There's a live streaming of a birth centre labour and eventual waterbirth happening online right NOW!
AquaNatal Birth Spa
and
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/live-m...-of-waterbirth
(both the same streaming)
It's also got a realtime chat happening and being updated by 'shandril93' who is a student midwife attending the birth and co-owner of the centre.
Not sure if I'm allowed to post this... :redface: :hide: But I thought many would be interested :)
She is 9cm and in the water now :) It is amazing, she's doing hypnobabies with her doula, calm, smiling, laughing, eating, drinking. What a wonderful thing to watch!!!
Its gorgeous isn't it!
Thanks for posting link
its taking ages to load... but hopefully i cans see it soon!
Im watching right now, I looooooooooove the lighted bath, thats so cool!
thats amazing... im glued to it!
thanks for putting it on FB leash, this is amazing!! She is doing so great!!
Oh I'm watching it too, it is so beautiful, weirdly enough makes me cluckly for another baby. Maybe its because she is so calm.
The wonders of modern technology that we can be watching this
LOL the live chat thing is giving me motion sickness ROFL too many words!!!
She is doing great, she looks so calm!
yes me 2 lol I am just watching and occasionally seeing BB names on chat, i didnt register to chat
The link is fine, we've had one posted before ;)
She's feeling 'pushy' OooooOooooOooo! :leap:
There are a few of us in chat lol
Although can I just say that whats being talked about makes me think we are a teeny bit more progressed in our thinking about birth than the US (personal education wise not medically).
I'm wathcing but no logged in to chat. It is going way to fast for me anyway. I need to go and get tea started but I don't want to miss it
it's just beautiful :)

If I could combine these two emoticons:
:leap::crying:
That would sum up how I feel.
AMAZING!!!

it was beautiful I saw a few BB girls in chat but i didnt register!
I missed it live.. but just watched the recording. WOW. That's the 2nd birth I've watched where the baby was just breathed out. VERY inspiring. And if I'm planning on having my kids around at the time, what a lovely thing for them to see... instead of mummy pushing and groaning and carrying on LOL.
i cried.... my chat kept stuffing up though i was trying to type but it kept freezing etc :(
That was incredible! DW and I watched it together. I've never seen such a calm birth.
I thought the conduct of the people in chat was most rude, though. I was quite disgusted by some of the comments.
