    As a student midwife, seeing this video made me so emotional. Every day I see and hear of women not being given enough choices on how they want to welcome their newborns into the world. Some don't even get to choose which position to birth in. They lay on their back, in pain, with their adrenaline through the roof making it 10x worst for them. Some leave with traumas and scars for life and it pains me to see that. As a student, there is only so much I can do to support those women. Seeing you give birth in the most beautiful and heartwarming way is so inspiring to me. This is what I would like for my women to feel like. I want to teach them that birth is not something to be feared but to be welcomed instead. Labor, if approached correctly can feel joyful, orgasmic, and blissful. I will definitely be signing up to your course to learn more about your approach. it is so inspiring!

    • @ilovejulie89
      @ilovejulie89 Před rokem +21

      The medical system for birth is built the wrong way. Instead of supporting women during pregnancy and birth (and postpartum), women are put into uncomfortable positions and choices and told that's the way it has to be done. Informed consent is thrown out the window and the number of women having traumatic births is so high! My first was a beautiful homebirth after watching Ellen and others for so long and really educating myself on what is best for me and what's in the interest of the medical system. I'm pregnant now with my second and having another homebirth. It's the best way ❤️

    Ellen I just wanted to say thank you. Before I found your channel and saw the love in your family, I wanted to be sterilized when I turned 18. I was 15 and looking up ways to talk doctors into it, thinking ‘Why should I bring a child into this world? So many other children need homes, I’d rather adopt. I’d rather die than be pregnant.’
    But I found your channel during Scout’s pregnancy and you showed something so different to what I’d always known pregnancy, birth, and having children to be. It wasn’t contractions.. it was waves. It wasn’t pregnancy the state of feeling huge, ‘like a whale’, sickly, it was bringing a new life into the world. It wasn’t a parasite, it was getting to meet your baby at the end of the day. It wasn’t a live or death battle with pain and your own body, it was embracing yourself in its most powerful, ancient state. Giving birth to a new life.
    It’s so profound to me now, so sacred and so beautiful.
    You’ve changed me Ellen, and I seriously can’t thank you enough. Please continue to teach other women the value of family and that having children is not the bane of existence it is portrayed to be nowadays. That family is worth fighting for and we would be lost without it. ❤

      Yeah and in olden days or medieval time close family members like mother, sister or a child of that pregnant woman used to be with her to motivated n calm her during delivery
      Even In animals in wild, females give birth surrounded by her children (cubs) and other female associates of animal pack, they cheer her, calm her, guide her, and motivate her to go thru labor
      ChildBirth is treated as an auspicious event and birth of new life is happy thing for animals except humans, cos humans have far sexualised n put in bad light pure events like even labor n delivery or birth of new baby , and many doctors or nurses today behave abusively with mothers n infants lol and in olden days this abuse was there too, but that's the fact, Pure 'Childbirth' is viewed in a bad sense only by humans, cos they evolved into societies but somewhat wrongly n away from nature

    After a first and only traumatic c section, I learned hypnobirthing and went on to have 4 respected VBACs in the hospital with no interventions at all. The hospital had a special birthing room with a tub and the doctor was fully into respected birth, so I felt safe and comfortable. Sadly and gladly the last time was not so great because the hospital started losing focus on mothers and it was suddenly all about the money or their convenience. I had to labor among people telling us to pay right then and there and making us sign papers. I couldn't sign anything, I fully dilated and called for the doctor. When my doctor entered the room he yelled at them to get out or start helping. In my heart I knew hospitals had nothing to offer to me anymore, my husband was acting like a caged animal and asking to be discharged all the time. We wanted to be out of there so badly. So now we are going for our first homebirth, I feel confident and very excited, my heart and body are ready, I have learned to birth easily. I'll let you know how it goes.

As soon as I know it's possible to find out, I'm just so impatient that I don't think I could wait any longer.

    • @jmk1962

      I think it helps when going through the birth to not know the gender, it keeps you going because you want to know what the baby is going to be and then you get the joy when you find out what it is when it's born.
      I hate when people find out before, it takes away the surprise.
      The only time I think it's better to know is if you have say 2 boys and are wanting a girl, then it's probably best to know before the birth so you don't feel dissapointed when the baby comes if it is another boy. It gives you time to adjust and realise you are never going to have a daughter so by the time the baby arrives you are over it and welcome your 3rd son or vice versa.
