Nevermind. It looks like this video has been shown before and then turned into a debate and was beat to death. No point in making people angry/upset/sad again.

:(
The way they were pulling and yanking on that baby was awful.

And can I just say that I am sooooooo glad that I never had an epi.:dizzy:

I posted that video a while ago, and I got totally flamed for it.

Just warning you.

:yeah:


It is hard to watch. It's like I can feel the sensations ..ergh

Here's the thread I got flamed in for posting that vid

There...Just so you are aware...

oh my. I actually think this was highly educational. If you pick an episiotomy and birth similar to this after seeing this video that is obviously a valid choice but so many people just get an episiotomy as a matter of course.

:shrug ...seems she was already disrespected. :hide:

ETA: It did not seem that the baby was in distress or that it was done because of an emergency.

I know but what can ya do :shrug:

I'm just letting the OP know that there are mommas out there that will take offense to this vid being posted *again* and she'll get flamed for it, just like I did..

Here's your flameproof suit, and fire extinguisher. I think I'll go to bed now...

I'll check this thread in the morning and put out any embers for you.
