Unassisted Birth
The unassisted birth of Maelle C. Born 10 days "late" weighing 9 pounds 11 ounces, 21.5" long. Only myself, my husband and my sister were present (well, Maelle was present too).
The placenta came out about 15-20 minutes after the birth. We cut the cord about 5 minutes after the placenta had been delivered, when the cord was white and limp (no more blood flow).
This was my second birth, but my first homebirth. I used HypnoBirthing to help me stay relaxed, and read books to give me useful ideas and encouragement on how to birth naturally. My 2 favorite books were Ina May's Guide to Childbirth and Birthing from Within.

Bastian's Birth - Part 1
Bastian James was bornfree 11/20/2007 at 4:29am. He weighed 10.95 lbs and was nearly 23 inches long. Though I had the support of a large community of friends, Bastian's birth was unassisted by medical professionals - no doctor, midwife, or doula was present at his birth. I did my own prenatal care and prepared by educating myself and reading positive birth stories.
This was my third birth and my first homebirth. I wouldn't have had it any other way! I only wish I'd stayed home for all three. Yes, it was painful. I wanted to show what it was really like. It was really hard, yes, but it was amazing. I did it! Really, all I did was trust my body to do it's job. That's all. It's both no big deal and pretty remarkable, I guess.
One night in November, friends came over and I had a baby. We sat around afterwards and talked and ate together...and oh my goodness, did I feel loved!

Morgan and I were asked to do an interview on cross-nursing. It was taped last month and aired on July 28th. We're both generally happy with how it turned out.
You said you wanted more videos of Bastian, right? Well, there he is:) Donovan's there and looking adorable, too!
