Hi everyone!
This is the English version of my birthing video (the original is in German).
So many pregnant women have thanked me for sharing my birthing video as it showed them what a gentle birth can look like. I hope the English version will help and inspire even more women and men to prepare for the arrival of their babies!
GETTING AN IDEA OF WHAT BIRTH LOOKS LIKE
When we took our hypnobirthing class, I watched a birthing video for the very first time and it was incredibly helpful for me. I mean, where else do we get any realistic insight into what a birthing process can look like? Movies usually depict the worst ideas of birth! Women laying on their backs in the hospital, screaming like crazy, bright light, no intimacy, a bunch of medical staff and beeping devices around them... This is not what a birth needs to look like!
YOUR BIRTH IS YOUR CHOICE ONLY!
There are so many options you have and I would like to encourage you to get well informed and make your own choice that feels right to you! About the birth place, the birthing position, the people you want to be there or not, the sound, the lighting... It is all up to YOU! You, as a mom, need to feel completely comfortable and supported to experience a gentle and safe birth!
From my own experience, I can say that a self-determined birth is just the best way to start into motherhood!
HYPNOBIRTHING AS A WAY TO HEAL AND PREVENT TRAUMA
Most mothers I met have negative memories, even trauma, regarding the birth of their child or children. I am really sorry for every mother who has suffered through and from a negative birth experience! I really hope that I can make a difference by sharing my story! Especially for those moms who have had bad experiences and wish to have more children, I pray that you will find the right information in order to overcome your trauma and experience a beautiful birth the next time! Please look into "Hypnobirthing" as a way to prepare yourself!
FEW MORE TIPPS
A gentle and safe birth will be important to you as a mother just as much as to your baby, of course! Please, also research about the benefits of a birth without interventions, home birth, water birth and delayed cord clamping/ lotus birth.
NO TRIGGERS HERE
And for your info: this video does not contain any triggers for soon-to-be parents, no blood, no intimate body parts, nothing disgusting or scary!
MY BIRTHING MUSIC:
As many of your were asking, this is the music I used in the video and that was playing all throughout our birth and the entire night after ;) :

FYI: I HAD A COMPLETELY VEGAN PREGNANCY!
My son has grown up on a completely plant-based diet ever since he was conceived. I, myself, was born and grew up on a vegetarian diet since 1986. I turned vegan in 2012 and had a healthy vegan pregnancy with my son, and this beautiful home birth in 2017.
For anyone interested in the benefits of a plant-based diet in general and especially during pregnancy, I recommend the evidence-based work of Dr. Greger:

There is also a video on specific foods for healthy labor and delivery! ;)
