Just wondering if anyone has given birth with their child present? Or considered it?
Currently pg with dc4, and dd (dc1) - will be nearly 9 - has asked if she can be there. Planning a home birth (had the last 2 at home) and considering the issues...
Obviously it wouldn't be good if there were any difficulties etc, but I can't help also thinking that there's so much negative portrayal of labour that it would be really good if she could see a positive experience (but that assumes it is...).
Any experiences/thoughts?
