Hey! I was touched by the clip as well but the gnawing thought of "why is she reclining on a bed??!!" kept creeping in....
It reminded me of the video of the 'natural birth' I was shown during an ante natal class with a woman sitting up in bed pushing bubby out and the midwife actually said to us that this was the best position for the camera to get a good look....

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?
