video recording of child birth..is that normal?

I was born by Cesarian so I wouldn't want to see a video of me being born. My sister was born in the natural way by a suction devise. She was in labor with my sister for three days. It all sounded unpleasant to me. My sister got her husband to video the birth of one of her kids. She told me it was tastefully done. I wonder if her child will watch it when he or she is grown up. My sister has four children and her third labor with miserable with a nasty midwife. I have three children and I didn't get any of their births videoed. I like to see TV programs about ladies having a baby like One Born Every Minute.

No way! Giving birth is nasty and painful. Yes I know it is a beautiful thing, a miracle. OUCH is what I remember the most about giving birth. I think if I had my own video I would have stopped at 1 kid. I don't know if I could watch it and the seeing my junk as anything but for making babies. Not really a turn on you know.

If possible and the doctors allow, I would really like to record it. Since I like to record this special and holy moment. It is nothing to be shamed of. This important moment will not repeat again. We can watch it later. If my child grows up, he can watch it, too.

The first time I saw some video like that was in high school. They made the girls watch it. I guess to scare us because there were so many teens getting pregnant. It was like watching a horror film. They have a whole tv show dedicated to giving birth now.

I think to each it's own. I personally didn't record or want to record it. Some people do like to do things like that. Some individuals don't show everything in the recording but just the labor and the baby being born. But I didn't want mine recorded.

I also think it's always a wonderful thing to see a baby being born, but I'd draw the line at videoing one of my children being born for the same reason that I stayed by my wife's head through the births of each of our children. I know it's totally irrational and stupid, but if I was to see my wife stretched to the maximum as she gave birth, I'd be afraid that I might feel just a little inadequate in my future relations with her. I know it's stupid, but I've heard tales, probably false ones, of it happening to others and I'm not sure I'd want to take the risk.

Each to their own, it's down to individual choice, some couples like to record it for posterity and to chart their child's growth from womb onwards. I am not sure the child will want to see it once they have grown up, kind of embarrassing for them. Some people will video absolutely everything, and nothing seems to be taboo. And what is normal? One person's normal differs from someone else's perspective of normal.

I did not have my children when you could take a video to where the baby was being born. I would not have like that, but then I don`t like webcams much either. I think the a recording of childbirth would need a lot of editing. For the most part is boring, sometimes it is even grosse and the only nice part is the end, when the baby is out. So, why not start videos after the baby is born?

My daughter is already 2, and she act like a grown up... when i looked at her pictures when she was still a baby, those moments will come back to me and the feeling i cannot describe it, and i wish that she was taken a video when i gave birth .. i also like to watch a video when my mother gave birth of me if there's any.. i would love to watch that...

As long as it is done tastefmy I would not have a problem with it. My forer pastor recorded his wife's delivery of their last child. Her private part wasn't shown. So they didn't show the exact angle of the baby coming out. It was videoed more from over the Belky so none of her essentials' were shown I. The video.

I don't think that rhere is anything wrong it if thats what they want to do..I mean I think its a matter of the individual..To each his own...Is it normal, who cares if thats what the famuky want to do...

I think it is okay as long as we recorded with in polite position to show that our mother have been fight for our birth. If i have a video about my birth, I think I will respect to my mother about her fighting for me. I think it is very impress.

Personally, I don't feel comfortable recording it. I am a mom and I wouldn't want any gadgets around especially when I give birth. Giving birth is a painful experience. Although I would appreciate taking pictures when the baby is already out. But during the childbirth itself, please no.

I don't want to record myself giving birth and I don't want to see my birth either. But I don't care if that is what other people want, as long as they don't force me to watch it as I am not particularly interested.
