpful site. Good luck with whatever decision you make...we wish you a happy childbirth and a healthy, gorgeous baby!
