Birth Videos

Have you ever wondered what all those words you hear in a delivery room mean?

These videos will review the birthing process and help you understand what some of those terms mean.

Thinking about labour and birth may be overwhelming at times. Learning about what is happening to your body can be helpful.

Planned Caesarean Birth

Note: These videos represent the unique situations of each family sharing their stories. Your story is also unique and may have similarities or be completely different. All policies, practices, and items available for the location you have chosen to birth at may not be represented by the situations shown. Visit or speak with your hospital or birthing centre prior to giving birth to see what options are available to you (such as birth balls, scent policies, number of people in the room, availability of tubs, including cultural practices, etc.). If you are having a home birth, the options available to you will be explained by your midwife.
