Beautiful Waterbirth Montage

Just came across this on another midwife's blog and thought it was too beautiful not to share! I love how hands off this midwife is and allows the birth to be mom's and the baby's.

Another Beautiful Montage

Almost a month ago (wow, where has time gone?), my apprentice and good friend, Dy gave birth to her fourth baby. I was honored to be present at this amazing event. She has graciously allowed me to share it here. Enjoy - and maybe get some tissues ready!

Beautiful Birth Montage

I had the honor of attending the birth of a client and good friend last week. Labor was harder and longer than anticipated, but mom was so committed and her husband was a rock for her. It was a beautiful event. She has granted me permission to share her birth montage here. Enjoy!

Cesarean vs, VBAC - a dramatic difference

This is such a touching video and eye opening video. Most people do not realize the force needed to get a baby out during a cesarean section - in the second birth, a vacuum is used as well as manual force. It is 16 minutes long, but worth the time.

Labor of Love

This trailer is for the new book Labor of Love, written by Cara Muhlhahn. Cara is a homebirth midwife in NYC. You may remember her from documentary, The Business of Being Born.
I just love this clip! I relate so much to her feelings of what it is to be a midwife and why I do it.

What Babies Want Documentary

I hope that I have the opportunity to see this documentary in the near future. It looks amazing. My hope is that our culture comes to understand how important birth and the newborn period is for our babies and how it shapes who they become.
