pregnancy and giving birth in arctic. north nomads life
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- Tundra nomads like nenets or khanty or chukchi still live like their ancestors in a way. They still work hard nomading with reindeer for hundreds miles every month.
But wait! how about women giving birth in tundra when there are no hospital or clinic for 500 km! Well most of times they give birth right in tundra in their choum. But not always! Just take a look!
*My best friend's grandmother grew up like this. I still remember her telling us about it when we were young girls.*
She always said life was hard and they appreciated the little things they had. Without work there was no life. It made her stronger - somehow. But she hated that the whole village, especially the men, always pretended that being pregnant was just an excuse when you needed a break. They just couldn't understand why it was harder for pregnant women. *Men always wanted children. But pregnancy was a weakness. Total madness.*
She gave birth to 7 children. 6 died during childbirth because the man refused to help. It was too unhygienic for him.
The births themselves were torture. If she screamed or cried, she felt it for a long time. She would be a weakling. Exclusion. After the death of the 7th child, she ran away after the hospital with her only surviving child.
She always felt her existence as a Tundra woman as a slave. She said: *"If you never question your life, if you put up with everything just because a man says so or because tradition dictates it, then in time you learn to love your chains. And so the next generation is born into the cycle. I wanted to break out of this cycle. Build something better for my child."*
Edit: With some answers I really ask myself: are you serious? This woman has experienced hell on earth for herself, lost one child after the other, was always considered weak or weaker, condemned and abandoned by the husband and the village because of traditions, escaped this world and made a life for herself and her child. A new life built full of love, health security and acceptance. And yet she is accused of lying and you want to hear the man's opinion. Do some people genuinely believe that only then were the woman's experiences real and understandable? She fled her traditions. She fled from pain and lack of understanding. And yet the opinion of the man who allowed all this is to be important?
I don't wish anything bad on anyone. But I hope that these people experience something like this themselves, so that they realize the harshness and ignorance of their words.
Wow
She sounds like a very smart lady and I’m happy she escaped their misogynistic way of life
This story is what litterly what I was thinking as considering what they going through it's total madness😭
Thank you for this. It’s easy to romanticize videos like this, without knowing what is really going on in the hearts and minds of these people.
I was wondering why nobody helps her at 9 months pregnant. Is it even safe to do manual labour that late into your pregnancy. This video made me so sad. 😢
My respects to these mothers they are true warriors, when I see videos like these I realize that we take so many things for granted.
It’s a truer blessing knowing how to live off the land
@@shamandalei9452
Less cold land would be better. The arctic just doesn’t seem ideal for humans. The cold, lack of sunlight, etc.
@@73cidalia Yeah but then a similar sentiment can be said for those who live in the dessert except it's hot. This can also be said for those in a city exposed to pollution. Anywhere you go there will be challenges. Some are harder than others. Frankly I'd prefer cold to heat but that's just me. We humans can adapt to just about any environment. Our bodies are amazing machines that can adapt to most environments.
@@chapstickaddict435 Except we aren't adapting biologically. Our bodies are still the same, we learned to use better tools. If we actually adapted to the cold we would have developed fur or thicker hair on our bodies. While we can theoretically live in just about any environment, it doesn't mean we should.
People risked their lives to to take her in. She could of died or baby. No reason to live this way if you need help.
The children appear so happy, healthy and loved. Much respect to these mothers!
How did you assess their health status and emotional state from the few seconds that they appeared on screen? Please, do share your assessment tools with us, you sound like a brilliant youtube diagnostician.
you dont know if they are happy
@@NMN_CP Don't be an asshole. OP said 'appear' - they're smiling, laughing, have round little well fed looking faces, and in the clips their parents interact with them with affection. Based on that info, then yes they APPEAR happy, healthy, and loved.
Because they are outside all day with their family :)
@@NMN_CP I said that they "appear" happy, healthy, and loved. I never claimed it was my professional opinion. I also never professed to be an expert in child rearing or pediatrics. However, from what was available in the video I made a few observations that led me to post what I did.
The children were appropriately attired for their environment. Their clothes were handmade and not store bought. This shows a level of care and forethought on the part of the adults. As they cannot just run out to Target and purchase new clothing as the children grow and seasons change. (Though I imagine it's just different levels of cold/winter there. Lol) Also, taking into consideration that there is no running water, they look to be fairly clean. The children have pink, chubby cheeks. Their eyes are clear and bright. My last 2 observations along with the meal preparations we witnessed on film lead me to believe they are well nourished. I witnessed no emotional outbursts or behaviors that could be cause for alarm. I could be wrong in my assumptions, but I doubt it.
Just like right now, for instance. After reading your comment, it APPEARS to me that you are an asshole. Who else takes time out of their day, to give another person hell, for simply posting a kind comment? 🤷♀️
Btw.... I do have a B.S.W. and experience working with children and families.
Unreal. I cannot imagine giving birth, let alone giving birth as a nomad in the Tundra. Not only that, they are forced outside the main home and told not to scream. For many reasons, including this, I believe women should be held in the highest regard in every society. So much respect and honor to Vera. She is the hero of her family.
Men should never have been allowed to make the rules for women because they truly don't understand all we go through.
Yes, but only in societies that respect being a mother. Not in societies that teach women to take birth control, start a career, and maybe have kids when you are in your 30's.
So not hold these women in the highest regard.
But yes, this is the way it should be.
@@johningle1 I am one of those women you described, the original poster of this comment. You would hold me in low regard for my own life choices? It is my body. It is my life. I will choose what I do with it. Keep your judgements to yourself.
I will add that despite my different life choices than the woman in this video, I lifted her up in praise. I did not put her down. Nor did I put down any other woman, including myself, for making different life choices. I am celebrating ALL women. You are only celebrating some women, and putting down the rest. This is the difference between people who love women and hate women. Support and respect them all, even the different ones. Learn from this, and maybe one day all women will respect you too.
Women are actually biologically stronger than men. Also, it's women who do most of the domestic work around the world. Many men are lazy and do as little as possible. Then they impregnate their women to add to the women's burden.
@@aprettylittlemonster everyone judges you. we know you by your fruits. hilarious that you think you're above reproach. grow up, girly.
There is nothing more adorable in this world than those babies running around in their little coats. Omg ❤
They are so precious ❤. Sweet little innocent babies all happy and warm. Them coats are made so beautifully!! Everything is. Truly an amazing people ❤
It’s absolutely fascinating learning about cultures so very different from our own. I’m in awe of these people and their traditional ways- I could never live in such a frigid and relentless environment. They all seem very content in their tasks and their familial roles. And what precious little children! Thank you for sharing.
There are stories of women having so many dead children because no one would help them since birth is dirty. Yet they need to get pregnant again but need to work as usual. That's not culture, that's torture and against human rights
Это их работа .у них есть дома квартиры в городе .
Is it so bad to have roles? Actually I think it is how God intended it.
Seeing the baby made me cry. It's such a hard life, I don't even understand how you survive like this. You're strong and I have a lot respect for you.
Humans have survived like this for hundreds and thousands of years! The comfortable life you lead has started only in the last century.
Ne t inquietes pas, leurs vies est plus belles que la nôtre !

Most beautiful children
@@planetmyr4719Bah va les rejoindre si la vie est si difficile pour toi
I just love the little kids in their warm coats❤ Little penguins😊
Me too.
Yes
Adorable
The moment when Vera gave birth is literally one of the most powerful moment I have ever witness in my life. I gave birth myself, and went through the labour process for almost 48 hours. I felt so much pain that I can only imagine what she went through. She is such a powerful woman, her husband and her children are blessed to have a woman like her by their sides.
Love to them ❤

Much respect for these mothers, they’re literally warriors 👏
They're the real heros
Warriors not warrios!!
@@brookeschultz5037 HAHAHA!!! LOL thank you for pointing out the typo!! 🤣🤣🤣
Do they wash
Es sind keine Kriegerinnen, sie tragen keine Waffen und bringen niemand um. Sie machen und gewinnen keinen Krieg, sie bekommen ein Baby in der Natur, darum sind es Heldinnen und keine Kriegerinnen 🙏☘️
I’ve given birth to two of my three girls unmedicated and absolutely screamed through the pain! I CANNOT IMAGINE what it would be like to be in this situation.
wanna adopt me im 14 :D
@@sweetdoll6641bruh are you okay
@@hyeronymusdon’t feed the trolls
Gave birth to all of my three children without hospital and without pain medication. I’m veeeery sensitive to pain but always told myself „This is me. My body can’t overrule myself. The waves come from me within. I can do this.“
I gave birth to two children unmedicated at home and I was like this woman, extremely quiet.
I love how the grandmother and auntie chuck the baby's cheeks. That is love in any language.
I am 4 months pregnant right now. They say that my Native tribe came from the far north to escape the cold. I am thankful that my ancestors brought me to a nice, warm place where I can have a better life. I don’t have to keep a constant fire going, sew leather and fur apparel, herd, hunt, or eat raw meat during my pregnancy. I give big props to this woman for being strong supporting her family and giving birth in the cold temps. I see similarities to my culture in terms of staying active during the pregnancy and also not being noisy during childbirth. Gonna try my best when the time comes. 😅
Good luck, Good bless you both ❤❤❤
Hope everything went great and you and baby are happy and well!
I screamed like a warrior during my birth and it felt right lol. I was also uneducated haha
I am part of a prepared mindset of people a group we prepare for any disasters may be losing your job. The power going out for six months no water for two months, that kind of thing. i’ve been a member of this group for going on six years now and I have lived through my own natural disasters in my 50 years on earth, and I have learned to be prepared since then. Watching this type of content, watching Eastern European cook can dehydrate do everything on the fire pit, and without power without heat without all that stuff, and they are able to survive and thrive, and they live a hard life but a full, loving happy, Life. I don’t envy these women. But I sure respect the heck out of them. They are strong, proud, beautiful, contributing members of this group of this family they make it work they stay positive. They reflect on what life really is. With my medical conditions nowadays there’s no way I’d be able to do that type of off grid living. I do live in Alberta Canada where it gets -50 Celsius I know how to grow my own food how to cook my own food how to process it now I’d like to learn how to dehydrate my meat, because. It’s not -50 all year round that’s only for a few months and it’s -30 Celsius for six months so for four months we have summer and that’s when we grow everything we possibly can if the deer and the rabbits don’t eat it. Lol. Anyways, what I wanted to say, was blesses people whatever they believe in whoever they believe in bless them every day of their lives they are the true heroes of our world.
I'm native American & we have similar beliefs, my grandma told me to stay very active during both of my pregnancies or else I'll have a difficult labor. She was right, both pregnancies & delivery went smoothly. I also didn't scream or wail.
5h⁴😂
Thanks for sharing. I've had 3 pregnancies and my least active one was the most difficult labor. My most active one was the best pregnancy overall.
About screaming / wailing- it's interesting that they don't do this. I started to scream during my labor and my midwife told me don't scream high pitched, but grunt if you need to. Screaming brings the energy to your throat and changes your pushing when you need that energy where the baby is coming out.
GOOD FOR YOU AND CONGRADS
That actually makes so much sense I had my first and only child so far almost 2 years ago but everyone was so worried because I had a lot of health problems but I was super active during my whole pregnancy right up until they induced me and it only took about 30 min of pushing it went super fast for my first child even the nurses and doctors were surprised my mom was crying she was so happy it went fast and easy for the both of us
@@Kayannajo In some of these arctic cultures (for example chukchi people) you need to be very careful in getting angry, sad or expressing pain. Evil spirits can possess you! At least, this is how it was time ago! Maybe some beliefs still live today.
They probably still practice this silent, humble way of living their negative emotions.
There is no way I’d survive this. It makes me realise just how much I take for granted. These ladies -and their babies- are warriors.
True.
Males wouldn't survive it either
Me too as an African I can't that cold oh hell no salute to them.
This looks almost like how animals have babies.
Birth control!!
Thank y’all for sharing your way of life with us. Here in the USA, things are totally different. I haven’t stopped watching your videos since last night. I could not survive there, you are strong people! Take care
Aussum people and very strong very nice video these people are heroes well done
😂😊
,
I’m from the USA as well, in New York.
You COULD survive there If you had a will to live, you would definitely make it !
Thank you for this video..very informative
Why do so many traditional cultures consider anything to do with women to be unclean. Why are men never considered unclean.
Because man make such rules
Exactly the man can be dirty like a dog
I think it's largely a misunderstanding from the Western point of view. Concerns about cleanliness tend to be for the protection of women during periods of fragile health when they are more susceptible to infections and death.
Interfering medical system. Mother and baby were fine
Have you ever seen a birth? It’s pretty darn messy. If I lived in a house made of natural fibers I’d probably not be too keen on giving birth in there either.😅
A beautiful example of how humans survive! I hope Vera is happy and her children happy and healthy ❤
I am glad that these women still get to have some kind of medical care and are also willing to take it. It might be possible to do that all without any, but better safe than sorry. It ensures that they can keep their traditions and lifestyle going.
This is interesting to see. This is well documented. Seems like despite the harshness of the weather/climate, people still manage to survive. We wish them all the best. God bless them all.
❤❤❤❤

Human survives and so we are in 2023, survive of fittest is key
I've been having round ligament pains on and off for two days now ( I'm 20 weeks 🤰) I couldn't clean even getting out of bed was a struggle. Imagine having to take care of the family in such cold weathers while you're pregnant! I have so much respect for Vera 💪💪💪❤️
Lo que pasa es que tú tendrás ayuda, y cuando vivís como esta mujer sin ayuda alguna no te queda de otra que retorcerse de dolor y seguir adelante el dolor es sugestivo mientras más te detienes en pensar en el más duele. Si duele pero tú familia depende solo de ti te arrastras por los pisos pero sigues adelante , te tardarás más pero lo haces.
You are halfway there! You can do it! Adding turmeric to my diet helped loads with my round ligament pain (and general inflammation). Stay super hydrated. I and 6 months pp with number three, others are 2 and 4. While this wasn’t an easy pregnancy the birth was soooo easy.
@@Alltheavocados not yet, I cant wait to see her but she should bake well well 😇
@@catherinedurbin9298 im on it sis thank you ❤️ do I add it to my food or do I drink it??
Seriously?!?!?! Ligament pain means that something is wrong!!!!!
Какие сильные люди! А детки просто чудо
Vera is absolutely amazing, such a strong lady and such a lovely kids she has... Can't believe how tough is their life and respect all her family members for keeping their traditional life but not refusing a professionals helps... Let the little ones be healthy and happy!
Really inspiring, I've been through two unmedicated labours, they were powerful moments of my womanhood, I felt so strong afterwards, I have so much respect for these women doing it 'in the wild'.
I had intense labor pains and was screaming on top of my voice for 1hr. Amazed by the strength these ladies have !Just wow!
Sounds like suppression and not something to be impressed over in a positive way. Please, they should take care of the mothers. I wonder how many children are born to early or health ruined, lives lost because of the harsh condition s, lack of medical help and hard work until the day of labor.
Moaning is better. Screaming can slow down labour, as well as trigger negative responses. Moaning and breathing, on the other hand, can help, as well as trigger positive responses.
After seeing what these women do every day, and then what they go through giving birth, I have so much respect for them! I have the nerve to whine about being tired when I’m surrounded by every conceivable luxury and these women work up until the moment they go into hard labor. Respect isn’t even enough to cover it!
That human ancestors brought children in the world, not rock science, all animals give birth in wild in hash conditions and the offspring survive, human have much more way to be comfortable. They know how.
The baby swing rocking away at 9:36 is so precious!
Спасибо!💖 Удивительные люди!☀️
Да, мы привыкли к благам и многое воспринимаем как должное! С любовью из Санкт-Петербурга❤
Such beautiful children. I'm amazed at there way of life. I've much respect for the mothers. The little puppies are adorable :)
When I see this people living like this…I don’t understand myself…why do I complain? We are so lucky! My respect to all of them.❤
Thank you for sharing this video. It is very humble indeed to see how strong the women are in the tundra ❤❤❤
when it comes to labor my daughter in law could be from these people. i stayed with her and this was her first child. she never made a sound during the entire time with the exception of transition stage when she quietly said 'i don't know if i can do this'. told her that she was near the finish line and she continued with her silent labor. she was absolutely amazing!
And what is the problem if woman are loud? If they scream and cry?
I felt relief for the mother sleeping on the helicopter. Hope she was able to get some much needed rest and warmth at the hospital. Healthy baby, safe delivery…such a blessing
Thank you for sharing this. It is a gift to know how families in other cultures live especially in remote places like the Arctic! The woman in this clip…wow…super strong!
They are content with their way of life. The people find satisfaction in what they have and what they do. There is a unity in their way of life. Their lifestyle is called work. I love hearing the stories. Thank you.
Wow just doing all the work, thawing ice first thing and their daily lives seem so hard. But to give birth and take care of a newborn-- that is up and above what I could even think of doing. They have to go to the tent by themselves!! I really admire the people!! Do the women have a harder life with more work? I guess the males have to hunt animals for food of course.
@@veldaschmitt1504they have to do a lot even while pregnant and there’s a lot of stigma around pregnancy, they cant even scream or give birth in their homes, it’s really sad

Reminds me of stories of my great grandmother working in the fields on the farm until labor then working next day! I worked up until labor but I was 20 and worked in a video store! These women show just how strong women are!
Blessings for the family, amazing people! Thank you for documenting and sharing! The mother's lullaby is so beautiful.
I’m in utter shock at how hard these people live. They don’t complain, the children are having fun, they all help. We Americans are truly spoiled.
And yet some Americans truly believe they're oppressed & victims 😂😂😂
These moms are amazing. In the US there are warriors of a different kind. I watched my labor & delivery co-worker do a 12hr night shift while in labor with a breech birth. She finished her shift, continued in labor for many hours, pushed 4 hours and then had to deliver the baby C- section. Her name in Gina...thats also a warrior!😇❤️
No. That's madness
4 hours must be the max until the docs decide to do C-section. I was in labor for 12 hours and pushed for 4 hours. The doctors decided to do a C-section because baby wasn't coming out. Turns out, baby's arm was caught up on my pelvic bone. In the old days, they maybe would've had to reach inside the birth canal and break baby's arm to get her out. Even though I didn't want the C-section, I am still very glad for advanced medicine and that we could get her out safely.
Lol GINA. I pronounced it like china but with a G😂😂😂
Jesus, nobody should go through that.
Why was she working in labour? Its sad how America doesn't really do maternity time off. I heard some people only take 6 weeks off after giving birth?! In the UK its between at least 6 months to a year off.

I guess you have to born into that harsh environment in order to survive it! Us softies in the West wouldn't last a day! Much respect for these nomads...😊👍🇬🇧
Wow those are some strong ass women! She had her baby natural in a blizzard in a cold tent and didn't scream out!. This is amazing that I can see how these wonderful people live when im on the other side of the qorld in 🇺🇸 in Tennessee. Love these videos thanks for sharing
Therefore I could only endure three hours of labor pains before I asked for a epidural.
I asked for meds when I walked in. What a sissy. This woman never, moaned, screamed or cried out. Wow! 8:55
Imagine that crying out in pain during labor is viewed as a sign of weakness. Ok then, I'm weak!!!! I'm super weak!!! LOL
@@breatherepeat shit they couldn't give me enough meds im a man so idk how it is
They have societal pressure, if they cry or moan, they need to hear taunts from others, so they shut their mouth •
That doesn't mean they don't feel pain or don't wish to cry it out•
In most non modern cultures there is this problem• showing feelings of pain is considered weakness
Truly beautiful. Thank you for sharing Vera's birthing with us. The first time I'd heard of 'silent labour' was from my own mother. She too said that to make a noise was 'a sign of weakness', and I recall my mothers last two pregnancies/labour very well. Not a noise from her at all. I put it down to good old farming stock! When I was 21 and 22, I had my children. I endured long labours of 25 and 19 hours. Did I have a 'silent labour'? Well, not quite but I did grit my teeth and kept remembering my mothers words. I did just grand and didn't cry out, however, I managed to eat into the pillows during both my labours! I love all of your delightful short films as they always leave me feeling calm and serene. The peace loving nomads could teach us so much in our fast paced world. Thanks again. It's been a wee trip down memory lane!
Impresionante! Me llevan un día y me muero. Es increíble como hemos hecho nuestras vidas tan cómodas al grado de ser tan intolerantes y poco agradecidos. Mucha humildad, respeto y agradecimiento es lo que nos falta
I got tired just watching the kids, I couldn’t do half of what these people do. They’re amazing.
Congratulations on the baby. This was beautiful glad mom and baby are doing well .
Honestly am humbled 💕 watching this vlog, i respect all mums in this land, be blessed ❤️ can't wait for the nxt video, full support from Nairobi Kenya 🇰🇪.
Extreme of human endurance... beautiful baby girl... salute to them ... beautiful documentary... thanks
Much respect and the pregnancy and labor part is so much like our culture, if a woman is giving birth and they scream or yell it’s a sign of weakness so once you know you’re in labor even if it’s very hard you cannot make any noise. It’s sad for the women because some of the things we learn in our culture isn’t so great! You’re a human being, you’re not some metal thing. I gave birth my baby boy last year November but I tried not to make any noise no matter how painful it was didn’t take the epidural cause it’s also a sign of weakness.
Magnifique reportage. Courageuses les femmes enceintes la bas . Les bb qui arrivent sont costauds.
This is truly a rough life, the cold, ice, secluded, God Forbid they have a medical emergency. These are survivors of the land, simple, honest and loyal people. Good Karma, God bless them and keep them safe in their daily life.
This was one of the most beautiful pieces of humanity Internet gave me a glimpse of. Thank you.
That is definitely the prettiest baby swing I've ever seen!
Those children have the most beautiful eyes!!!!! I’m literally shivering watching this!
God bless the mother, the child, the family and the herd. Greetings from the warmer side of the earth ☺
Seems a bit toxic to not even let her cry or yell in pain, it's not weak to do so, it's okay to express pain
It actually opens the cervix more to make vocal noises!
Everybody has their own culture in the way they live leave it alone. That’s your opinion.
it's not advisable to scream while giving birth in the tundra. you will attract wolves.
Seems TOXIC to even use the word when watching and learning how other Cultures live 🤬
Gotta be american 🤦🏾♀️

O sagrado feminino e toda a sua força. Mulheres guerreiras e fortes. Desejo tudo de melhor em suas vidas ❤ impactada com todo o vídeo
Bellissimo video
What an incredible glimpse into the traditional way of life and resilience of the nomadic people indigenous to the harsh Arctic tundra regions. This video provided unforgettable insights into how they've adapted to thrive, even when it comes to something as fundamental as childbirth, in one of the most unforgiving environments on Earth.
I was in awe watching the nomadic women going about their daily reindeer herding tasks while heavily pregnant, traversing the frozen landscapes seemingly undeterred by the extreme conditions. The strength and self-sufficiency required is admirable.
The scenes of them giving birth outdoors in basic tents or even sleds, assisted just by family members, truly highlighted their close connection to nature's cycles. While it seems unimaginable from a modern perspective, you captured how this is simply a way of life upheld for generations, steeped in ancient traditions.
At the same time, I appreciated seeing the efforts to medevac certain higher-risk pregnancies to the nearest towns when possible. It drove home the thin line these communities walk between preserving tradition and adopting practical adaptations to improve health outcomes.
More than anything, the raw footage felt like a window into a world untouched by modern societal constructs. The power of the visuals alone - newborns swaddled in furs, nomads undaunted by blizzard conditions - conveyed such resilience and harmony with their environment.
While alien to my lived experience, glimpses into the cycles of life in these remote regions prove how the human spirit can endure and even flourish under the harshest circumstances. An eye-opening, humbling, and extraordinary look at traditional Arctic cultures.
2025 Beautiful Tundra wife prepping for birth is truly enigmatic under such conditions seemingly painless.
Her clothing looks priceless the entire family wardrobe is stunning with baby on the way. Bless this family for the open candid cinematography of sheer magnificence. ❤❤❤❤❤...😊
These people are phenomenal. I admire their resilience and fortitude. ❤❤❤
These WOMEN are phenomenal
They truly are. ❤
Que hermosa la bebé, ellos nacen y se crían acostumbrados a ese clima tan inhóspito, realmente son dignos de admiración. Y nosotros nos quejamos por un. poquito e frío.
These Mothers are awesome! It seems as if they do all the manual chores. Hubby sat and ate, and looked at baby...what do these men do? These women are unstoppable!❤❤❤
They build shelters, hunt, and do a lot of hard stuff. It just wasn't shown in this video.
Men have to hunt, breed the reindeers, their main income source. Men also take care of their family but in a different way. Women are in charge of home chores and Men are in charge of bringing food and talking care of their main source of income. Therefore don't think men don't do anything.
Take your toxicity somewhere else . They do all the work together ,they are like a unit.
My toxicity? I asked a simple question. Take your toxicity somewhere else.
Indigenous culture is so powerful. This woman did beautifully. ❤ My grandmothers and aunts all lived like this many moons ago. Natural is always best.
What a beautiful baby :) happy birthday little one.
Out of curiosity I wonder what woman use when it’s their time of the month??

Love your videos Patrushevs
Watching from INDONESIA 🙏🏻🇮🇩
this is beautiful in its own way, but I must admit it breaks my heart to see her not being taken care of, even when giving birth. It honestly crushes my soul :(
She IS being taken care of in the best way - from her own family and not strangers
@@avaklein3827yeah but not being able to cry / yell isn’t .
Did we watch the same video? she is surrounded by relatives helping her give birth.
@@juliadjwjia7245The person narrating the video exaggerated for effect. It’s not they aren’t allowed to, it’s how they are taught to manage the muscle’s contractions. If you are taught to yell and scream, you do. If you are taught to breathe, to relax, to position yourself, if you are given self-confidence by those around you, you respond to uterine contractions in a more gentle way.
You need to control your breathing when labouring, I've been through two unmedicated labours and breathing helps you ride the contractions. Much like a hard work out. If you scream you actually exhaust yourself. She is very well looked after by the women, she's covered with a warm blanket and they are obviously assisting her.
I love being Native and Very proud to see this. ❤
Hold ON TO YOUR TRADITIONAL WAYS ❤❤❤❤
U wanna live like they did in the dark ages??!!
Great respect💝
How is it possible to be in labour without making a noise … 🤯
Amazing doc 👏
Здоровья малышке и мамочке, будьте счастливы!!!!
WOW! It’s a rare thing for me to be at a loss for words but watching that labor left me wordless!
This documentary is so amazingly well made! Wow. Just wow!
Thank you I love these videos ❤️The nomads in tundra are my favorite 🤩
🥹 que hermoso video...me emocioné,tanto por la familia,la mamá y la bebé...y por la gente del helicóptero todos ellos héroes...👍🥲🥲🥲
I love watching their every day life it's something that you don't see here in Cali 😊Thank you for taking care and keeping the furbabies inside where it's warm ❤🐶 God bless you all ❤️😘
omg the kids are soooo cute waddling around in their heavy snow gear
It must be incredible to be a kids doctor there, you have to almost start believing in miracles because in med school we learn all that needed medical care when pregnant and there it just happens without our help. respect to all these women
This is why home birthing is on the rise again, less risk as the women are comfortable! But an option for medical care if needed
congratulations for having a healthy baby 🥰 what a wonderful life you have there❤
Well I certainly wouldn't want it!!! Hands up if you'd like to exchange yours for hers.
This ist my home...❤now i'm living 1000's km away, in another country and i probably will never see the place of my birth again, but i will always keep this land in my memories and it is the most beutiful place on earth for me. Thank you for sharing!
As interesting as nomads life are, the puppies and dogs are really cute!
With great respect for these families, especially mothers, they are warriors. I don't know how they tolerate the cold and its harshness.
These women are so strong. So much respect
I have so many questions… giving birth inside is unclean, but the way you make them inside in front of your other kids or family members is not?
لا تستطيع الا الانحاء تقديرا واحتراما لمثل هذه الشعوب و خصوصا لنساءهم الاولاد نعمة اتمنى لكم الصحة والعمر الطويل ❤
a voice actress in Brazilian Portuguese would be good, or subtitles in Portuguese from Brazil. I love to see news from other countries...
I am genuinely curious, how do couples find private time while they all live in the same tent?
if she doesn't cry during childbirth do you think she would cry with his tiny dick? probably no one hears anything
Probably behind the curtain they have their bed and don’t make noise, just like she was giving birth 😅
Depends. I read in some studies that some have given an empty chum or they use the one from other families borrowed. Maybe others just use the private area of the tent
@@letitiakearney2423 she was given birth in a separate structure!! Giving birth in the same tent where you live is dirty for them
@@N.a.r.iI agree with them that although it sounds cruel to give birth in a separate area, it is alot more hygienic. Quite a lot of body fluids come out when giving birth and you don't want all of that all over their main living space especially as out there it would be difficult to thoroughly clean the area.
Nations are on the backs of mothers around the world. What a strong mother 🥹❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Where are they getting that thick firewood? The trees behind them are spindle twigs.
For us mothers here who lives in a comfortable community, our doctors always reminds us to be careful and not to make ourselves tired if we are pregnant, but look at these pregnant women in arctic, they need to work until they give birth. I salute to these mothers, they are really strong and a warrior. They are very precious. ❤
Very interesting, it seems a very hard life compared to us in the western world. The baby is beautiful 😍
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Wow the woman's singing at the end is so beautiful! I'd love to know the song.
Los bebes ahí son tan lindosss 🥺🥺😭✋🇲🇽✨
