I had not heard of it before either. But after a little research here’s what I’ve found.

Lotus birth is allowing the umbilical cord to remain intact and connected to the placenta until it naturally detaches itself from the body. Just as it naturally would three to 10 days after birth.

This is seen as giving the baby time to adjust and to transition from living in the womb with the placenta as their only source of nutrients to living in the world. It is a big transition and this is said to help make it easier.

You don’t find many childbirth videos of Lotus birth, but I did find one today I thought I’d share with you.

Born 10 days “late” weighing 9 pounds 11 ounces, 21.5″ long. Only myself, my husband and my sister were present (well, Maelle was present too).

The placenta came out about 15-20 minutes after the birth. We cut the cord about 5 minutes after the placenta had been delivered, when the cord was white and limp (no more blood flow).

This was my second birth, but my first homebirth. I used HypnoBirthing to help me stay relaxed, and read books to give me useful ideas and encouragement on how to birth naturally. My 2 favorite books were Ina May’s Guide to Childbirth and Birthing from Within.

Not only is this a natural childbirth after cesarean, it’s a HOMEBIRTH!! This mom fought long and hard, did her research and made natural childbirth the only option for her twins.

The natural chidlbirth video you are about to see is amazing and brought tears to my eyes. I hope you enjoy it and it encourages you to believe that a natural childbirth is possible no matter what your circumstances.

I think there are so few instances that women actually have the chance to see a real natural childbirth ~ until it is their own birth. The images we see of [tag-tec]natural childbirth[/tag-tec] are generally exaggerated and are not a realistic picture of what natural childbirth really can be like.

I currently have a few [tag-ice]natural childbirth videos[/tag-ice] on the site, including a gentle waterbirth video, a hypnosis for childbirth video, and another waterbirth video that shows the actual birth. This one is really amazing. The woman’s expression as she births her baby and sees it for the first time is priceless.

I think it is imperative for women to be able to see what they can really expect from a natural childbirth instead of the screaming and hateful words we frequently see depicted in TV and movies.

If you have a natural childbirth video you would like to share I would be glad to add it to the site, just send me a link to your video. :)

Enjoy your natural childbirth videos. Come back or stop by the Natural Pregnancy and Childbirth Forum and let me know what you think.

If you aren’t familiar with Ina May she is an amazing midwife who has birthed babies on “The Farm” a Tennessee commune since the late 60s. She is an amazing woman and I was excited to find these videos and share them with you.

Ina May also wrote the amazing books Spritual Midwifery and Ina May’s Guide to Childbirth ~ which I recommend to every mother wanting to experience a natural childbirth.

Here’s the Ina May Gaskin videos talking about Natural Childbirth.

Enjoy~
