This is the story of my second birth.
I went and hopped in the bath at about 1pm because I’d been having sporadic contractions for the last 24 hours on and off and had a bit of lingering back pain from it.
When I was in there they finally got into a bit of a pattern so I thought I’d relax, wash my hair a bit, be chill. My mum took my first-born, who was 20 months old at the time, for her lay down.
Wer noch nie bei einer Geburt dabei war, kann sich durch lesen und reden viel Wissen aneignen. Manche Menschen möchten trotzdem gerne auch sehen, wie so eine Geburt abläuft.
In Zeiten des Internet ist es zum Glück vergleichsweise einfach, Videos zu sehen. Oder ist es doch eher ein Fluch!? Wenn man an die falschen Videos gerät, können Geburten auch eher angsteinflößend als ermutigend sein…
Überlegt euch deshalb im Vorhinein schon, welche Art von Videos ihr gerne sehen wollt. Soll es eine Krankenhausgeburt sein? Soll es eine Hausgeburt sein? Willst du eine Wassergeburt, eine Zwillingsgeburt, eine Steißgeburt sehen?
Ich habe mir vorgenommen, auf dieser Seite zu Videos zu verlinken und jeweils eine kurze Beschreibung dazu zu liefern, so dass du anhand der Beschreibung entscheiden kannst, ob du das Video sehen magst.
Diese Liste wird also nach und nach hoffentlich länger und länger. Gerne nehme ich dabei auch Videos auf, die du besonders hilfreich fandest!

Sam’s story is full of ups and downs. She is a determined mom. She wants the birth circumstances to be how she likes them. Some people with medical background make that very hard for her; others are helpful. And, of course, the birth system also plays a role in there, forbidding the midwife to do a home-birth.
Luckily, Sam, her midwife and her partner are all determined to make baby’s birth happen with as little intervention as possible. And, as Sam concludes: It did not go like she wanted, but it was still perfect.-

SPOILER: Sam shows us pictures some of you might find disturbing, as they show the process of birthing in a very detailed way. This is the „censored“ version of the story. If you want to see the photos, pleace click- here.

Laura tells us how the father’s baby had a perfect idea for a beautiful home birth.
About us… my husband and I consider ourselves pretty green, spiritual, vegan, earthy, karma believers and live our „law of attraction†lifestyle the best we can.
A pregnancy without problems
First baby, first pregnancy. A little bit about my pregnancy. I had an amazing pregnancy. I did feel the fatigue and crumminess between week 6-12. No appetite and just super blah, but not actually throwing up, just once! From month 3 onward I had no real signs of pregnancy, I felt 100% myself. It was amazing!
Right until our little guy was born, I didn’t have an ache, Braxton-hick or a hint of fatigue. I gained 20lbs total. I started my pregnancy in the dark about the choice of freebirth, or even midwives at that point.
Mary tells us about her beautiful daughter being born — and how her dad went to get ear plugs to be able to sleep through the noise.
Even short before the birth started, I was still unsure of my gestation, only knowing that I was either 34 or 38 weeks, so it did not feel unrealistic to me to be having my baby in late May. Hah. Denial is a hell of a thing. I totally knew.
Yesterday I woke up with a crazy amount of energy. I spent my day shoveling seaweed in the garden, then going for a long walk on the beach with my love, then coming home and inhaling a huge lunch, immediately afterwards feeling a ferocious need to be alone and take a nap.

A little bit of a back story.
My first labor and birth was traumatic. I was in active labor for 36 hours and pushed for 7 hours. I was at a birthing center with a midwife and a „meh†partner (so, basically by myself.) It resulted in a transfer to a hospital a town away where I had an emergency c-section. „Diagnosis†was maternal exhaustion/failure to progress. I don’t remember a single thing after the transfer, didn’t see my daughter until 3 hours after she was born, my stitches tore open because the surgeon sucked, it got infected, they prescribed the wrong meds for the infection and I ended up needing a blood transfusion. Needless to say, I desperately wanted a different outcome with this birth… and I got it.

A Witness for the start
I was awoken to my waters leaking at 4.45am, and lay in bed for a couple of hours as they continued to trickle. I then got up and my husband took the day off work and ran some errands as I tidied around. At 11.05am they full on broke, Hollywood style! (Just as a Jehovahs Witness knocked on the door! My husband was trying his best to politely get rid of her as fast as he could as I’m stood in the hallway behind him, trousers round my ankles with fluid still pouring down and pooling all around me- 
😂)

Samstag, 16.12.2005 – mein Mann und ich saßen abends um 23 Uhr beim Fernsehen — und dann hat sich Vanessa mit einer Schmierblutung angekündigt.
Da ja meine vorhergehenden Geburten relativ schnell von statten gingen, fuhren wir ins Krankenhaus.
Dort war natürlich alles ruhig. Die Krankenschwester war eine ganz Liebe. Nach der Erstuntersuchung behielt sie mich sicherheitshalber im Kreißzimmer.
Meine Wehen spürte ich wieder mal Richtung Po — ich kannte nicht das Gefühl eines „harten“ Bauchs durch die Wehen.
