Natural Childbirth Video FootageA 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.Before viewing the following videos it is a good idea to be prepared, psychologically, for what you're about to see. For the vast majority of women, childbirth is not painless and you may find some videos depicting women screaming their way through the final stages of labour. 
Yet... those of us who have given birth can testify that a woman's body is remarkable in the way it prepares itself for childbirth, in the way that you have the resilience to cope with the birthing process and in the way it recovers afterwards. As soon as we hold our new baby in our arms, the vast majority of mothers forget very rapidly any negatives of their birthing experience. 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.Look at the expression on the face of this mom as she holds her newborn baby and you will be reassured that natural childbirth can be a very positive and amazing experience.
Below is another wonderful video...this time a water birth in a hospital, a long labor but no medication and a very happy outcome: so inspiring...
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, and if you'd like lots more information, try GivingBirthNaturally.com. 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!
