Kelly I don't have one - yet! But just wanted to say thanks for such an awesome thread!

**Julie Doula** · June 3rd, 2007, 09:15 PM

Ooohhhh Janet, I was just thinking, "do we have any from Australia?" and I saw yours and you brought tears to my eyes, you and your little baby girl are just beautiful, I love your smile and your wee baby's eyes just gazing up at you. Beautiful.

Where did you get your beaut birth pool from?

Any more from Australia?

I would love to make one of these myself when I get clever enough heh heh! Great idea, Kelly.

I just watched all of these and had a good cry!

So beautiful. Unfortunately we never thought to take photos of Esme's homebirth, and i only have 3 from right after she was born...maybe next time. Lol.

Cool! I used to have one similar but it got a hole in it ....

We built one of ours out of timber and another was was a fruit crate lined with plastic. Ahhhhh, bliss.

Julie, both mine "Home Waterbirth"(Trish) and "Waterbirth"(schmicker's wife) are Australian births. And both homebirths.

ETA, I just tried the link in your post and it doesn't work.

**Julie Doula** · June 9th, 2007, 10:04 PM

Thanks Trish I fixed it.

Off to see yours now!

(Comes back)

Ohhhh ... *happy tears*

That was heavenly.

Congratulations Trish!!!

**Trish** · June 9th, 2007, 10:16 PM

Thanks Julie. I look forward to doing it all again this December.

BTW I have already seen the story you posted. I think I found it when researching waterbirths when preg with Tehya. Still I sat and looked at them all again. Very sweet.

Schmickers Wifes birth is actully Victoria, the midwife that was present at Tehya's birth. Have a look at that one too. It's very sweet

What a shame

I think we should all bombard them with messages of disgust that birth can't be shown on there... surely people aren't complaining about birth being on there?

I urge you all to write and complain about this, it happens all the time! Otherwise we'll just have to start our own birth video website!!!

I just put in a strongly worded complaint against the removal of birth montages. Doubt it'll help but if we all do it....

Our own birth montage/video website would rocks AND roll!!!!

**BellyBelly** · June 30th, 2007, 10:30 AM

I sent it to the midwife list that I am on, one has a reply from them, I dont have one yet... they denied it and asked for example URLS... but anyway, I am going to chase this one up and give them that URL!!!

**Cherie** · July 4th, 2007, 09:58 PM

Okey dokey - I'll be the first to post a caesarean birth montage

paradise lost · July 4th, 2007, 10:10 PM

Oh Cherie i am bawling my EYES out here! You three really ARE amazing! Thankyou so much for sharing that.

**Rouge** · July 4th, 2007, 10:15 PM

Oh Cherie soooo beautiful!!! And look at him... what a little dood!

**Trish** · July 4th, 2007, 10:20 PM
