One of the reasons vaginal birthed babies don't need excessive suctioning.

nevermind the silly comments beneath.

What a gorgeous video. And yeah the comments are just proof of how F-ed up our society's veiws on birth are.

though I do have to say that whole laboring on your back thing looks like torture!! Can't believe I ever went through that.

Can't watch it because it's been flagged and I don't have my account set up to watch flagged material since my kids use this account. :(

you know, that bothered me alot that they were holding her legs down when she was trying to move them. :(

can you open another account, under another e mail address and remove the flag?

It bothered me that they seemed to yank the baby out by it's head. I was watching with sound off since I'm at work.

A lot of the birth videos on youtube are from europe(was this one?) and show babies being tugged out. Is it normal or am I just finding the ones that are going to freak me out?

[karunamayi]

it did look like she was putting alot of traction on baby's neck. I never noticed that in other videos, really. I was just so impressed with the Vaginal Heimlich that happened.

This one is very sweet:

I actually chose "on my back" as the comfortable position with my second birth.

Now the monitoring belt was my torture! (though I didn't have one the second time).
