What a pleasant YouTube video it is! Remarkable, I liked it, and I am sharing this YouTube video with all my friends.
Aloha, I’m an artist in Hawaii who has recently done a detailed coloring book of childbirth images and I would love to share them on your website if you have room available. I can be contacted at amberskyfire at yahoo dot com.
Thank you so much for this resource. I am blown away by all of the imagery here!

I am a childbirth educator hypnobirth practitioner and a doula from Chennai ,India.
Birth visualization is not practiced in India
I had been using opening blossom from hypnobirth syllabus through which I gained interest in birth visualization
I need to know whether can these images can be used for my expected moms
Hi Jayashree, thanks for your message, and my understanding is that you can use the images for purposes of educating the expectant mothers you work with. You cannot use the images if you are selling them to your clients.
Have you heard of Janet Chawla? She is an Indian-American who I think now lives in India and teaches about natural birth (with a focus on using art in birth) in and around Delhi. Here is her website. I have also been in contact with her and have written about her here.
Best wishes to you in the important work you’re doing.
Nowadays you have lots of hospital over which you have to pick the best. Some of the best guides on choosing hospitals been given by Best Fertility Hospital in Chennai.http://cmhospital.in/
