On April 23rd, 2016 at 11:57pm Edge Robert Sampson came into the world born perfectly unassisted into his mothers hands while his father watched and his 3 older brothers slept in their beds. Total labor was from about 7:30pm when I realized my contractions were real to 11:57pm when he was born. 35 minutes after birth the placenta was born. This is a completely physiological birth with no checks, monitors, medications, or interventions. The first part is dark, I was laboring in our bedroom by candle light, for about 2 hours, moaning through contractions and having some intimate moments with my husband as labor progressed. The camera was moved to the bathroom after I got in the tub.
This is a raw video of birth and as such contains nudity.
