Twin Home Water Birth Video, Born at 40+ weeks and 1 1/2 Hours Apart

November 4, 2011

I shared this video months ago on Facebook. It’s an incredible birth video shared by Sarah with Geneabirth of a natural twin birth. It was her fourth birth of her fourth and fifth child/ren. They were a planned home waterbirth. They were 40 weeks and 3 days in gestation. She was surrounded by three midwives, her husband, three daughters, and other friends and family. It’s an amazing and wonderful birth to watch. The twins are born one and a half hours apart.

At the end you will also see the birth of the placentas, which are fused. The photos are separate…but it is worth it to watch them immediately after the video.

Sarah emailed me recently and shared the following…

“Thank you for posting my twin homebirth video on your facebook page months ago. Because you did this, it has been viewed 140,000 times (*now over 700,000*), passed to other sites and it is truly opening eyes!! I have had women contact me via youtube about switching to homebirth with twins and starting to question their care providers on what their options are.”

It means a lot to me to get feedback like this. To know how far BWF is reaching in informing and supporting women in birthing choices!

Here are the pictures as well. Another 3 1/2 minutes of greatness. Enjoy and share!

    Thank you Sarah and family and “Birth Without Fear” for sharing this lovely, beautiful birth without fear or stress, with all of us. The gentle support and love of your family, midwife and friends was heart opening and I had a sweet lump in my throat from being able to be a part of this joyous occasion. I too had a home birth in 1979. I was quite unique in my area to do such a thing and I am so happy to see how much more opportunity and support there is available now for home births.
    Much love and blessings to all. Love, Rosie

    Beautiful. But I always wonder why midwives are interfering that much when baby arrives. They are the first to catch baby, touching it, moving it. Please stay away and leave mom and baby alone. She can do this! She knows how to hold her baby, she does not need you to replace it and stuff like that. Do not interfere in that moment of deep love. Please.

    best twin birth video I’ve seen since “Psalm & Zoya”! I attended a great twin birth last year, but they were Amish, so no pics to pass on. 🙁 1st one was frank breech & 2nd one 2 hrs later was footling breech, but came heels, not toes 1st! Both born completely hands off!

    I love how she said she didn’t even feel like she had just given birth after the first baby made his debut. You can totally feel the love coming through the monitor when watching. So beautiful. The babies are so calm and relaxed. I hope to have this in March 2012. 🙂 xo

    Thank you for sharing this video again! What an amazing mama and I loved seeing everyone so supportive around her. She seems like a very knowledgeable mama and I’m glad videos like this are out there for others to see!
