UNBELIEVABLE HOMEBIRTH. FILMED BY HERSELF WHILE GIVING BIRTH IN TUB.

Just as all of them women should give births.

Like 6thousand years ago... there were no doctors and crap back then.

And look at us now.

My neighbor gave birth to a 12lb baby!

Unless you were having other problems, a C-section isn't necessary just because of a large baby.

Ok first off...if that mother was going to do this herself she should have had some basic supplies - a bulb syringe to suck out the babies mouth and nose - listen to the baby...its having trouble breathing..yes its crying but it sounds "gurgly" for lack of a better word. Second, the umbilical cord needs to be tied off..not not immediately but soon....

I'm all for natural birth, but not alone!! Too many things could go wrong....yes years and years ago this is how it was done, but more infants and moms died back then too

And dont give me the "natural selection" BS......cause if that were the case then NONE of my three boys would be here, and there is no one that is going to tell me that they weren't meant to be/shouldn't be. I had to have c-sections for all three, for medical reasons.....while I will agree that we are seeing too many "elective c-sections" these days, it is not fair to bag on all moms who have one. Sometimes they cannot be avoid and are the safer choice.

wow..how can you think its disgusting?

The only douchebag is YOU.

Women don't need to be 'doped up' on ANYTHING to get through chidlbirth. It hurts, but it's not the end of the world that's for sure.

I've given birth three times at home underwater. It's an amazing, beautiful, and yet, ORDINARY experience!

Thanks for posting, OP!

Would never have imagined seeing this at GLP...LOL.

What is primarily to blame is the number of high risk pregnancies related to
U.S. women on crack and meth causing LOTS of preterm deliveries or problems and NICU stays. LOTS of babies die in NICUs.

Toss in all of the women who are having babies late in life and the number of them who have had multiple abortions (abortions are not natural you know) and you get a lot of problem pregnancies.

And don't forget the teen pregnancies... teens make lousy moms.... in general.

Women are far less likely to develop preeclampsia if they have been with the father for at least a year. They think it is some sort of immune response that causes the preeclampsia. Many American women, including teens, are not with the father a year before they get pregnant. American women are rather slutty these days... not the case before the mid 60s Cultural Revolution.

Birthing IS natural.... but so is stinging nettle.
You don't wipe your ass with stinging nettle do you?

If you can live with a dead baby, or a severely brain damaged baby for the lack of a $15 bottle of oxygen and a little support for a floppy baby... then go for it.

OMG worse yet! NO the baby wasn't choking, it was taking its first breaths of air and NO the baby doesn't need to be "turned upside down". What, you think it's a waterlogged stuffed toy? WTF? Geez you're dumb.

The umbilical cord? It doesn't even need to be cut at all dummy. But after a day or two it'll be hard as leather so you can snip it then if you want.

Her bleeding? What bleeding? You inspect the placenta to make sure there are no tears in it, that's all.

Good G-D almighty there are some seriously stupid people on this forum.

Yes, how beautiful! Except that part where women died while giving birth... as would have happened to me without an emergency c-section. Stupid TECHNOLOGY!

I've had two, and I had pain relief, and I had attendants at my births to ensure things went smoothly, not being a fucking idiot to give birth like a cave-woman with not even a nurse or someone trained in emergency response present. It's a good thing, because my first had a knot in his cord and he was born blue.

But I am sure logical precautions don't make sense in your little fairy-tale, make-believe land of self-righteousness.

Actually, the cord is not tied off quickly for a reason. That is the baby's oxygen supply, so to cut it too soon (as they do in hospital) is bad for baby if the baby's breathing is not established.

There's nothing wrong with EMERGENCY C-sections. They save lives.

Unfortunately, the VAST majority of C-sections nowadays are NOT emergencies.

If God meant for us to give birth that way, He would have included a zipper, or something. LOL

Uh, dispensing medical advice without a license to practice medicine makes YOU a dumbass. Anything else you want to bold and address to me? Oh, ye EXPERT in being a self-righteous cunt.

Yep, babies don't breathe until they are exposed to air. So no breathing happened underwater. But most people are ignorant of birth so I am not surprised some think the baby sucked in water.
