Water birth

When I first saw this birth video from Australia, I thought it was an unassisted birth. I think if more midwives could stand back and leave women to catch their own babies and families to celebrate in their own way, midwives would have a better reputation. Congratulations to all.

    That is amazing and uplifting – you can tell so much about a woman’s confidence in birth and her midwife’s trust in the process because it takes a few minutes before you even see that there is a midwife involved!

    I cried of course. There is something so special about being the first hands to touch your baby. Thanks Glo for that gift.

    love Jenny
