Real Birth Footage

[puppies]

Girls I don't know what I was thinking when I did a Google search for real birth footage. I guess I was just curious having never experienced or seen a birth before. At first I was shocked and thinking to myself, 'what have I got myself in for, how am I going to do that' but mind you I was in tears as I watched the baby arrive and saw the reaction of the parents when they were handled their baby. I guess I am glad I saw this footage as it is helping me prepare my mind what is going to happen in just 5 months time. I would rather be prepared than rudely shocked!

If you wan to check it out and make sure you have a box of tissues before you click the link below!

Actual Footage of Giving Birth : Videos of Mothers Giving Birth to Babies

We had a camera set up out of the way for the birth of our daughter. Photos are one thing but the video is just that much better. The first cry always brings tears to my eyes (we also taped her first cry on our mini recorder) It is such a precious thing to have and look back on. And I think (well hope) she will cherish it when she is bigger

Sign me up - I want another one!

[~Raven~]

I wouldn't be too happy with that OB though. For a bit there I didn't think he was going to hand her over to Mum

It was a nice calm birth though and it gave me a sniffle or 2

Must admit I thought the same thing. I think he liked being on TV! Yes I think she had a Epidural...

[Jennifer13]

Typical American birth though... No skin-to-skin contact, ob does all the 'work' (apparently), epidural, episiotomy (did you hear him say 'I just have to make a little more room here') and all that suctioning once the baby was born!

No way would I want him for my delivery!

[puppies]

opps have to watch it again I don't think I recognised the suctioning...
So typically what is different to an American birth to an Aussie birth (besides the beer in the fridge)?

[~Raven~]

I didn't think of her having an epidural. I was calm like that for my first and it was drug free.

that was awsome to watch. made me cry! thanks for sharing that with us darl

[puppies]

Yep I needed two tissues... what an amazing thing to experience. I can't believe that will be me in 5 months! Just makes me more impatient to meet my little buba!

[Heaven]

Oh I cried at the end when they were looking at the baby and saying how beautiful it was.
I would have been telling him to give me my baby though!! jeez!!

[New Dawn]

I wanted to see a bit more iykwim Yes I have had 3 babies but I have never seen it from the busness end... I want to see what BHL has been talking about all this time!!!

He tells anyone who will listen to him not to go down there lol poor bugger just as he went for a sneek peak with DS my waters broke all over him

Hate to tell you girls mine was nothing like that I was very very vocal I always get told to harness all the energy I am giving to screaming into pushing my babies out.... I think I just hurt there ears to much!!!

Awww What a beautiful baby

I think you need to have another person filming though.. her Dh should have been holding her hand lol

That BO was like no its my baby.. Hand it over matey!!

[Devon]

Awwwww! And didn't look scary at all. I can't wait! Raven - I know what you mean about the OB - I would hope the baby would be put straight on mum's chest, that's what I'd like.
