This is not a hypnobirth. This is an unassisted, physiological birth that takes place in the couple’s backyard. Dad captures the easy, un-eventful birth on his video camera. It’s amazing to watch. It takes the baby a minute to clear his lungs and start breathing on his own, and the mom just calmly waits. She knows he is still getting all the oxygen he needs from her placenta, and as long as the placenta is still attached to the uterus, the baby is essentially wearing scuba gear. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if all women could be this relaxed and confident about childbirth, even in a hospital setting?
