Homebirth video - vernix

I love this homebirth video.

Wondering what that white substance is covering baby? It's vernix! Lots of great reasons to rub it into baby's skin rather than wash it off.

It's important to know that babies can be born in the breech position - and it's important that our health care providers know how to help facilitate that! Here is a personal story of babies turning mid-labor. Just because they start out one way doesn't mean that's the way they'll stay!
