Have you had this conversation at your place?
Thank you to those families who shared such intimate images.
I hope it can be a part of more conversations about birth as a family
event rather than a medical management bonanza.

What is the piece of music Janet? It’s lovely.
beautiful, in tears here
This is awesome. What a message to dads! Thankyou for sharing it!
Beautiful! Can’t wait to do it again.
Glad you all like it.
The music is Barbara Bonney singing “Morgen” R.Strauss, Ops 27, No. 4. There’s also an arrangement for voice and orchestra but I prefer the spare perfection of the piano version.

just beautiful!
This video actually gives me a lot of anxiety. While I understand some of the benefits of a home birth, I also worry about emergency medical care for the babies if necessary. Additionally, some women are just not built for the birthing process and in some cases may need an emergency c-section for the life of her child and her own. Was the hospital a more regimented experience, yes, but it gave me comfort to know my child would have immediate care if she needed it.
Hi Nicole and thanks for dropping by.
The montage makes you anxious? I wonder what that means to you? I also wonder on reading your comment which women you feel are “just not built for the birthing process”?
