Are you going to have your birth recorded?

[Newmomma_2015]

not sure how I feel about getting the delivery recorded but my fiances mom (of course) wants my fiancé to.. How do you feel about it?

[african_mama_bear]

Yea I don't think you should make a soldier out movie out of it but just for yourself and if your kids wanna see it one day when they go thru those phases and wanna know from you that's just my opinion plus it's just me and my boyfriend in there again so it's still a private moment

[zareenawifey]

No way. For me the labour is not a time to remember. Let alone share with people in the future! It is such a private moment and you are so vulnerable at that time.

With my first I had a c section and I was highly medicated and was in pain that's why they kept giving me medicine so I honestly don't remember hearing her cry them saying it's a girl or anything I remember her dad bringing her to me and I was so drugged up I asked who is this Spanish beautiful baby lmao she still looks black and Spanish cause her dad's side I'm African but anyhooo I always ask him so what happened how was it what did they do and I'm sure he is annoyed with my question and I hate asking him so this time I might have it recorded

[african_mama_bear]

If I was to do that I wouldn't be all all down there I'll ask them to record from chest up and the baby first coming out and her cries and them cleaning her and handing her to me I think that is a beautiful video

[newmama21]

lol I wouldn't mind, my first I went all natural and as like a way of coping with the pain I think my brain just like zoned out cause my memory is really patchy like I remember some things and other things I don't remember at all, its really weird so I'm going to ask my mom or husband to record me this time but just a few shots here and there on my phone

I wouldn't have a videographer but I would definitely consider a birthographer for my next pregnancy! They actually do some very beautiful and tasteful work, and most photos they will edit to a black and white copy if you want to share them without worrying about the whole blood thing. They don't take photos of down there, it's more so baby's first breath, parents first reactions, first hold, first feed, cutting the cord etc etc. All those moments you want to remember. You only give birth to that child once. I had my mum take photos, which I'm glad I did. Because I had a second degree tear, while I was getting stitched up, she took the photos of my fiance cutting the cord and our first cuddles, first family photo etc. Don't wipe it of the cards, keep the option there for consideration :)

It's a no for me too...I barely agreed to let my fiance in the room as long as he stayed by my side and not be looking down there. He wants to see her coming out and everything but i said he can only start looking once her head starts coming out.

No way I wouldn't show it to anyone or probably ever watch it.

[martysquirrel27]

I'm extremely private. So no for me.

[xojensen_]

Yeah I mean everyone is different but it's not something I'd just want to make a scrap book of or sit and watch with a bowl of pop corn. It'll be just my fiancé and I and as few as nurses as possible.

[sabbylopez]

Well I birth at home so so my doula/photographer/sister in law takes as many photos as she can. Personally I don't see birth as "icky" I live the photos she takes and yes some have cooch in it but there is a beautiful child coming out.

[rainbowbb]

I'm having a photographer there for the end of labor, the birth, and a few shots afterwards of the baby. Most hospitals won't allow "cooch" shots and will only allow them above the waist for liability reasons(how scary is that?!) This may be our only baby and I chose a classy photographer. No "icky" photos haha

[Newmomma_2015]

Me neither.. I really don't even want his mom in there really let alone being filmed lol but then again it's a huge experience so idk!

[xojensen_]

I'm def not lol don't want a camera all up in my cooch
