Netizens exclaimed: Mom is so great, immersive childbirth video goes viral
At noon on July 18, after two days of labor induction, Li Xiaoxiang felt frequent uterine contractions. As labor began, her perception of the outside world gradually became dull: she could only hear vague tinnitus and her own labored breathing. A few hours later, Li Xiaoxiang entered the sprint of labor. With the Nth push, the tiny baby fell from between her legs, and the tense pressure and pain in her body finally disappeared. The world returned to its original state.
Even though the child was born two months ago, Li Xiaoxiang still remembers the moment of childbirth vividly. The process of her childbirth was also recorded. Recently, this video has become popular on social networking sites, with more than 10 million hits and more than 300,000 interactions.
This is an immersive birth video that records the entire process of a newborn being born from the mother's body, crying, being wrapped in tenderness, and getting close to his parents for the first time. The most special thing about the video is that through subjective perspective and immersive sound, the audience can put themselves in the mother's shoes.
It is reported that this micro-documentary was produced by the maternal and infant brand Babycare. The original intention of the idea was to "pay tribute to mothers and cherish newborns". It hopes that through completely true birth records, the audience in front of the screen can intuitively feel the difficulty of childbirth for mothers and the tenderness and beauty of new life.
In fact, Li Xiaoxiang's baby experienced some twists and turns when it was born. The expected cry did not come as expected after delivery. It turned out that the baby's umbilical cord was wrapped around the neck for two weeks. Doctors and nurses rushed forward to rescue it - cutting the umbilical cord, loosening the baby's neck, sucking out the amniotic fluid, and patting the baby's soles and back. A few minutes later, accompanied by a loud cry, the baby's body quickly turned from blue to red.
"It is really not easy for a little life to come into this world. At that time, I had only one thought in my mind, as long as he is healthy and safe, nothing else matters." Li Xiaoxiang said.
When Li Xiaoxiang held her child for the first time, "His little fingers would instinctively grasp, and his little mouth would suck hard once it touched the nipple." Compared with the mother, the father seemed to be holding a "missile" when he held the baby for the first time, with one hand supporting the head and the other supporting the buttocks, not daring to breathe, and delivering the baby to the mother's hands with his whole body tense.
When seeing the baby's smile, Li Xiaoxiang also felt the gentleness and tranquility from the child. "The biggest change in becoming a parent is that I feel a strong sense of responsibility from the bottom of my heart." Li Xiaoxiang said that she wants to give the best things in the world to her child and take care of him wholeheartedly.
Being able to personally experience a mother's childbirth process, netizens in the comment section had heated discussions: "The mother is so awesome" and "It's so cute"...
On social media such as Douyin, Xiaohongshu, and video accounts, videos of newborns often attract a large number of netizens, including "My 8-minute diary of giving birth", "The whole process of natural childbirth for pregnant mothers", "How is the baby born naturally?"...
For many young people, these real sharing videos are like a fresh science popularization and experience. Some are afraid of the pain, but more are happy and sigh for the arrival of new life. Some netizens said: Choosing to have a child is to look forward to a brand new experience in life, to grow up again under new roles and responsibilities.
In fact, nurturing a new life really does bring "secondary development" to parents. Studies have found that our nervous system has "neural plasticity" and will undergo a large-scale adjustment at each of the most important stages of life to help us face new situations. For example, after becoming a parent, the dopamine system will secrete hormones and give "rewards", which will make parents more motivated when raising children; at the same time, the "mentalization network" will become more active, allowing new parents to stare at their babies for a long time and never get tired of looking at them.
"Every new life that comes should be embraced by its own little world." It is reported that the new products in Babycare's "Camellia Newborn Soft" series were launched simultaneously with the recording video, including diapers, soft towels, newborn crawling clothes, etc. Through a number of innovations, the "softness" of the materials and touch is brought to the extreme. "We hope that both the baby and the mother can feel this 'care'." Babycare said.
