Good UC videos for kids??

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
I'm wanting to show my kids (2.5 & 7) some peaceful UC, or even just homebirth, videos so that they can get a better idea of what to expect. We tried going over Youtube last night, but we kept getting slideshows, overly managed deliveries and women who were clearly frightened and screaming a lot. Not really what I want them to expect.

We only found one peaceful UC video before giving up.

Anyone have any links they'd like to share?

Thanks!

If you didn't see mine yet (liajoy83).... Jason's birth is very loud, but I honestly didn't expect to be so loud (based on my first UC) so in my opinion it would be a good one to show kids so they are familiar with the sounds incase you let out a few good screams... the video's just a few minutes and it also shows the placenta.
Logan's birth is pretty mellow & simple and shows about 5 min of labor....

My boys (4,6 &1) have seen both videos and thought they were interesting.

Check out Laura Shanley's video page, she has a really peaceful one on there that I showed my kids. They liked seeing the baby come out of the mama's labia . I think if you check UC videos on you tube you'll get a better idea. I did show them one where the mama was more vocal, but I explained that's how a mama sings the baby out. They were's scared and took it fine. I've very vocal in labor so I want them to see some of that too, because I suspect I will be with this baby too and I don't want them to be afraid.

This one isn't a UC but pretty peaceful:

Oh hey! I've seen yours, I actually like the screaming one better and my kids have watched it several times. I love how you go from the almost frantic screaming to just it's awesome, I cry every time.

There are plenty of UC videos on youtube have you searched specifically for unassisted births or freebirths?
