Please could I film your birth?

Hello Mummies-to-be,
I'm a final year Media student at Bournemouth University and my final year television project is on childbirth choices for mothers in the UK. As part of this project I have to film a birth. I would be so grateful if anyone would be willing to get involved. It doesn't matter to me if you're having a caesarean, natural hospital birth or home birth. It would be a lovely memory for you to have too, I would prepare a dvd for you to keep. I can ensure you that I would do my absolute best to ensure my presence would not be invasive to your special day, I would be very discrete, like a fly on the wall. I really only need about 2 minutes of footage so I only need to be present for the crucial moment not during the entire labour, if that's what you wanted. Also the footage would be held confidentially between myself, my university tutor and yourself. I am willing to travel anywhere in England to film, preferably the south though. Please get in touch if you would be willing to take part. Thank you for taking the time to read this and consider my request.

Have you had any responses to your request? I am probably a bit further North than you want ideally but on the main London trainline/A1 so easy to get to, and not due till May so tight for editing before uni deadines but tempted by souvenir DVD grin.
