i posted a message about 10 days ago regarding whether or not i should keep the screen up. well, based on the advice i got on mumsnet i asked for the screen to be lowered as my boy was being delivered and my husband caught it all on video. it is wonderful to watch and this time i felt more a part of things. our memories are so much better than those we had with the 1st c -section so thank you to everyone who posted their experiences. our little boy weighed 8lb 13 oz and was absolutely gorgeous and the c-section was not in the slightest bit gory - infact i can't stop watching it!
