Pema’s Birth Clip (18 sec)
Simone’s Birth Clip (17 sec)
Having been gifted by witnessing so many women birthing in their power and beauty, I offer this DVD featuring the water births of my two daughters hoping the images and ideas will support others' dreams for peaceful birthing experiences.
Please enjoy these low-resolution clips from my two birth videos:
What is on the DVD?
Simone’s Birth video (high-resolution, 12:28 min): The first birth (of Simone) is attended by a few midwife friends along with my husband and mother. We see the progress from a dilation check of two centimeters to my wacky move-the-baby down-dance, some praying and kissing and the baby surfacing beautifully. The mood is relaxed and joyous.
Pema’s Birth video (high-resolution, 15:08 min): The second birth (of Pema) is an unassisted birth. We waited for Simone (then 4-years-old) to arrive with friends while the baby begins to descend. She arrives just in time to watch her sister be born. We watch Simone's excitement and surprise as she first meets her new sister. Simone adds much humor to the event. Along with baby Pema's arrival, we see the delivery of the placenta and the first nursing.
Birth Commentaries: There is the option to view each birth with my commentary, including what was going on in my head, midwifery tips and some suggested childbirth preparations.
Video Chat (high-resolution, 5:55 min): I’ve also included a short video where I describe my birth philosophy and practices in more detail.
