Childbirth Video Galleries

Welcome to the Childbirth Video Galleries!  View inspiring movies and clips that truly reveal the beauty of bringing a child into the world. These movies come in all different varieties.  Some are waterbirth clips while others are of homebirths and hospital births.  Some of the selections even have a bit of both.  A few of the selections are also of unassisted birth, in which there is no doctor or midwife present.  Either the partner, father, or even the mother herself will catch the baby.  One particular selection shows a rare event, a waterbirth showing a baby born "en caul" or with its amniotic sac still intact.

Viewing videos of childbirth helps women understand the real face of birth, not the sensationalized scenes depicted in modern media. Most women have had so much negative exposure, through both anecdotes and the media, they may not realize the true face of natural childbirth.  Even hearing the positive stories of other mothers may not be enough to undo the years of conditioning to fear giving birth.  However, it's one thing to read or hear a story, but it is much more powerful to actually watch a woman giving birth naturally.  

FOR BEST VIEWING:  Click the "play" button on the bottom left corner of each movie, not the  arrow in the middle of the screen.  Then click "pause" so it will load properly.  A red bar will spread across the bottom as it loads.   All clips are best viewed using the free Firefox browser.

Internet Explorer Users: You may need to click the "play" button twice for each selection to load properly.

WARNING:  Some of the selections are graphic in nature.  Some show the umbilical cord, blood, placenta, and other graphic scenes.   You will see a "Graphic" warning at the top of the page to ensure that you are sufficiently warned before viewing.

Be sure to check back often as birth videos will be added frequently.
