Disbelief, shock, hostility and superstition confronted the wife of one of the filmmakers when she decided to give birth without pain medication using the Lamaze method of childbirth. Her tale is about trusting oneself and accepting responsibility even when it means rejecting popular beliefs and establishment authority.
"Informed with love and filmed with skillâöIt vividly captures the suspense, humor, agony, tenderness and wonder of a human birth." âÃî Richard Christiansen, Chicago Daily News "A luminous, joyous human document." âÃî Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:39.999
The most important thing
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:44.999
about me
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:49.999
and for me right now is that I’m going
to have a baby in about eight weeks.
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:54.999
It’s my first child and I’m
very, very happy about it.
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:59.999
It’s tremendously important to me. The
trouble is that I want to have the baby
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:04.999
in a particular way. I
want to have the baby
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:09.999
with my husband’s help.
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:14.999
That is through the labor, I want
my husband to be coaching me.
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:19.999
And I want him there when I deliver.
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:24.999
And he wants… he wants to do this thing.
And I don’t want any anesthetic.
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:29.999
I don’t want any kind of drugs to
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:34.999
modify my consciousness or my sensation.
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:43.000
[sil.]
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:04.999
Contraction is over. Less than 30 seconds.
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:09.999
I did it in 30 seconds? Hmm…Umm… Okay.
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:14.999
I just don’t see why
giving birth shouldn’t be
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:19.999
something that could be carried out
by two adult human beings together,
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:24.999
I mean, parents of the
child with a minimum of…
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:29.999
of medical intervention.
Contraction beginning.
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:34.999
Breathe. Once more.
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:39.999
Deep one this time.
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:44.999
Push. Push, push. Elbows up.
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:49.999
Relax the floor. Relax the floor.
Push, push, push.
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:54.999
That’s good. Push, push. Relax your floor.
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:59.999
Fine. Push. Don’t push. Pant.
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:04.999
Pant blow.
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:13.000
[sil.]
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:23.000
Contraction is over.
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:29.999
Also I don’t see why it should be
painful, a strain, a lot of work.
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:34.999
It’s much better for the baby if it
has… if the mother hasn’t been grunt.
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:39.999
The respiration is better. It’s general…
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:44.999
general physical condition is better.
Also it’s better for the mother
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:49.999
at least in the sense of aftereffects.
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:54.999
One can… Well, I’ve heard of women who
had babies going through Lamaze method,
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:59.999
haven’t had anesthetic. They can urinate
on their own after they’ve had their baby.
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:04.999
They’re not paralyzed or to be
catheterized for a day or so afterwards.
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:09.999
They’re generally more comfortable. They
can often walk out of the delivery room
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:14.999
although they’re very tired and need rest. They’re
not… They’re not traumatized in the way that women
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:19.999
are when they had to have anesthetic
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:24.999
and intervention at different times.
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:33.000
[sil.]
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:39.999
50 seconds.
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:48.000
[sil.]
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:54.999
Contraction is over.
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:59.999
Your shoulders were a little tense. Here?
Yeah. Right by the neck. (inaudible), yeah.
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.999
Umm…hmm… You were tense and the
contraction-relaxation (inaudible). Up here?
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:09.999
Up there. Hmm… Probably
because it’s so cold.
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:14.999
May be. (inaudible) is a monster.
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:19.999
We got the movie. It really makes
sense to me. It really sounds good
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:24.999
to have my husband be with me,
and be knowledgeable participant
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:29.999
in the birth of our child.
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:34.999
And by training according to this
method, he learns as much as I do.
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:39.999
And… And really it has a
great deal of control
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:44.999
over the conduct of my labor. And it really
can help me to maintain control over myself
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:49.999
and attend to the business that will help
to get to the baby born easily as possible.
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:54.999
Left leg. Contract. Relax.
00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:59.999
Right leg.
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:04.999
Contract. Seems bit of stiff. Stiff?
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:09.999
Umm… I got confused. Right leg.
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:14.999
Contract. Relax.
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:19.999
Right arm and right leg.
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:24.999
Contract. Relax.
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:29.999
Left arm and left leg. Contract.
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:34.999
Relax. At this time, it’s
impossible in Chicago
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:39.999
to have what I want. As far as I know, the hospital
regulation is supposed to be being changed
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:44.999
but that will permit fathers in the delivery room, but
still the details of that haven’t been worked out.
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:49.999
And my husband and I are trying
to go to Kenosha, Wisconsin,
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:54.999
which is about an hour-and-a-half’s
drive from here and…
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:59.999
and talk to the medical staff
in the… the hospital there.
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:04.999
Friends of ours just had a baby there according
to this method and it was very successful.
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:09.999
Most of the stories about birth
that you hear, that women hear,
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:14.999
are stories about failures,
like… The baby’s… (inaudible).
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:19.999
He’s fine. Ah… This book,
Awake and Aware by Chabon,
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:24.999
makes the statement that it’s only 5%
of births that have complications.
00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:29.999
But it’s those 5% that get… It’s the
stories of those 5% that get repeated
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:34.999
to young girls over and over again. Nobody ever
bothers to tell anybody about the nice experience.
00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:39.999
I mean, I told a friend of mine after it
happened, it was a wonderful experience,
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:44.999
and I felt no pain, and Richard and I had a grand
time together. And she said, \"Oh you dreamer!\"
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:49.999
Yeah, this is a (inaudible). And I said, \"Well, why would I
lie to you?\" Yeah. \"This is a week after the baby was born.
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:54.999
Why would I lie to you that I felt no pain?\" The baby was
born on Monday. Toni left the hospital on Wednesday.
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:59.999
And Thursday, we went to a (inaudible) sale out in Oak Park. With the
baby? Yeah, with the baby. She’ll never miss a (inaudible) sale,
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:04.999
you know, under any circumstances. (inaudible).
Yeah, right, that’s true. So we get out there
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:09.999
and there’s all ladies, you know, \"Three-day-old baby, what she’s
doing up and around? God, damn it, I was in bed for 14 weeks!\"
00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:14.999
You know, and I said, \"No, you know, it’s
possible to have a baby without any pain.
00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:19.999
You get up and… and walk off the delivery table.\"
You know, and I pulled out the picture of Toni
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:24.999
and I standing by the delivery table. \"Oh, it’s
rigged!\" You know. Here comes the time when
00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:29.999
the wife and husband have
to put the complete faith
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:34.999
in their doctor. There is a
time I feel it is all things,
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:39.999
husband, father,
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:44.999
all things. I myself feel like
I have two lives in my hands.
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:49.999
Man, this is 1967, the complications
aren’t what they were
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:54.999
ten years ago. But with improved
subjective care we have
00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:59.999
reduced the maternal
mortality, fetal mortality.
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:04.999
And I just sort of feel that there is that
much to be gained. The one doctor we went to
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:09.999
at first said he would it. That he
was in favor of the Lamaze method.
00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:14.999
And then we asked him if I
could be in the delivery room.
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:19.999
And he said, \"Well, you
don’t wanna be there?\"
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:24.999
You know. \"It’s no fun.\" And I said, \"Well, you know, I wanna be there. It’s part of the Lamaze
method.\" And you know… The average woman likes to be modest even in front of her husband.
00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:29.999
I have had four daughters born.
00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:34.999
I was present only as far
as I accompanied my wife
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:39.999
into the delivery room. It is not that I was afraid
of what was going to happen. I had complete trust
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:44.999
in the obstetrician who is caring for her.
But still there’s this violation of modesty
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:49.999
when a woman is giving birth to a child.
The natural pressure of the head
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:54.999
or the presenting part, as
it descends into the pelvis,
00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:59.999
forces urine out of the bladder. If there are any
feces in the rectum that have not been removed by
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:04.999
previous cleansing methods, these
are spilling over the perineum.
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:09.999
And in some women, this is not too an attractive sight
which they would like their husband to witness,
00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:14.999
somebody who they… whose
feelings they cherish highly.
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:19.999
They just don’t want anybody else to see
them at it, you know, I mean, they avoid us.
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:24.999
And they’re little embarrassed, you know. I told
the obstetrician that I’ve been seeing in Chicago
00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:29.999
after I had the baby and told him that I had it,
and how I had it, and what happened. And he said,
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:34.999
\"Oh, that’s like hypnotism!\" And I said,
\"No, it’s really not like hypnotism at all.\"
00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:39.999
And he said, \"Oh well, it’s just a word. It’s… They… They
just call it, and it’s just the word I know, I understand.\"
00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:44.999
And I could tell that obviously he didn’t
understand. (inaudible) needle behind his back.
00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:49.999
Like the nice kindly grandfather, who
was gonna help the patient repress
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:54.999
any kind of fear she had about childbirth rather
than go through an educator about the birth process,
00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:59.999
you know, and helped her to take some active
part in it. He would just kind of, you know,
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:04.999
soothe her and say, everything is gonna be alright, and treat
her like a nice granddaughter. And then when the time came
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:09.999
anesthetize her and… and drag the baby out.
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:14.999
And afterwards she’ll wake up and everything would
be fine as far as she was concerned at any time.
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:19.999
Conman leading someone down an alley, it’s like that. Yeah, exactly. I’m
sure, that’s right. Oh no, I know don’t and they turn on your bonkers.
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:24.999
I have seen husbands become
excited in the labor section,
00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:29.999
because their wives were experiencing pain. Even though
that we institute procedures to alleviate the pain
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:34.999
such as paracervical walk during
the first stage of labor,
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:39.999
which occurs in the labor room, we
institute procedures of alleviating pain
00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:44.999
also by giving them injections
of barbiturates or narcotics
00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:49.999
to lessen the conscious perception of pain.
But sometimes even that isn’t enough
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:54.999
if you get a husband occasionally,
somebody misbehaves and perhaps
00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:59.999
to relive his feeling, he indulges
in alcoholic beverages in occasion.
00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:04.999
Even in the hospital, it might be necessary
to have the police or the security
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:09.999
people of the hospital and remove
a father from the labor section.
00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:14.999
Not that there is any traumatic procedures
instituted in the care of his wife, but supposedly
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:19.999
the woman is hemorrhaging, it is
necessary to institute packing
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:24.999
or it is necessary to introduce
the examiner’s hand into
00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:29.999
the uterus to remove remain products
of conception. He might take offence
00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:34.999
at such action and even become attack
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:39.999
someone of the personnel in the operating
room. I think that as a physician,
00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:44.999
my interest in natural childbirth, well,
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:49.999
it came to me as a father before I
was interested in it as a physician.
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:54.999
But I… I think
00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:59.999
that properly understood, it’s the
easiest and safest method of childbirth.
00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:04.999
This appeals to me. My wife’s
deliveries, four deliveries,
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:09.999
were the first experience that I really had with
natural childbirth. And I’m also a physician,
00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:14.999
and I was unprepared. I’ve never seen a spontaneous
delivery. There are many obstetricians
00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:19.999
who’ve never seen a spontaneous delivery except by
accident. And I think highly of doctors as a group,
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:24.999
but we do certainly
00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:29.999
have our limitations. And for one thing,
00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:34.999
when we speak of treatment to the doctor of
the 1960s, he immediately mentally translates
00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:39.999
this to mean medications or drugs.
The obstetrician, I’m afraid,
00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:44.999
generally thinks of himself as the
central figure in the delivery room,
00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:49.999
the commander of the ship, the Walter
Mitty, you know, that sort of thing.
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:54.999
And for him to be demoted
00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:59.999
to a baby catcher, with the woman
00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:04.999
being the central figure, this
is more than many can take.
00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:09.999
And believe me, they get… we
get, I must include myself here,
00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:14.999
we get an endless amount of
adulation from the patient.
00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:19.999
And this is very easy to take.
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:24.999
Being passive gets drilled into
people who go the American hospitals,
00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:29.999
because it’s a lot easier to deal with passive
people if you’re in a hospital. I mean this is,
00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:34.999
I think, what your argument is in a way, that
it’s much easier for the medical profession.
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:39.999
If you come into a hospital and you’re completely
passive, you know, you laid a limb on the stretcher,
00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:44.999
they can do something with you. And it’s a shame, because it need
not be that way. I don’t know whose job it is to educate people
00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:49.999
who are ignorant. I think large part
of the responsibility has to go on
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:54.999
the shoulders of the people themselves, you know. I
mean, they… like a movie, you can show them in a movie,
00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:59.999
but then what? Umm…hmm… You know. It’s like in the movie
you’re not gonna go through the six lessons of childbirth,
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:04.999
you know, refer him to the sources,
tell him to read Bing’s book,
00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:09.999
or read Lamaze’s book, or read (inaudible)
book, or read Bradley’s book, you know,
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:14.999
or… or write to us, or write to you or something,
you know. But people have to be active,
00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:19.999
that’s all are part of it too. Take some initiative at some point. It’s
like… That’s the whole thing, no longer being passive in the birth process.
00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:24.999
What you’re going to do now? I don’t know.
I’d like… Well,
00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:29.999
we’re going to go to Kenosha and see about
them. Umm… I think what I like is to have,
00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:34.999
I’d like to see Greg and have him examine
me and talk to him about what he things
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:39.999
could be done in Chicago. In the Public
Health Office here in Chicago, I understand
00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:44.999
from the newspaper has said that in
Chicago, fathers, germy old fathers
00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:49.999
would cause all sorts of infections, will
not be admitted to the delivery rooms.
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:54.999
Oh! So, that’s across the board in Chicago. The
hospitals don’t have a choice in Chicago now.
00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:59.999
No, no, no. Well, (inaudible) but apparently not.
You went to see this doctor in Chicago, when?
00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:04.999
Well… Well, I started seeing him immediately after the
last time I saw you. Before that I was seeing Dr. Lash.
00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:09.999
And I decided I didn’t wanna
continue even for a prenatal care.
00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:14.999
So, Dr. Gregory White, he understands
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:19.999
that we’re coming here and so on. And,
you know, I’m probably seeing him
00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:24.999
after the baby was born in Chicago… Okay. …for that
postnatal check. Good, good. That’s fine. Did he weigh you?
00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:29.999
Yes, he weighed me last week.
Was there any gain?
00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:34.999
I’ve gained about 27 pounds since I became
pregnant. He examined to check your urine?
00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:39.999
Yes. Did you bring me or any (inaudible)? I did bring and the
nurse took it. Good, that’s fine. And so you should have them.
00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:44.999
You feel okay? No (inaudible).
No headaches?
00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:49.999
No nausea or vomiting? Any backache?
00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:54.999
Just slightly, very slightly. Did you
notice that your tummy is going down?
00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:59.999
Ah…hah… And you feel something here.
Press that hard.
00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:04.999
Huh. That side. That side. Oh yeah. Oh, it’s really
hard. Do you feel it really? It’s hard, yeah. Sure.
00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:09.999
I was afraid to push too hard that’s all. In the
nine months of pregnancy, on the first baby,
00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:14.999
the head first gets to be fixed.
Nothing can move it.
00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:19.999
Then it goes lower. The boning structure
00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:24.999
of your pelvis surrounds the head. This
is when the head is engaged. I see, yeah.
00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:29.999
Umm…hmm… So it has… The engagement is this,
like people, they put engagement rings,
00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:34.999
why you got it, you know, they’re struck,
that’s it. That’s it, no going back.
00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:39.999
And this is, the part
that I am feeling now,
00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:44.999
is the bridge of the baby. I do feel these
extremities here, on your right side,
00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:49.999
which means that the baby’s back is on the left
side. And this is where I put my stethoscope
00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:54.999
to listen for your baby.
Through the back of our baby.
00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:59.999
Through the back is the easiest way.
I can hear your baby’s beat.
00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:04.999
(inaudible). Yes. So he can…
00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:09.999
[sil.]
00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:14.999
The baby’s heartbeat is about
close to that one of your wife.
00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:19.999
Yes. So, when… we almost
don’t make any mistakes.
00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:24.999
And my feelings… (inaudible). That’s right. Hmm…hmm…
If we do have any question mark in our minds,
00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:29.999
we do take the patient’s pulse in the same time. Yes, that’s
what I was going to say. So if there is any difference on
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:34.999
the amount of the beeps that we listen…
00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:39.999
we hear every minute. I cannot tell you
00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:44.999
if it is a boy or a girl though. No
way, yeah. Whatever it is, it’s yours.
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:49.999
Whatever it is, it’s what? It’s yours.
Yes. And you better take it. Yes.
00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:54.999
If you go into labor… Umm…hmm…
…okay, wait until the contractions,
00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:59.999
they are 10 minutes apart, they do less
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:04.999
about 30 seconds. Umm…hmm… And they
are regular for only one hour drive.
00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:13.000
[sil.]
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:19.999
I think it stopped.
00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:24.999
What the watch? Well, what’s going on?
00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:29.999
It sometimes sticks. (inaudible) movie?
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:34.999
Certainly. Let’s just come down later.
00:19:35.000 --> 00:19:39.999
Well, what’s (inaudible)?
00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:44.999
(inaudible) when you’re comfortable.
Oh boy! Well, it’s pretty slow.
00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:49.999
We’ll be through it when
it’s time for it to be over.
00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:54.999
6:15 or something, which is when
all the traffic will clear out.
00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:59.999
You’re trying to take an
optimistic view (inaudible).
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.999
[sil.]
00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:09.999
Right. In New York, they handle the lanes. It’s found
in the center of the street, like an ambulance lane
00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:14.999
that when you cars have to just pull away. I
mean, here, if it was serious, no one can move.
00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:19.999
[sil.]
00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:24.999
I think I need to start breathing.
You have the pillow? Yeah.
00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:29.999
Why don’t you relax. Ah…huh…
I don’t know what I want.
00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:34.999
Okay. You just to do deep… the
deep breathing. (inaudible).
00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:43.000
[sil.]
00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:04.999
I guess if we get on to (inaudible),
00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:09.999
it’ll clear up a little bit.
00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:18.000
[sil.]
00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:24.999
What’s the reading? Five minutes. Five minutes
between? Uh…huh… Well, it’s a nice regular,
00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:29.999
so that’s good. Are you
sure what we’re doing?
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:34.999
(inaudible). I mean, it’s
like they’re doing more.
00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:39.999
[sil.]
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:44.999
The down time.
00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:50.000
[sil.]
00:21:55.000 --> 00:22:03.000
[sil.]
00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:09.999
There you go.
00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:14.999
We still have about an hour.
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:23.000
[sil.]
00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:39.999
I don’t wanna hurt anyone. Huh? I don’t
wanna hurt anyone. (inaudible). Yeah.
00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:44.999
The physician (inaudible).
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:49.999
Something to assist me.
00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:54.999
I didn’t think this long. (inaudible).
00:22:55.000 --> 00:23:03.000
[sil.]
00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:44.999
Don’t worry about that. Put your coat on.
00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:49.999
Okay. Well, let’s go… better go right in.
Okay. Yeah. It was (inaudible)
00:23:50.000 --> 00:23:54.999
minute long (inaudible) pretty intense.
Okay, you wanna come up there.
00:23:55.000 --> 00:23:59.999
Okay. You wanna go there (inaudible)?
00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:04.999
Ah… Maybe I should settle her first.
00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:13.000
[sil.]
00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:29.999
There’s always the tough one and you won’t
see what the nature does. (inaudible).
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:34.999
That’s the… You are having
one contraction now.
00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:39.999
Did you time now how long
they’re lasting? Umm…hmm…
00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:44.999
Let it go. That’s a good contraction.
00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:49.999
That’s a good, good contraction. Yeah.
00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:54.999
35 seconds. Perfect.
00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:59.999
You see how you probably get like a (inaudible),
doesn’t it? It’s about to go now. It’s good.
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:04.999
(inaudible). It’s good. It’s the main thing that
you have the contraction you know it’s there.
00:25:05.000 --> 00:25:09.999
And if you don’t have a (inaudible),
just normal, that’s it. Yes, yes.
00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:14.999
It’s only for 35 seconds (inaudible) you might be a
little uncomfortable (inaudible) contraction. Yes.
00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:19.999
(inaudible) intense after
they… from the onset
00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:24.999
until they’re completely gone they’re
lasting a minute, even a minute and a half.
00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:29.999
And the intense part is… I needed to tell
you, if you start counting your contractions,
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:34.999
in how many contractions you have a day?
(inaudible).
00:25:35.000 --> 00:25:39.999
Oh here.
00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:44.999
I’m glad Sister Collette came here. This…
When I was in the (inaudible), sister,
00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:49.999
the first day my teacher
called me and he says,
00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:54.999
your duty will be, you will write a thesis
in how contractions a woman has a baby?
00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:59.999
(inaudible) count. Is it…
No, I won’t find a woman,
00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:04.999
a lady like her (inaudible) at least her first 25
(inaudible). Now, there is nothing I’m going to do,
00:26:05.000 --> 00:26:09.999
you know, better than I do. And Sister
Collette… (inaudible). Yeah. (inaudible).
00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:14.999
Well, I think I gotta a feeling of that.
00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:19.999
Yeah. And Sister Collette,
she’s better than I am anyway.
00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:24.999
That’s kind, thank you. Don’t worry about it. She called me you
will come down, we’ll have a baby, that’s it. (inaudible).
00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:29.999
Well, about that. Okay. Yeah, plus one.
That’s it.
00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:34.999
That’s it what I’ve told him,
then he was here next year again.
00:26:35.000 --> 00:26:43.000
[sil.]
00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:49.999
15 seconds.
00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:58.000
[sil.]
00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:04.999
30 seconds.
00:27:05.000 --> 00:27:13.000
[sil.]
00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:19.999
45 seconds.
00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:28.000
[sil.]
00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:34.999
One minute.
00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:39.999
[sil.]
00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:44.999
I’m sober.
00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:49.999
One minute, 15 seconds. That’s a nice one.
00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:54.999
I really come on fast till the intense.
00:27:55.000 --> 00:28:03.000
[sil.]
00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:09.999
It’s not… It’s like the sciatic pain.
00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:14.999
I just don’t understand why (inaudible).
(inaudible) seems to me (inaudible)
00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:19.999
that you’re doing well. I
realize the pain is crucial,
00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:24.999
but the challenge like… You know it really seems like…
Umm…hmm… It doesn’t… It’s known as fact (inaudible) should be.
00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:29.999
And that’s what worries me.
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:34.999
I would like to go out and find out what’s happening
with that or wait till this next contraction
00:28:35.000 --> 00:28:39.999
is over and you go, okay. (inaudible).
It’s five minutes.
00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:44.999
I want you to (inaudible).
00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:49.999
[sil.]
00:28:50.000 --> 00:28:54.999
There are instances, many of them, where
you stay low and all of a sudden you up.
00:28:55.000 --> 00:28:59.999
In just one or two contractions, you go practically the
whole way. It’s not gonna be like you probably, regularly,
00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:04.999
gradually begin to increase. And
I was just talking to this nurse
00:29:05.000 --> 00:29:09.999
and she thinks because the…
00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:14.999
she’s to go way in and feel the dilation, which…
that plus the symptoms I’m having are so irregular,
00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:19.999
slightly irregular and very wrong and the
pain in between contraction suggested
00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:24.999
the posterior position. Now just yesterday,
00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:29.999
the baby’s head, you know,
the occipital was in front
00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:34.999
where it should be. Umm…hmm… But it
may have twisted around. Excuse me.
00:29:35.000 --> 00:29:43.000
[sil.]
00:29:50.000 --> 00:29:54.999
15 seconds.

[sil.]
00:30:05.000 --> 00:30:09.999
30 seconds.
00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:14.999
One minute.
00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:19.999
[sil.]
00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:24.999
It still feels tight.
00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:29.999
Yeah. I was standing up… Well at first they
were… The first ones were lasting 80 seconds.
00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:34.999
Yeah. You know. And, I don’t know. And
that may have thrown me somewhat but…
00:30:35.000 --> 00:30:39.999
You look by presenting well (inaudible) breathe. The breathing,
I feel like I’m doing what I’m supposed to be doing,
00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:44.999
but it doesn’t master it. Did you
try hanging your belly down?
00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:49.999
Yeah, I tried. I’ve tried standing, sitting.
(inaudible). The sitting is uncomfortable.
00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:54.999
Is it pain like something inside that’s
pressing out or is it a muscle cramp?
00:30:55.000 --> 00:30:59.999
It’s a muscle cramp, yeah. If somebody had a fist on your
hip, fist on your (inaudible) so that there’ll be pressure
00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:04.999
from the outside. Does that
make you less or (inaudible)?
00:31:05.000 --> 00:31:13.000
[sil.]
00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:29.999

00:31:35.000 --> 00:31:39.999
I can’t (inaudible).

00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:49.999
(inaudible).
00:31:50.000 --> 00:31:54.999
Would you like me to put
pressure on there while you’re…?
00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:59.999
Well, if you (inaudible)
back, I do feel this,
00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:04.999
but I don’t know how to get on to a position
because it’s so uncomfortable to sit for me.
00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:09.999
And… And it makes sense if it’s a posterior,
everything is back further. Umm…huh…
00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:14.999
(inaudible) feet by the edge onto
something and try to lean forward.
00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:19.999
And then I was across the bed on the other side. Yeah, I

Yeah, okay. Yeah.

Uh…hmm…
00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:34.999

And my legs (inaudible). (inaudible). Good.
Maybe we’ll get this a little closer. Not bad.

I do feel relieved to have an explanation,
00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:49.999
I must say, because it… it just wasn’t
going away. Uh…hmm… (inaudible)?
00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:54.999
Yes, it does. You know, of course, the breathing
was not too normal, so yeah, (inaudible)
00:33:55.000 --> 00:33:59.999
and therefore I chose to…
but… but it still hurts.
00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:04.999
I don’t want it to hurt.
00:34:05.000 --> 00:34:09.999

It’s the renal… renal contraction,
00:35:35.000 --> 00:35:39.999
the actual contraction is going away.
00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:44.999

01:17:15.000 --> 01:17:19.999
I said, we have a baby.
01:17:20.000 --> 01:17:24.999
And she said… You know, we just had… we had it. And she said, was it a boy
or a girl? Oh, you know, a boy. And then she asked how much he weighed.
01:17:25.000 --> 01:17:29.999
Uh…huh… I think I’ll shift him
over, you get them up and…
01:17:30.000 --> 01:17:34.999
Okay, friend. Umm… She says that
01:17:35.000 --> 01:17:39.999
one thing to watch out with mammal…
01:17:40.000 --> 01:17:44.999
Does he have something
01:17:45.000 --> 01:17:49.999
in his mouth? Yeah, all whitish.
Yeah, good. Here we go.
01:17:50.000 --> 01:17:54.999
Yeah, he is a nice quiet (inaudible).
(inaudible). Huh?
01:17:55.000 --> 01:17:59.999
(inaudible). (inaudible).
01:18:00.000 --> 01:18:04.999
Super cold.
01:18:05.000 --> 01:18:09.999
I’ll go out
01:18:10.000 --> 01:18:14.999
and get a water (inaudible). Oh! Hi, honey.
01:18:15.000 --> 01:18:19.999
I think you didn’t have your daddy’s eyes.
I’m so glad.
01:18:20.000 --> 01:18:28.000
[sil.]
01:18:45.000 --> 01:18:49.999
Can you see Gerry, the way he’s looking?
The way he appears to be looking?
01:18:50.000 --> 01:18:54.999
S Uh…huh… Isn’t it… It’s… He’s not
really looking. Once he’s looking down
01:18:55.000 --> 01:18:59.999
and, I guess he doesn’t look at all.
He can’t focus.
01:19:00.000 --> 01:19:04.999
Uh…huh… I can see that. But isn’t…
01:19:05.000 --> 01:19:09.999
Can I try this? Sure.
Something is happening.
01:19:10.000 --> 01:19:14.999
As soon as we’re stimulating him.
Uh…huh… Yeah.
01:19:15.000 --> 01:19:19.999
My goodness his eyes
are… like I’ll go away.
01:19:20.000 --> 01:19:28.000
[sil.]
01:19:30.000 --> 01:19:34.999
I think his eyes are so interesting. Umm…
01:19:35.000 --> 01:19:39.999
We’ll get down first. Yeah.
01:19:40.000 --> 01:19:44.999
[sil.] (inaudible). No, I
don’t really think so.
01:19:45.000 --> 01:19:53.000
[sil.]
01:20:05.000 --> 01:20:09.999
Well, we’re all settled my baby.
No, we have to check it out
01:20:10.000 --> 01:20:14.999
to the car. Oh yes! Thank you. Yes.
01:20:15.000 --> 01:20:20.000
