I have a friend in the Seattle area who is studying to become a Midwife, as she gave birth twice at home. She is very connected with the Doula/midwife community. Not sure where she found this presentation, but worth the watch.

Thank God it wasn't just me. I was bawling too. You are right- hormones.
totally this. I am not brave enough to do a home water birth. But I can totally appreciate how beautiful & amazing they are.
When I got to the pic where the baby came out, and the Dad is BAWLING. I lost it.
Thanks, I had hesitated because of that. I'll watch it at home.
I was so overwhelmed by the hands on the baby I forgot about the tears from daddy. There is a moment when a man becomes a father, and in many cases it happens slightly before the birth of the baby. That was his moment. I will never forget that moment with my husband and I think it may forever be my favorite second in our whole marriage.
And now I'm crying.
I didn't even watch the video. The pics were too much.
Baby # 2 edd 11/26/08 - Ezra Jacob born 11/29/08, 9 lbs 6 oz., 21 3/4 in
Baby #3 edd 05/04/13 - Titus Jude born 05/01/13, 9 lb 5 oz. 21.5 in
FYI, it doesn't get more graphic than what you saw really. No money shots. Def a mostly naked body, but never any vagina.
frankly I was impressed that we didin't see any breast as well. I don't know I could have stayed as covered up as she did.
On the side, presentations like this make me wish that my birthing experience was more natural and less medical. But, I am not unhappy with my outcome- a healthy child.
fvck Ohzy, you always make me cry even MORE!! gahhhh

Lol, don't blame me, this shiit is IOWAs fault!!!!!!!!!!
That was amazing.
Can I add one thing? I never thought about it before but how traumatic (maybe not the best word to use, maybe shocking) it is for a baby to be born. It's all nice, warm and snuggly. Then you're squeezed out and all of a sudden they're huge people in your face. And it's now cold.
No wonder they cry.
But the love of the parents is all worth the birthing process.
That was nice and all but I could not get past the tv hanging above the pool. I know ours is pretty sturdy up on the wall but I don't know that I would trust having people moving up and down around it (especially people who have something else to keep their attention) while I sat in a pool of water under it!
That and I hope their last name is Breyker.
"It's a child, not a cheeto" Thanks mmariluh!
"Ew. I've read all of two posts from you, and you stink like rotting garbage."
I hope you are right about the name.
