Change Your Mind About Birth

Are There Any Beautiful Birth Videos

Yes, and we’ll watch some here that show different parts of the birth process.

The goal is for you to see what beautiful births look like — to know that they exist in many forms, and to make it easier for you to create your own.

Although I mention the original sources of these videos, I don’t recommend going directly to them, because you may come across other videos on the same accounts that are less pleasant to watch.

The clips below are carefully selected for you, and I recommend them together with participating in the course/books. In the course you’ll find many explained examples.

In the next video, we will observe:

— a water birth during the pushing phase

— a gravity-supported position (on the knees, legs apart)

— spontaneous bearing down, as the body pushes automatically

— holding onto the edge to channel tension into another part of the body

— changing positions after the baby is born in the water

— the midwife handing the baby into the mother’s arms

— vernix on the baby — that beneficial white creamy coating

— part of the amniotic sac

— black meconium — baby’s first poop — released during birth

In the next video, we will observe:

— a hospital labor

— the husband assisting and being actively involved

— changing positions throughout labor

— resting in bed between contractions

— a 45° leaning position on her husband

— sitting and moving on the birthing ball

— listening to affirmations and relaxing

— breathing and counting through contractions

— signaling with her fingers when a contraction begins

In the next video, we will observe:

— the ease with which she handles her contractions

— she does her makeup as a coping method and uses long exhales

— she moves gently on the fitness ball

— she gives birth in the hospital

In the next video, we will observe:

— midwives showing the different phases of labor

— what mothers generally look like in the various stages of dilation

— something fun

In the next video, we will observe:

- the coping method: laboring in the shower

- a gravity-supported position

- using a long piece of fabric for support

- the partner being an active participant

- active labor

- the slow, rhythmic breathing I teach in the course

- the moment when the contraction passes — she feels good, relieved, and her breathing shifts

In the next video, we will observe:

— a water birth at home, assisted by a midwife

— the placenta being birthed naturally during the process

— the mother checking on her own whether the placenta is ready to come out

— her gently pulling the cord herself and delivering the placenta at a pace that feels comfortable for her

— the placenta coming out with the full amniotic membrane in which the baby lived

— the umbilical cord still intact; no one has cut it yet, and you can see it is white, meaning the full blood transfer to the baby has already completed

In the next video, we will observe:

— the placenta placed in a bowl

— a method of “cutting” the umbilical cord, commonly used at home

— using fire for the separation, which takes several minutes

— the process itself can be a ceremony, as fire is considered purifying

— this can be part of a “lotus birth” or done shortly after birth

— the umbilical cord is completely white

In the next video, we will observe:

— the father actively participating in the birth

— midwives assisting

— how easily a baby can be born in a side-lying position on the bed

— the baby being born with the membranes intact — another perfectly normal variation

— the umbilical cord wrapped around the baby

— the calm, the relaxation, and the slow, gentle rhythm of the birth

In the next video, we will observe:

— a hospital birth in a side-lying position

— simplicity, gentleness, and calm

— the partner actively involved in the birth, even helping to “catch” the baby

— a little bit of blood — another completely normal variation

— IV lines in different places, on each hand and on the shoulder, each with a different purpose

— a baby who doesn’t cry

— a baby with almost no vernix — another normal variation

In the next video, we will observe:

— screaming as another perfectly normal variation

— a gravity-supported position, with a simple bowl placed underneath

— the husband’s support and active involvement in the birth

— even in a private clinic, she can give birth right next to the birthing tub

— amniotic fluid splashing everywhere, because part of the “waters” can come out at any stage — even during the final push

— how the baby comes out with the head facing downward, then naturally rotates so the shoulders can pass smoothly through the opening

— the umbilical cord around the neck and the technique used to free it

— vernix — the white, ultra-hydrating cream-like coating on the baby

— an umbilical cord still full of blood

In the next video, we will observe:

— a gravity-supported birthing position in the hospital

— the husband right beside her

— a small “ah” sound during the ring of fire as the baby’s head emerges

— the umbilical cord around the neck and how easily it is slipped off

— the baby’s elongated head, shaped this way to help with the passage (we’ll talk about head molding — the fontanelles — inside the course), which quickly returns to its round shape

— vernix on the baby’s body

— a very relaxed, easygoing doctor

In the next video, we will observe:

— a water birth

— what an amazing birthing tub it is

— the moment of expulsion, where the mother catches her baby herself

— how the head comes out slowly, then the rest of the body comes out quickly

— how the water acts like a brake when the baby would otherwise come out fast

— the support and involvement of the husband

— vernix on the baby’s body

— the absence of blood

In the next video, we will observe:

— the peaceful moment right after a twin water birth

— the father’s involvement and support

— both placentas held in their arms

— the blood in the water, which can appear only after the placentas detach from the uterine wall — and this is completely normal (it’s essentially your “period” arriving together with the birth)

— that even with twins, natural birth is possible (in Romania too — at Armonia CT)

În videoul următor vom observa:

- metoda de gestionare a contracțiilor în travaliul latent de a dansa

- naşterea a doua pentru Megan şi prințul Harry

- sunt în spital, travaliu pornit natural

- are libertate de mişcare

- travaliul poate fi distractiv, relaxant şi frumos chiar şi în spital

In the next video, we will observe:

— using water immersion in the bathtub as a coping method during early (latent) labor

— calm, quiet contractions

— monitoring the baby’s heartbeat with a wireless Doppler

— a gravity-supported position

— the expulsion phase in a special birthing pool

— the mother catching her baby herself

— a midwife assisting at home

In the next video, we will observe:

— a gravity-supported position

— managing the expulsion phase in peace and calm

— the soft sounds of slow, relaxed breathing

— the umbilical cord wrapped around the baby and how even the mother can gently unwrap it

— the slow rhythm of the moment

— how it can take a few seconds for the baby to start external breathing, because the placenta is still oxygenating them anyway

Breech Births

In the next video, we will observe:

— a breech birth (with the baby coming bottom-first)

— at home, on the bed

— how the baby’s bottom comes out first — and yes, they can poop already

— how the expulsion takes a bit longer than a head-first birth, but still progresses quickly

— how the legs come out one at a time, and the mother has no idea what that sensation was — completely new — and then the little arms follow

— the umbilical cord wrapped around the neck

— how she needs to lift herself slightly to make more space

— how calm and grounded the husband is while assisting

— how the midwife supports from a gentle distance

In the next video, we will observe:

— a home water birth

— a gravity-supported position, at about 45 degrees

— how even with a blocked coccyx, the birth can still be easy

— the midwife assisting, along with the little daughter

— the mother’s peace and calm

— her controlled, steady breathing

— how the head emerges first, then the rest of the body

— how she pushes with ease, waiting for the short contractions

— the absence of blood — meaning no tearing at all

— the midwife gently removing the umbilical cord from around the neck or body

— how she lightly stimulates the baby’s foot to encourage a cry, helping clear the mucus more quickly
