Natural Childbirth Stories | Unassisted Home Birth Video
The unassisted birth of Maelle C. 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.
