Most of these are HypnoBirthing® videos: some are of my moms, some are not. I post them because I believe that they are valuable educational tools, teaching that labor can be peaceful, beautiful, calm, and controlled. Scroll down for other videos .

A beautiful HypnoBirth at home in the water. (I worked this birth as a Birth Assistant not a doula)

The Business of Being Born - A MUST-SEE by any expecting parents.

In this video below, two methods that you will see to use for back labor are good ones : you see them at the 1:30 mark when he was doing double knee pressure. That is done when you sit in a chair. it shifts the position of your hips and relieves back labor. The second is at the 2:25 mark when he does the sacral counter pressure which does the same. Both excellent. A beautiful Hypnobirth®

Above and Below: beautiful Home Births - with a superb example of Birth Breath which is used in HypnoBirthing to 'breath the baby down" or "labor down" to crowning. 

Below:This video is one of my Hypnobirthing® couples that I had the honor of being their Doula. Mom was 10cm dilated and waiting to feel the urge to push. Dad had been patiently sitting on the very edge of the bed for a long time...They worked so beautifully together to birth a 9 pound 7 ounce baby girl completely unmedicated - and we had amazing staff. Like most HB births, it was calm and quiet. Mom's surges were 2:30 apart and lasting 1:20 at this time of this video. She had 2 surges in this video- the only indication is when she asks for the Double Hip squeeze. 
(Yes, that is me peeking around the corner to see if my phone was video-taping)
