But I disagree about forgetting the pain. People tell you that, but I never did.
indeed birth does not have to be that painful I have had 4 drugfree homebirths ,the last(at age 39) was 25min 2nd stage and I slept through 1st stage ...pain out of 10 about 3 ,I have endured far worse pain with other illnessesPain, endorphins, comfort techniques, water, doulas, epidurals: Orgasmic Birth views women’s options for labor and birth and examines the risks and benefits.
Dr. Northrup describes the power felt by a woman who has experienced a natural birth:
When women understand what’s available to us at birth, then we won’t ever give that over to an expert” the birth power, the orgasmic power that’s in our bodies. When you meet a woman who has had an ecstatic birth, you can’t talk her into taking drugs that aren’t good for her body. You can’t talk her into a hysterectomy that she doesn’t need. You can’t talk her into a crummy diet. She’s come home to her body. She knows what this body is capable of. She loves this body. This body loves her. And there’s nothing like the transformation available at birth to nail that in there in such a way that she becomes illuminated, because she’s a channel for life. And then she becomes a channel for life in all its forms.
Join us as we watch the families in the film welcome their babies into the world and see what happens when mothers, babies, fathers, and families are left undisturbed to welcome their newborns into their arms. Worldwide research supports the fact that the best, safest care for healthy full-term newborns is in their mothers’ arms, skin to skin, breastfeeding, feeling safe and nurtured.
Carrie Contey, PhD, a leader in the field of prenatal and perinatal psychology, says:
What we’re finding is that it does matter—it absolutely does matter—how somebody comes into the world. And it doesn’t mean all babies should be born this way or that way. It just means that we have to pay attention and recognize that those babies are having experiences. And the way that birth happens when it’s left to happen naturally, without drugs and without forceps, is really what the baby’s body is expecting. There’s a biological readying that’s happening. So it’s incredibly important that we start thinking about this time period in a new way, and we start caring for moms and babies and families around the birth experience in much more thoughtful and mindful ways than we are doing right now.
Orgasmic Birth encourages viewers examine their perceptions about childbirth and to consider issues that are crucial to the health and well-being of future generations.
The way a woman gives birth has the potential to change how she feels about herself forever.
The way she feels has consequences for how she mothers and cares for her baby. It has consequences for her other relationships and for society.
All babies deserve to be welcomed into their mothers’ arms with love
solarmind said:I can say that my experience with Cesarean section, as my 3rd birth, was afterwards more painfull and less comfortable than my 2 previous drugfree natural births. I was expecting that it will be much easier, but it is not. It took me much longer to recover, and I can still feel from time to time the scarf. Now from my experience I will recommend to any women to go for natural drugfree birth, as from my experience I think it makes stronger bound with the kid, and more natural recovery of the body.
solarmind said:Obviously we can see from others, that each person have quite opposite experiences ... :) ... I enjoyed pregnancies very much indeed, while I know many who had terrible time with sickens and all other physical probelms.

Usually women say it hurts like hell, but my mother said that it was more like if you tie a rope to a truck and try to drag it uphill, than normal pain.
Once I talked to a woman that had been really surprised because it didn't hurt more than having her period.
I have a sister who is a midwife, and she uses hypnosis with really good results (the most difficult births were always given to her by the hospital) She once told me about a couple were sent her way after the wife had been in terrible pain for 2 days, and my sister explained to her exactly what muscle she had to relax instead of tensing, (tensing that muscle made it hard for the baby to get out and hurt like hell) and also used her hypnosis, and the pain stopped and the baby came, and the husband were furious with the hospital for not having told them that from the start, but it is a technique my sister has invented so nobody else knows about it (it was too weird for the hospital to want to know about)

My mom gave birth to me under hypnosis 59 years ago. She said she felt no pain and there were no complications. It's really not a newly discovered technique. My mom also had surgeries while being under hypnosis, with no anesthesia, also many years ago in the USA.
