I have seen this on a few websites I read daily, as well as here, and i thought it was beautiful, certainly made me cry. I keep wanting to go back and watch it again, but each time I am surprised a new by how still the mother seems to be. You can see how happy and healthy mum and baby are at birth, so I can only assume she was doing exactly the right thing for her - but I guess I expected a homebirth to have more moving around, standing up, etc. There is a big gap in there between 6 and 7:30ish, maybe she was off going for a walk, who knows, I guess I just can't imagine being able to spend what appears to be so much time reclining during active labour.
Was anyone else struck by this? If nothing else my reaction tells me something about my own preconceptions and expectations :-). cheers Jo At 21:21 +1000 14/4/04, megan davidson wrote: >This from the ukmidwifery list and is an absulutely beautiful birth!!! >Megan >----- Original Message ----- >From: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Maxine Moss >To: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Tuesday, April 13, 2004 5:44 PM >Subject: [ukmidwifery] Check this out :-) > > > >Sorry if you've seen it before:- > >Takes a little while to load, but worth the wait > ><http://danielfairbanks.com/jude/jude.htm>http://danielfairbanks.com/jude/jude.htm > >Max >x > > > >CHANGING YOUR UKMIDWIFERY SETTINGS: > >To change to the Daily Digest, go no-mail (ie read emails only on the website), to >leave the list, and to remove graphics and adverts from messages, go to 'Edit My >Membership' at ><http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ukmidwifery>http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ukmidwifery > >You can also UNSUBSCRIBE by sending a blank email to: >[EMAIL PROTECTED] and NOT to the usual group address. >*********************** > > > > >Yahoo!
