Incorporating personal care into the medical field
(12/07/16 3:17pm)
A home water birth video, which captures the beautiful process of giving natural birth with the help of midwives and the husband, has been viewed 9.1 million times on Facebook since Aug. 31. In the video, a mother struggles and gathers all her strength to contract, inhale, exhale, and pass on her strength to the newborn baby. The power of the video lies in its affirmation of women’s strength, challenge to the media misrepresentation of childbirth, profoundness of human bonding, and quest for natural birth and human activities in a society largely defined by technology and progress.
