thanks for linking to this homebirth video. As a homebirth midwife in the UK I am absolutely amazed that the midwives intervened so much in this birth. To have a vaginal examination for the final phase of the birth was surely not necessary and the woman may have found it a lot easier to birth her baby if she had been encouraged to be in a more upright position e.g. kneeling, all fours, standing.
