Photos during labour? Surely that's not normal!

[HomeIsWhereTheHeartIs]

I'm watching BBCs Midwives programme. The lady is pushing, nearly there; baby's head is out. I'm cringing just watching. Then suddenly her partner jumps in with his mobile phone and takes a photo... ?!?!?!? Why? It just seems so inappropriate/gross.
Or is it just me? Is it capturing the natural beauty of childbirth?

Haha you'll think I was a right weirdo when I tell you my mum not only took photos but filmed it! After 23 hours of labour I couldn't remember my own name, and most of ds early hours are a blur to me. I love looking at the photos. And the video is hands down the best form of contraception out there! Every time I even think aww I'd love another one I can watch and hear myself dealing with the pain and decide it's really not a good idea! My sisters and sil have also seen the video, but asked to as all from medical backgrounds and weirdly curious about stuff like that.

They're definitely not going on Facebook and are password protected so not likely to pop up as a scary screensaver either!
