The Birthing Sense DVD set is a 3 part series which is a great option for pregnant couples to use in addition to hospital ante-natal classes - or as a complete alternative. The full footage shown in Part 2 of the series culminates in the live birth video of Lisa's 4th child by natural vaginal birth.

The footage of Lisa's labour and vaginal birth is in a hospital setting and is preceded with full details of Lisa's carefully put together birth plan.

In this snippet and the full length version on the DVD you won't see any complications. Or for that matter any of the more challenging issues that can happen in child birth you have no doubt heard about. This is a beautiful, natural and uncomplicated vaginal birth.

You've now seen one of our vaginal birth video clips, but what is the definition of a live birth? The World Health Organisation defined it in 1950 as:

A live birth occurs when a fetus, whatever its gestational age, exits the maternal body and subsequently shows any sign of life, such as voluntary movement, heartbeat, or pulsation of the umbilical cord, for however brief a time and regardless of whether the umbilical cord or placenta are intact.

This definition holds whether the birth is vaginal or by Caesarean section.

Interesting Fact:

The World Health Organisation quotes that approximately 85% of women are able to have a vaginal birth. Australia's national average of caesarean section in 2004 was 30.2% of mothers giving birth in hospitals (Australian College Midwives, December 2006.)
