WATCH: The Strength of a Mother Captured During Childbirth

Any birth -- natural or C-section -- is scary because we don't know how it will go until you're right there at the moment. However, as Doula Betty Lugay-San Luis explained at our first for the year "Smart Parenting Baby Shower," women's bodies are designed to carry and nurture a child for nine months and to give birth. Fear is understandable, but if you ever doubted your strength as a woman, nothing captures it better than the time of childbirth. 

Local birth videographer Dads Valencia Birth Films posted a video of a natural birth entitled Therese Joy's Birth Story last May 10, just in time for Mother's Day. "This is a heartwarming, tear-jerking, soul-refreshing beautiful home birth that will make you appreciate life and the new beginnings God gives to us every single day," read the caption.

The moving images of a mother giving birth -- the pain she needed to endure, her confidence to soldier on, the excitement of seeing her baby, and the pure joy of finally being able to hold her little one -- is enough to make anyone tear up.
