Samiyyah: I thought it would be painful, but it wasn't at all. This is a common procedure and usually helps speed up the labor process. Narrator: Her midwife feels it's time to break her water with an amni hook, since she can feel the amniotic sac bulging. Samiyyah finds some relief by trying a combination of slow steady breathing, constant deep massaging and counterpressure, spending lots of time in a heated Jacuzzi, and trying different labor positions.Īrvan: She's doing great. Narrator: As her contractions pick up, she starts experiencing painful back labor, typically caused by the baby's head pressing against the lower spine.
Samiyyah: My goal is to remain calm and try to stay level-headed. Narrator: As Samiyyah's labor progresses, her baby's heart rate is monitored every 15 minutes.
Samiyyah: We've talked about, you know, what he's gonna see, we've shown him pictures, and I think he'll be okay. Her mother-in-law, Irena, and 6-year-old son Safi are there for support. Helping her through her first natural birth is her husband, Arvan. It's important to choose a birth center with nearby hospital privileges in case of an emergency. Samiyyah is 3 centimeters dilated, 100 percent effaced, and her water hasn't broken yet, which is common in the first stage of labor.īirth centers offer a more relaxed and intimate alternative to hospitals for women expecting uncomplicated births. At the birth center in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, Julia Rasch, a licensed nurse/midwife, performs an internal exam and starts an IV line to give Samiyyah a dose of antibiotics, since she's positive for Group B strep. Narrator: Seven days after her due date, Samiyyah's labor kicks into gear. So why not? I mean, women, we were designed to do this. It's healthier for the baby it's healthier for me. Samiyyah: Yes, I've been told that I am completely crazy for being, you know, for not having the drugs, but I've been there and I didn't like it, so I figured I would try this. This time, she's planning a natural delivery - without pain medication and other medical interventions - at a birth center. Narrator: For her son Safi's birth, she was given pitocin to speed up labor, an epidural for pain management, and an episiotomy (a surgical cut to widen the vaginal opening). Samiyyah: With the first pregnancy, I delivered in a hospital, and it was very restricting, you know, being confined to the bed, not being able to, you know, move when I felt my body wanted me to do certain things. She is 38 weeks pregnant with her second child. Delivered with jolting honesty, her insights are more depressing than any number of spread legs or sleazy song lyrics.Narrator: Samiyyah is the owner of a day spa in Philadelphia. “It doesn’t mean I don’t want to do it.” Whether interacting with the camera or her progressive parents, this savvy preteen illuminates the pressure to go wild with an acuity that the film around her lacks. “There’s stuff that I know corrupts me,” a frighteningly intelligent 12-year-old admits as her passion for gymnastics is replaced by a desire to pose provocatively on Facebook.
SEXY BABY MOVIE HOW TO
The gold standard for her tidy new genitals might well be Nichole, 32, a former adult film star now focused on making a baby and teaching professional women how to work a pole. Relinquishing commentary to their subjects, the directors Jill Bauer and Ronna Gradus watch - much too closely - as a young kindergarten teacher has her labia snipped to what she and her boyfriend consider more attractive proportions. But this scattershot investigation of the effects of Internet pornography on female behavior only ruffles the surface of a complex issue, one that demands a much larger sample than three white, educated women.
Substituting graphic imagery for solid research, the documentary “Sexy Baby” hopes to reach our minds by grabbing our eyeballs.
