I had my last baby 43 years ago. We never thought much of water births then as it was all a "medical treatment" in a hospital with a doctor and nurses. But how POWERFUL this is! How wonderful that the mother can bond instantly, that it doesn't have to be a "procedure," and that this woman could sit up and be natural instead of flat on her back with her feet in stirrups. Thank you for helping to point the way with this truly marvelous story.

This is amazing!!!

This is awesome! Congratulations on the girl! I don't think a lot of people realize what babies really look like right after they are born.

amazing! but i got to say, she did prepared for this. i can tell because of makeup and manicure ;)

women are frickin' amazing

Both of my births were the worse experiences of my entire life; the second even worse than the first. If the pain wasn't bad enough (& it was excruciating as they were both lying with their backs against all the nerves in my spine) the treatment I had at the hands of some of the staff was diabolical. My needs were not considered at all & my husband was treated better than I was! When it was my daughter's turn to give birth I couldn't get over the difference between her first experience & mine. Epidural, privacy, cosy & non threatening room & a kind midwife. I had none of that. This is how it should be done.

This is beautiful and the pictures were very tastefully done.

How wonderful!

Breathtaking and giving birth is such a beautiful wonder of the world!

Am i only one who cried? I have 2 babies but this topic never cease to amaze me. I always cry looking birth pics.

Awesome work

amazing, man. Totally amazing

Everyone here is so bothered. How can even some of you talk about "babies spending more time in hospitals"? As long as the mother is happy with a healthy child and the child does just fine, i think none of us has any business here except just liking the post or not liking it.

I Think the baby should be dried off and wrapped in a blanky after it is born. It looks like it would be cold. Baby's hair is still soaking wet when she is breast feeding. I was in labour for 36 hours; think my butt would get pretty sore sitting in a hard tub for that long. Not for me, however, I didn't like the way my baby was whisked away to the nursery as soon as it was born. I think it should be left with the mother to bond.

Well done! Congratulations!

Wow.... she made it look so calm and peaceful... very beautiful.

made me cry!

Women are amazing
