YES ITS WONDERFUL

[@laikanbarth]

What a lovely documentary. Thank you for sharing it with us. Those ladies all seem so connected to each other. I don’t think we as women have that kind of closeness anymore. With life being so busy and the internet. I enjoyed seeing how those women depended on and helped each other.

[@HosCreates]

My midwife for my second birth was a caring wonderful person who had also delivered babies in the Amish Community, I'm sure having her ther made my delivery faster and I healed better then my first thanks to her care. Blessings to these wonderful and caring midwives !

[@staceypankratz5032]

This was an absolutely brilliant docu!! The way each woman told their story was incredible and so relatable in the love and care they show.

[@kaywaters7]

These women are very strong, resilient heroic beautiful souls! Here in the states most of us will never know what these women actually go through! You don’t have to feel the pain due to easy access right at your fingertips! God bless each and every one of you! I pray that God will watch over these women who help and sacrifice so much of their life to help others!

Omg this brought tears to my eyes because My late Grandmother used to deliver babies, even knew if the baby will be a girl or boy when she gave the mother a massage😢Women back where I come from, always look for my Grandmother when comes to pregnant or delivering babies.

I love this documentary. I’m an old nurse & always wanted to deliver babies. But I moved too much & didn’t get the chance. But I’ve read many stories of midwives all over the world. And the program “Call the midwife” about the women right after WW2 in a poor section of England. It’s so sweet but very real.

Incredible, strong women! The midwives are so hardworking and nurturing. Would have liked more practical info regarding how they make do; how they prevent infection, do the woman tear? If so are they sutured? It’s a shame they don’t have some basics which could make things easier for the midwife. A rolling pull cart with her supplies. There has to be a charity that could supply the items.

[@OrganicAlumination]

Ooh how wonderful!!! The indigenous folklore is what has always enticed me even as a child I used to want to be a midwife I don't know what happened for me to say I can't???? Hmmm

[@tarashelton493]

The Lord made us women strong! The birthing process will naturally happen even if nobody is with the mother. I find Gods creation amazing and how anyone could say there is no God. He’s perfected everything we see, especially those sweet newborns! As a woman myself I have gave birth twice and each baby is different. That lady that delivered these babies knows what she’s doing, I would trust her.

[@dinarusso3320]

Unfortunately, something can go wrong. That's why back in the day, more women died in childbirth.

[@smokyquartz5817]

Why does everything come back to someone saying there was no God...what...?

[@pinwheelart2825]

How you can see birth or give brith and still call "God" he is amazing. Clearly, if there was such an entity, it would be a SHE.

[@pinwheelart2825]

​@dinarusso3320 actually birth works more often than not. When male docs took over mortality rates went up for the simple fact they were not washing their hand between working with corpses and birthing women. It is a convenient lie the medical industry and its propaganda machine has done a great job spreading for a little over 100 years now. Believe it or not, millenia of evolution does these things better than men.

[@juliebarry5375]

ALL EXCELLENT....MASSAGE IS KEY IN ALL OF THE PROCESS...IT REALLY RELIEVES THE MOTHER AND CHILD

[@jennjeffs4893]

Attending a birth is such and honor! I've been able to attend 14 so far! 5, I was labor coach and 2, I helped deliver. The other I just watched and WOW! she's a blessing for those women. It's scary to give birth, I'm sure they feel much better having her there for support & delivery.

Congratulations on your pregnancy ❤️ having a baby at home is legal. If you are very worried about the stigma you can always say that you accidentally had the baby at home and it happened really fast. Would you like to email me about it? There is also a KZbin channel called “Legacy births” where she lays out exactly how to have an unassisted birth and features homebirth videos for inspiration. It is so wonderful to give birth and already be in your bed! I have a lot of information on the birth process and materials and preparation of you need anything please let me know. Also I have info on how to file for their birth certificates and ss cards. Best of luck sweet heart and no matter how your child gets to you it will be beautiful, all births are beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

[@Winniedemux]

Some of you in these comments have such colonized mindsets. These women are built completely different, they haven't been infested with poisonous food, air and birth control and have an ancestral connection to their land and all of it conditions. Nothing is wrong with way they're living, meanwhile in America the birth mortality rate is as high as it's ever been due to not preparing the body for pregnancy and disregard during childbirth.🗿

[@pinwheelart2825]

Women everywhere can birth their babies. Even most American women believe it or not. Many die from not having women to women care, being ignored by doctors and other hospital staff when something has gone wrong, usually something the medical industry/doctor has caused. People are very misinformed about what birth is and how to support it. The facts are that community midwifery care with continuity of care to the hospital, in the rare occasion needed, is the best care. 💖✊🏽♀️

[@dinarusso3320]

I agree. They deserve a choice of whether or not they want to get pregnant!

[@delavan9141]

There is a strong theme of magical pregnancy, then at about 12:00 the narrator perpetuates the magical conception theme by speaking matter-of-factly of "very young girls" with babies and that "the births come one after another."

[@MA-mh1vs]

No she is speaking the truth, girls are very young when married and so are pregnant when very young. You can expect that many are only 13 or 14 when they have their first child. There is no birth control so they will be pregnant just months after giving birth, so the children are born one after the other.

Although I admire the midwife's skills, there are a lot of things that could go wrong in childbirth. postpartum hemorrhage is one of the most common causes of maternal mortality worldwide, especially in areas lacking hospital care.

[@ninaorozco2869]

Yes, that is why I go to the hospital to deliver. I love this natural life but if i hadn't been at a hospital my first born might have died due to needing oxygen right away. My husband is from rural Mexico and their lives were very similar to these people. His mother did die after childbirth due to hemorrhaging. She had 12 in all. Had there been access to a hospital she may have made it through.

[@anovemberstar]

And in a perfect world all women woyld have rhe tesourc4s to be able to access hospital care if needed. They said at the start of the doco, rhe hospital is a Ling way away and most can't afford to go anyway - they birth at home because of this.
