Where I'm going to deliver they offer a mirror so I can see what's going on during delivery, but my question is...

Did any of u watch urself in a mirror? If so, did it help u deliver or make things a little more difficult since u were seeing everything?

I don't get grossed out easily I just fear if I watch I'll be more focusing on watching what my vag is doing rather then pushing, but then again I really wanna see and they don't let u record it.

Just remember the bag goes back to normal. What u see isn't a forever state. Yes ur have swelling and pressure and some blood but its not like that forever. Also like I said u won't even be able to focus on what ur bag looks like with ur baby's head emerging

Thanks ladies. I wanna see the experience but then again don't wanna feel different about my vag or anything after.

I watched with my first and it actually helped. Seeing her starting to come out helped me push more and be motivated to make her come out its an experience ur never forget. When baby is crowning u don't focus on how ur bag looks but how amazing it is to see ur baby arrive . I'd say go for it. If it gets to much for u u can always ask them to move it away. Although wise ur always what if.. I wonder how... Etc.

I didn't use the mirror they offered but I said no. I didn't want to see anything. I don't get grossed out easily but the whole coming out of my vagina has never appealed to me. I didn't even let them use normal birth coaching terms like she's crowning.

I did have it recorded and I watched it after but the during I didn't want to freak myself out and have a panic attack. And risk not pushing when I should have and end up in an emergency c section. Because I did want her born vaginally. But I also had the epidural so I didn't feel anything when she came out.

Don't do it.! Your body will know what to do without seeing it. Plus you may never feel the same about yourself. I didn't look and I hate my vag. But if I would have looked I feel as if I would have chopped it off lol (yes I know that's impossible) but like I said your body is made to do it without seeing it.

I didnt want to do that. She made me feel his head beore I pushed one last time and that was cool. But I was more foused on getting him out
