Woman Delivers Her Own Baby In Flat 60 Seconds

Women are super humans. Period.

The sheer amount of roles she plays in a day, the resilience she displays in the face of adversity, the strength she provides to another when they can’t find their own, the unconditional love she bestows on everyone – even if they are not a part of her inner circle – and most importantly, the way she channels her intelligence to create an optimal life for herself and her people are no mean feats.

Rapper Shaggy was on point when he dedicated an entire song to the strength of a woman. And he’s not alone, many others have serenaded women as they ought to be!

And then there are our mothers! Whether she is having a child of her own, adopting one to raise as her own, or guiding someone as their maternal influence, mothers surely are the crème de la crème among us, super humans.

Having a baby is a personality-altering experience, in the best way! Mothers seem to instinctively find an extra reservoir of strength, love, and intelligence as soon as they realize they are bringing forth a new life.

To carry a being within you for the nine-month gestation period, eat well so that both of you are nourished, create the physical and emotional security of life for the little one, and to raise the kid with the utmost devotion is something only you can accomplish. Yes, you wonder-woman you!

The rapid evolution of technology has not only made birthing processes safer and simpler, but also more enjoyable. Most parents now choose to photograph or record a video of their babies being born. The precious moments of birthing and the first few minutes of the baby are now a physical memory that parents and their children can relive endless times.

And now there are even customized birthing plans to choose from. How you welcome your baby into the world is now your choice. You could welcome the baby in a hospital through a vaginal or c-section, you could have a water birth at home, you can have your doula and midwife with you to deliver the baby yourself at home. So you no longer have to pack the traditional suitcase, you could have all the paraphernalia you need right next to you on that coffee table you bought at the antique store. Call it customized motherhood magic if you will.

Paediatrician Katie Doherty chose to welcome baby Violet in the comforts of her own home through water birth. And that’s not all – Mama Doherty chose to deliver Violet herself! If that ain’t motherhood magic, we don’t know what is.

She even had the entire process captured on video, although she says that she wasn’t sure that she wanted a video initially. Although this was her third pregnancy, and second home birth, Doherty discovered that practice doesn’t mean joyride when it comes to births. Although her midwife had been with her the night before, after many false alarms of labor, Ms. Doherty chose to send the midwife home.

Overnight though, after squats and herbal cocktails, Doherty realized that baby Violet was ready to make her appearance. Thankfully, the videographer Vanessa Brown and the midwife made it back in time. Et voila – we have a video of Katie tenderly delivering Violet into the world!

Naturally, Katie has said that she will cherish the video throughout her life. She says that the video is an example of what a woman’s body can do, and hopes that one day her daughter will watch it and learn respect for their bodies.

If a sister is willing to teach us, we are willing to learn! Watch baby Violet make her debut as a prep course for your own deliveries.
