Hello fellow birthing nuts! Okay, maybe you aren't exactly a birthing nut .... yet... (hehe).
I've got a client due soon and have been getting in contact with a lot of moms-to-be - both of which have been getting me really amped up on birth related blogs, forums, websites, and youtube videos! I'm going crazy over here and the baby-fever isn't letting up anytime soon apparently!
It could also partially be due to my baby Lucy turning 10 months old tomorrow! My goodness how time flies by!
Anyways, I've been posting a lot on my facebook page and realized I really should be sharing these videos here, in the CVDS blog!
This video below is a picture slide of women who carried multiples and birthed their babies on their own! That's right - NO CESEAREAN! I think I have been especially in tune to this misconception since delivering Lucy breech. The idea that breech babies just CANNOT be born naturally is one of modern medicine and not one of birth - the same principle can be applied to multiples births. When you really think about it - there isn't anything inherently more dangerous. Obviously the same rules apply though - for example, if a baby is transverse (side-lying) OBVIOUSLY they can't be delivered vaginally - or if the mother has other complications such as high blood pressure and/or diabetes and/or some other issues - the situation changes. But for normal, boring, low-risk moms - Why not give it a shot??
So here you go! Enjoy! (I particularly love the music in the background - so motivating)
Until next time...
