I somehow missed your post as well lilaussie, when I posted my montage yesterday. I love your montage of your boy - what a handsome little fella he is! and I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, and as the other ladies mentioned, this is a great supportive and beautiful place to put your montage of your angel as well hun.

The song is called "Amazing", by a christian singer called "Janelle", not sure if she uses her last name as well, but that is what she seems to market under, but yeah, that song is so moving, i tear up everytime lol

Hi Ladies!

I have just finished Colby's birth montage through Windows Movie Maker and was wondering if any of you could tell me how to transfer it over to One True Media.

Your help is appreciated!

Cheers!

ETA - I worked it out!!!

Before here, I never even knew what a Birth Montage was or that they even existed.

I am very proud to now have one of our own. Here it is.....

Take Care!

Sara what a gorgeous job. The music that goes to it is quite eerie though, sort of goes right through you. LOL. Prob because I've never heard that version before.

You got some awesome birth pictures that look like you've done some nice cropping on. LOL, I had Abbey on all 4's too, I know how lovely it looks

I didn't know that you could do a montage via movie maker. I will have to check it out.

**Ilithyia** · April 19th, 2008, 08:59 AM

Thanks Trish.

Yeah i'm not sure what happened with the music. When I finished the montage through Movie Maker it automatically transfers it over to a Windows Media Player file. This is where when the music starts it has an echo to it. Not sure what happened there. I was a bit disappointed but nothing i can do about it now.

You got some awesome birth pictures that look like you've done some nice cropping on.

You know, I actually did'nt crop any of the pics! Some of the pics where snapshots from the video of the birth. I was just really quick and got the snaps in when everything was in the right spot to not show all the gory bits.

**Trish** · April 19th, 2008, 10:32 AM

Oh wow, then you (or your photographer) did really good then. I have the lovely bum shots. LOL. Had to do some cropping out I tell ya. And spooky with the music too.

Thought that I might share this montage of a baby born in the sac, otherwise known as in the caul.

I hope, 1 day, I either get to experience this for myself or be at a birth where mum births her baby in the caul.

The music to that clip makes it all that more magical does'nt it!

Beauitful, just beautiful!

Hey! We finally got our server and blog sorted out.

As a result, our birth montage is now reuploaded, here: Photo Montage: The Birth of Olivia Rose | Michael & Victoria

The Birth of Olivia Rose.

I've even uploaded the special extended edition.

It can sometimes take 30 seconds to start, be patient.

**Trish** · June 10th, 2008, 10:12 AM

Finally I have been able to upload my birth dvd to the computer. I have edited it obviously because I couldn't put the whole dvd on here. But I do have just the birth uploaded.

If your keen to watch and keep an open mind. Remember that this is a live birth. Not a tv one

I'm totally confused by the "this is a live birth" bit - do babies tap dance out in tv hossie?

Trish that was wonderful! I have a million questions though...lol.

Do you remember it how it looked? Like we have no visual record of DD's birth, so i only have my memories and i wonder how different they'd be if we had a recording like this. I asked XP how it looked when i was pushing and he said "2 pushes and she was out" now i KNOW (because it was me) that what happened was that my body pushed and i roared to stop it, then i realised i didn't have to and pushed once and she was out, but he saw her head come out a few more cm's with that first grunt-and-fight-it-back and interpreted it as an active push on my part. So when you watch her coming on tape, how does it tally in your mind?

Also did you feel new stinging with each extra bit of crowning/birth? I found once DD had fully crowned i felt pretty much burny-but-numb, a neck didn't feel much different to a shoulder/hip, and pushing (or not pushing) didn't change the pain level or the sensation, so it amazed me to see you could actually FEEL her progress still at that point.

It was a lovely movie hon, and i've forwarded it to DP, as i hope to homebirth our babies into his hands, and i think that it is one of the most honest, and for that moving, birth videos i've ever seen. THanks so much for sharing.
