I need an answer about Japanese Childbirth?

Subject: Hi I have a question about Japanese Childbirth

Hello,
I've been looking for information on Japanese Childbirth. I uploaded this video on youtube, it is about a Japanese birth. The nurses are chanting. Is this a traditional thing, a custom? I just wondered if you could explain what this video is showing.
Thank you, Janice Poole

Here's my youtube video.

The chant is to set up a rhythm for breathing and pushing. If you watch the girls face, near the end of each repetition you can see her pushing, and at the beginning you can see her breathing, inhaling, getting ready to push. You can also see the nurse on the right hand side of the screen, with her hand under the sheet, at the upper part of girls abdomen also applying pressure during the pushing phrase.

Sorry, didn't watch it to the end. I'm a bit squeamish.
