Amazing birthing videos and slide shows

I came across the following website yesterday: http://themidwife.net/index_files/homebirthmidwifestudentwomanshealthvideos.htm

There are beautiful slide shows and videos of natural and home births on there. I watched quite a few yesterday. When Joe came home, I was sitting on the couch with tears streaming down my face. They are so moving.

eeeewwwwwwwwwwww :) Are you thinking of having someone record the whole thing? I think those are some great videos, but i cannot let kate see any of that right now! The nausea is challenging enough, if she sees the pain and discomort from these videos, she will quit on me! In a few months i may be able to bring these out. we are getting giddy with anticipation for you guys over here....

Hi Iv,

We are not planning on videotaping our birth. I want to be fully present to it, and remember it through my experience. I still haven't watched my wedding videos for that reason. My memory of it is so precious, I want not to change a thing. I am very grateful to these women for sharing these videos. I see their pain, but, more so, I see their strength. And I think its amazing.
