I want to record it =]

and have a mirror down there.

It's kinda hard to see down there when your legs are being held up at your side and all. My husband and mother watched I didnt get to see anything until they pulled her out.

i didnt look....i decided not to...i have seen births before and i was afraid that if i saw what was happening i would get scared or discouraged. While some people think seeing will "help" them i thought it would make it worse. But that's just me.

I watched my first daughter come out and OMG it was amazing! I was so happy and crying cause that was my baby!

I wish I would have recorded it... but realized this in hindsight.  

I had a mirror set up and got to see everything!  I loved it and will o it for every other baby I have.  I'm an RN though and have lots of labor and delivery experience so it was right up my alley.

My hubs, however, never looked down.

i looked and saw head. i wanted to touch his head but didnt get the chance to.

well I looked ( couldn't really see much at first ) but I also had my sister video tape it, my boyfriend said he couldn't look but he did and he cut the cord! My dad also helped hold my legs and he looked too ( not to be nasty or anything my son is his 4th grandson and 6th grandchild, plus I am his babygirl ) but if you think you can handle it, ask for a mirror and ask to have someone video tape it....if not, don't. Sometimes things go so fast there is not enough time for that!

ThisI spretty much how I feel.I think it would freak me out. I don't even think
my husband will look.

I didnt get to look.. i had a c-section but my husband did and he said it looked really weird with me having a big open hole lol.

I didn't look but the doctor was wearing glasses so I saw some of the action.

I had a mirror brought in for mine. I geek out on stuff like that   It kind of motivated me because I could see what was happening and showed me that pushing was accomplishing something(If that makes any sense).

They gave me a mirror to watch my progress and see her make her grand debut . and it was sooo worth it .. Looking forward to watching everything again with this one
