I really want to video the birth of my baby due in January. I love watching births on the telly so think it would be nice to watch my baby's birth and also to show the child later on how he or she came into the world.
Another reason why is that I know lots of people who say they soon found they couldn't remember anything about the birth so I think having a video recording would help me remember.
I wondered if anyone else had had their birth videoed.
The only person other than the midwife who will be at the birth is my husband and I'm not sure he will be able to film the birth and also support me and I'll probably want him to hold my hand at the bits I most want filming so it will be difficult to even get photos taken of the baby being born!
Also I wondered if the midwife would object as I know some people hate being filmed and whether it might put her off, although I'm hopefully having a home birth and have booked with an independent midwife
