Ok everybody, this is a must see if you have never seen a live birth under water. It is kinda graphic, it shows everything, but it is very beautiful. Let me know how ya liked it.
This was an older couple. The wife was about 55 and the husband was about 52.
They decided on a water birth. Think about this. The unborn child is used to a warm environment. It's used to being surrounded by fluid. It's got fluid in its' lungs.
How cold can a operation room be?
The transition from the womb and into warm water is much better I think. There's temperature change but it's not so much of a shock.
Think about it. You are in a warm environment and suddenly you are being thrust out and are terribly cold.
Aa long as the mother has no complication and is healthy I see no problem with this type of birthing.
It's a very initmate thing.
I don't understand why this topis was placed under Jokes, Games & Humour.

Childbirth can be a strenuous, and possibly disturbing, experience for the baby. Properly heated water helps to ease the transition from the birth canal to the outside world because the warm liquid resembles the familiar intra-uterine environment, and softens light, colors and noises.
"Why doesn't the baby drown?"
From a mother who used water birth five times.
“To me this was the obvious concern; after all, anybody who doesn't consciously hold his or her breath underwater is in fear of drowning. The answer is so logical and so simple. A baby doesn't drown during a water birth because the baby is already in water in the womb. It takes air for breath and when a baby comes from water into water without the introduction of air, the lungs remain collapsed and no water can enter. Once the baby is brought to the surface and its face hits the air, breath is drawn and life on earth begins. Knowing these facts, it is clear that water birth is a safe way for a baby to be born.”
Water birth allows the woman to be comfortable. She’s carrying a lot of weight and the water helps for floating. The water is warm and it eases muscles. The birthing process is much more relaxed.
They do this stuff at home and it is offered in hospitals.
I have looked at the official site for water birthing and I have looked at pictures where couples have taken photos of this very personal and intimate experience.
If I had even be so privileged I would have chosen waterbirth.
As I said, in my write the couple was an older one. This bady was born out of wedlock.
Two couples were visiting.
The ladies were in the living room when the water broke wit one of them.
The guys were in the middle drinking beer, cooking steaks, and discusssing Robert Penn Warren.
There was a scream from the living room. Beer bottles flew. The steaks burned to a chrisp on the gas grill.
The bath tub was filled. There was a mad scramble for towels. The bathroom closet was opened in haste and a cat had to be removed.
Oh, this from a write called "Letters".
The older couple had met in a Krogers grocery store. The woman had gone for some items and a man was wandering among the fruit. My story really wove. The lady was divorced. Se had three grown children. Now one of her kids was adopted. Her ex-was pretty bad. He and this new gentleman had an altercation when a trash can was being picked up.
The ex-hubby wouldn't let go.
He trailed this guy. The adopted son was picked up at an airport. The rental Jeep was followed through streets. A battered truck pulled along side of it and a gunshot rang in the air.
There was a close resemblance noticed by a police officer between the victim and the adopted son who had come from Nova Scotia.
A blood test was done. The victim was really the adopted son's natural father. He'd had an affaire that had broken his heart and he didn't know that the girl was pregnant. She just left him for a richer man and had never told him. End of story there.
Look, this stuff happens in real life. There was some executive that worked for a major company in like TV. He worked alongside his own son for three years not knowing who he was.
His former lover contacted him because the kid wanted to know who his father was. She told him the guy's name.
The kid had no clue that he had been working with his own father for three years. They worked for the same company.
