We have all seen A Baby Story or Special Delivery, but what really happens when a woman is in labor?  Since YouTube is a great resources for...well, just about anything, I decided to compile a few of them for your review.  I tried to find several scenarios, home birth, birth center, and hospital birth.  I also included a medical cesarean section video section (the mother is not shown through the procedure) and a slide show of a woman detailing her experiences with the surgery, as the current rate for Cesarean Section birth in the United States is 27.5% (CDC Report 9/22/05).

These are all videos found on YouTube.  I did not make any of them.  I tried to include several different types of births and birthing positions. The videos in these collections may change periodically.

One thing to note in watching these videos:  The people who make rude comments on YouTube are generally idiots.

Instructions:  Click on a video to start the playlist running, each session has a few videos for each subject.  To jump around use the "<" symbol on the side of the screen to pick different videos within the playlist.

If you are using internet explorer, it may come up as "restricted" for use of scripts.  If you click, allow, it will provide you with the embedded YouTube videos.  If you feel more comfortable , you can directly to the Dragonfly Doula YouTube page.
