We aim to live a self-sufficient lifestyle in the forests and aspire to be a part of the natural cycle.
In this video, we would like to report on the birth of our fifth child, and give you a glimpse of what it was like at the time of birth.

At 1:25 a.m. on March 9, we gave birth to our fifth child, a girl. Like our four older children, we were able to have a private, family-only birth (natural birth at home). We chose to have all of our children as private, unassisted births because we believe that childbirth is a natural process and that humans, like all other living creatures, can give birth on their own without the help of others.
We also chose to give birth only to family members because of our distrust of the business aspects of modern medicine, unnecessary medical intervention, and risks. This is by no means an endorsement of modern medicine, but for those of us who believe in the natural way of childbirth, it was the best choice. We have decided that we do not need medical care, doctors, or a third party to help us unless there is an emergency or something else that needs to be done.
Of course, we did not choose this method of childbirth out of ignorance, but rather to clean and prepare our bodies before the birth of our first child, to feed ourselves, and to build up our strength. I accumulated knowledge from various literature and books and did all that was necessary. As a result, all five of us were able to safely give birth within two hours of going into labor. I am grateful that the entire family was able to welcome the new life together and that both mother and child were safe.
My sisters cooperated and helped each other with the postpartum chores and supported us. For our family, private childbirth is a very natural thing, but we would never recommend it to others.
"Birth should be in accordance with the laws of nature."
