A Birth Video Collection
I've selected each short birth video specifically to show you natural births.
I wanted clips that showed the hard work of birth, but also the joy.
I feel like these, courtesy of Youtube.com and the families that shared them there, will give you an intimate pictures of the miracle that childbirth is.
Enjoy!
Dylan Michael
This first birth video is a slide show of pictures. You get to clearly see a growing "baby belly" (as well as a belly cast!) before it moves into the labor pictures. The pictures are clear and candid.
Emma Gabrielle Bailey
This photo series is so lovely. This birth is a VBAC and a waterbirth. You get to share in the whole family's joy because the three older children are there to watch their baby sister be born! Beautiful shots of Emma alert after birth.
Jenna Nichele's Birth Video
Another photo series. These are in black and white and are truly striking. You'll be pulled right into the waterbirth experience with the family. You also get a wonderfully clear shot of Jenna's head beginning to crown. Many lovely postpartum period shots, including baby nursing. Slight nudity and a placenta shot in this video.
Maximun Alexander the 3rd - Postpartum
I included this short video - not really a birth video - because it shows a wonderful view of the alert newborn right after natural birth and it shows the bliss of the new family. Notice at the end when Maximun begins to signal his hunger by rooting on his hands!
An Amazingly Gentle Birth Video
This birth video is a little longer, around 8 minutes. I included it because it is simply amazing. You will clearly see the effort that the mother puts into her labor. You get to see the natural "breaks" that she gets between each of her pushing contractions and her complete relaxation. And you get to see the actual birth, which is so amazingly gentle you won't believe a birth just happened. Truly inspiring! Watch this video!
