Oh my goodness, lol

On saturday, me and DP were very bored, so i joined youtube and looked up birthing videos.

WOW, i must say it was an eye opener,...
Not scary, but just amazing...

a lot of videos on unassisted home births and water births.

I cried so much, it really is such a beautiful thing, im so excited and cant wait to have my bubba now

If you want to see something truly inspiring though....Painless Childbirth Using AHHH Meditation

Yes it is real

Wish Id seen it before I gave birth!

Hi Girls! I really recommend watching Ricki Lake's 'The business of being born' - a fabulous documentary on childbirth and the benefits of 'natural' (ie drug free) deliveries.

def agree. i watched Ricki Lakes DVD at the hospital birth centre when i was there last and then went to youtube and just typed in waterbirth.
so many amazing videos, it makes me cry it just looks so wonderful.

Don't be too scared hon, I think you'd be quite surprised at how 'not-scary' they are. I actually think the more you know the better when it comes to pregnancy and birth. I've learnt so much since falling pregnant and I feel so prepared for the birth now, no matter which direction it takes me.

I remember when I was having my first, the ladies at the chemist sent home a birth video with my XH and I..... I was sooooo tired I slept through the whole thing.

Wish I could do that with labour too! LOL.
