Breech Birth

This is a video of a successful, beautiful breech home birth. It is not intended for younger viewers or anyone not wishing to see an actual live up-close and personal birth. 


The Breech Homebirth of Annaka Faith from Electra Hutchison on Vimeo



"Have you heard someone say, 'I would have died if I had a homebirth' or 'my baby would have died?' Please remember that these are very emotionally charged declarations. In many cases, unnecessary interventions have caused the complications that women and babies suffer from."

Thanks so much for sharing this. I'm praising God for His wonderful design of a woman's body to be able to give birth and for granting women the privilege of doing so.

Just goes to show that birth can be a gentle experience.

An amazing experience that should have been written about and not shown on a public page like this.

This video can arm you against those who give you the fear of death at the thought of birthing a baby. Facts of life, like drinking plenty of water to prevent dehydration are valuable. ~Esther

I think that anyone who read the title could have avoided watching it if they had wished not to do so. I'm grateful you posted it!

Thank you....I was forewarned so I knew what I would be watching...it was the first live birth I've ever watched. It was so beautiful I cried. "Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord, and the fruit of the womb is His reward."

Andrea Schwartz said...

I cried, too, and I've been at 5 live births! (3 were my own!)

As far as nudity goes...at least it was only from the behind, that I saw. And it does give an accurate depiction of birth...we also see pictures of the birthing process in neonatal care books. I do not know if we want to get rid of all those pictures. It is nudity for the sake of learning, not for the sake of promiscuity.

At the onset it is very obvious that this is a video of a live birth. I have been a teenage boy...many years ago. Even when I was a unregenerate pagan I know that this would have done nothing to excite any prurient interests.
Modesty is very important to our family as I believe it is to the Seppi Family (just look at our profile pics). We all love the Lord and want the best for our sanctification. Personally, I think many profile pics are more immodest than this video. I cried during the video. Birth is a wonderful experience and I believe that the video conveys this reality very well. ♥
I thank the Seppi Family for sharing it with others. ♥

The Seppi family is a Godly and wonderful family for whom I have great respect. :)

Wow!

I would have not come out if my mother had tried a home birth. The umbilical cord was wrapped three times around my neck and my head would not fit in the birth canal. The only way out was by c-section. (I'm not against home birth, but some babies DO need help getting out.)
